Historically the US funded a lot of important medical research. Do you think they did this for altruistic reasons?

Similarly, healthcare is beneficial to the state to keep workers healthy.

States do many things, good and bad, but none just out of the goodness of their hearts.

True. It’s a state. I can’t think of a time a state did something for purely altruistic reasons.

Wow I rarely say this about Chinese government but based.

lol I meant like for Jews only insofar as it’s for everyone, and it’s for Jews because they are a subset of everyone. But that’s a stretch so I see why you were confused.

Ah, what could have been…

And I don’t have any problem with that. The issue is when they decide to enhance that distinctly Jewish character by expelling or killing everyone who is different from them. That’s called fascism.

How can it be “for Jews” but also be inclusive of non-Jews? That’s the whole problem.

Unless you mean for Jews in that it’s for everyone who wants to live there and participate in such a society. But that’s not what they typically mean when they say “for Jews”.

So unbelievably petty…

Not me but apparently they’ve confirmed they’re looking into this “glitch”.

That’s pretty damn hot. Around 120 F for those imperialists among us.

Not the same person.

Is that actually true? Seems dubious right now.

As non insta user who’s being forced to dip my toes in for the purpose of community organizing: what are these and how do I use them?

Why is SDF integration desirable?

“Mexican land form makes dangerous terrorist attack on proud American munitions.”

If you haven’t been accused of being a terrorist in 2026 you’re doing something wrong.

What is the evidence she ordered people to be blown up? I didn’t see that skimming the article you linked.

Dude fuck off. Obviously they can do what they want. I’m just explaining why it’s a bad idea. Neither of what we think matters, it’s for Iranians to decide how they want to handle this. But if I were them, I’d pick literally anyone else.

It’s totally ridiculous to suggest that there are no leaders remaining in a country of almost 100 million. There surely religious figures, protest organizers, local heads of community, literally anyone would be better than a monarch. Or if there is truly no one then I have to believe a better exile exists who is not so clearly a Western puppet and with the same toxic baggage. Or, worst case, let there be no singular leader. The protestors can choose delegates for a council of leadership. Even no experience is better than such a dangerous outsider.

There no point in overthrowing the government if what replaces it will be no better.

I mean his only qualification for leadership is he’s a prince. If you can’t see that alone is a risk of reinstating monarchy I don’t know what to tell you.

Surely there is a better option, someone who has actually done leadership work on the ground in Iran, not just spend his whole life whining about his birthright and being a tool for fascists.

If you think the Shah will be any better than the ayatollah then you are a fool. It always starts out temporary with these tyrants.
