Cause the USA cared so much about “democracy” before

They clearly haven’t smelled him.

This is a story I heard second hand. Have not verified it cause Iranian history gives me a headache.

After the revolution Khomeini started persecuting minorities and women, despite having promised not to.

Some trans woman kept going to his house and harassed him until he agreed to at least keep protections for trans people.

Iran is the odd one out of middle eastern countries where it thinks being gay is abhorrent but being trans means you’re defective and need the appropriate healthcare. Not that public healthcare in Iran is great. And people are still transphobic.

Hey, remember when democrats were saying Trump is crazy for trying to start a war with Iran?

Again, using passive language as if Isn’trael is not responsible.

They’re not trying to ban them though. And fines are nothing to a multibillion dollar company.

TikTok

I think the guns and the trickle up economy are far worse. But this isn’t actually about mental health, but banning media that shows a non western narrative.

Not at all convincing

Also lol I like how you assumed I was talking about every Israeli.

Quite the opposite. Fascists are humans too. No fictional demon is capable of the shit Isn’trael has done. They’d be less scary if they weren’t human.

Also, Israeli=/=Zionist=/=Jewish. They’re related, but conflating them is antisemitic.

The only people who deserve to be treated as fascists would treat them are fascists themselves.

Uhuh. It’s only a matter of time with the democrats. If they’re fine with mass murder of middle easterners, they can easily do the same with white queer people.

Regardless, I’m not interested in having an argument with some internet rando. I’ll not reply going forward.

Smartphones have other uses, but more importantly forcing anyone to comply with this rule is gonna make them want to disobey more. It’s the responsibility of the education system to educate ofc but also streamline education, make it easier. Keep their attention. If the kids aren’t distracted by their phones while they hate their school, I guarantee you they’ll find other ways to distract themselves. I’d be maybe fine with banning certain apps. I always say smartphones aren’t addictive, they’re useful. It’s apps that are designed to be addictive.

Not Khomeini, Khamenei. Khomeini was the previous one and the so called “leader of the revolution” (while in a foreign country being held by the CIA iirc.

You make it clear to the democrats you won’t tolerate them adopting right wing policies and genocide.

Democrats have turned against migrants and queer people too. I’m sorry to say this, but the world is unsafe for queer people everywhere, including me.

If Trump wins democrats would get off their asses and try to block him. Instead they’re now totally on board with building a functionless border wall, for example. Remember when people called Trump insane for doing that. Now here we are.

Vote for whoever you like, keep your family safe. Perhaps I’m the exception, but I will never feel safe again, regardless of who wins, and I’m Canadian.

No one is free until everyone is free.

Neither. Leave it blank or vote green, even though they definitely won’t win. Giving your vote to the Democrats now, from their perspective, means you’re complacent enough to ignore an entire genocide. Your government is absolutely gonna use weapons and tactics against its populace that Israel has been doing.

And no, Trump doing more genocide isn’t a valid argument.

Remember when people thought Trump was crazy for trying to go to war with Iran? Choosing the lesser evil everytime in “democratic” elections has got us to this.

Document the undocumented, provide what they need to start a new life in the country, use their labor, stop using migrants and refugees as scapegoats.

You don’t move that many people without killing a lot of them and scarring the rest for life.
