Free enterprise places the reins in our hands!

Islam is the blueprint misogynist, all encompassing attack to destroy a woman’s soul:

Dehumanizing her, degrading her, blaming her, silencing her, isolating her… until nothing is left but loneliness, self hatred, fear and sadness …

1. Your parents were born to muslim parents so they’re automatically muslim. You’re automatically a muslim too. You didn’t choose your religion and you can’t opt out of it or you will be executed.

2. The compulsory hijab law makes you a criminal if you choose not to wear hijab even tho you didn’t choose to be a muslim and you don’t consider yourself a muslim but the regime has forced you into that role whether you like it or not. And when you ‘break that law’, they can do with you as they please.

3. little girls as young as 7 yrs old are forced to wear hijab at school even tho the islam itself says the age is 9. and all the schools are gender segregated so imagine how they force you to get used to hijab even when you’re just surrounded by other girls. And all day long at school they tell you horrible stories about what will happen to you in hell if someone sees even a strand of your hair.

4. the regime modifies all the textbooks, story books, cartoons and movies to represent the ideal woman with full on hijab. The iranian media is ordered to photoshop every photo of a woman that may be showing a little skin. And if they’re iranian, no hair is supposed to be seen or that will be photoshopped away. Women are mostly excluded from billboards and tv commercials.

5. imagine going to work or meeting up with a friend when suddenly the morality police kidnap you in broad daylight and force you into a van to take you to a station where they will treat you like a criminal and if you don’t agree to get humiliated and do as they say, they will put you in prison. And in case of Mahsa Amini and so many more before her, they will beat you to death. My sister was barely 18 when she got kidnapped and they didn’t let her call home and she’d been so fucking scared and we had no idea where she was. Imagine all the psychological trauma.

6. If you’re in a car and not wearing hijab they will fine you and seize your car. So when u get into a taxi the driver will ask you to keep your hijab on otherwise they’ll get fined. And if you refuse they’ll ask you to get off the car.

7. And its not just about hijab. In Ramadan, they get even more vicious. If they catch you eating or even drinking water on the street they will give you lashes as punishment and even imprison you for breaking the law. If you work in a state-owned company it’s even worse. They will close the cafeteria and take away the water dispensers. All restaurants are banned from delivering food before iftar. It’s a fucking mess. Everyone has to pretend they’re fasting or they’ll be severely punished.

8. And how could I forget about this! iranian women are banned from singing! the islamic regime prohibits women’s singing voices to be heard by men so imagine the horror of having 50% of the population banned from ever becoming a singer. If they identify a female singer in iran, they will take her to jail and force her to repent her sins in the most humiliating way so that she will never dare sing again.

9. And every time the regime gets wind of a private gathering of men and women trying to have fun and live their fucking private lives, the police crash the party and take everyone to jail bc the Islamic regime bans iranian men and women from having fun.

10. Did you know that the islamic regime doesn’t allow women’s faces to be printed on their obituaries or headstones? They put a flower for our faces instead and if they see a headstone with a woman’s face printed on it they’ll smash it to pieces. That’s how religious dictatorship continues to oppress and erase women even after their deaths.

11. For some reason, women aren’t allowed to ride motorcycles and the government won’t issue any license for them. In some cities, women are barred from riding a bicycle.

So if you see Islam has become for many iranians a symbol of oppression and torture and discrimination, that’s why. The regime uses islam as a weapon to silence and punish anyone who opposes them. You can love islam all you want from the safety of your home in a free country and talk about how kind and benevolent the religion is, but in iran, it’s a whole different story.

Our economy is fucked. All govt officials are corrupt as fuck. Most websites are banned in iran. Even tumblr is banned. The world has cut the iranian ppl from many services. We don’t have intl credit cards like visa card. Amazon doesn’t do delivery to iran. We cant get netflix, spotify or even a gamepass subscription. we don’t get any Apple services here. iran isn’t listed as a country you could choose when signing up for a lot of services. and when we decide to leave iran and escape this hellhole, every country out there will make it sooo much harder for us to get a visa just bc we had the misfortune to be born in iran at the wrong time.

This is the story of iran for the past 44 years. Held hostage by a corrupt regime that uses religion to suppress and torture the people and being abandoned by the rest of the world bc our lives don’t matter.

Oh and i should add:

This corrupt fuck of a regime has been destroying our country's culture and resources for 45 years!

They have been destroying forests to build luxurious villas for themselves. They literally dried up lake Urmia and the Zayanderood river with their lack of management

The actions of the islamic republic led to the demise of the last Persian cheetah in Iran, named Pirooz. The species is critically endangered

Our historical landmarks are slowly decaying because this anti iranian regime just doesn't care about Iran's culture

We suffer from serious water shortage especially poor provinces like Balouchistan because the mullahs keep drying up the lakes

And don't get me started on how they are destroying our culture. We barely celebrate our many Persian traditions. Islamic republic has always been trying to "islamize" Iran, meaning the want to erase our Persian culture. They have been trying for years to "modify" or just remove our celebration of the persian new year Nowrooz.

This year the mullahs literally BANNED everyone from celebrating "sizdeh be dar", our ancient tradition of hanging out with family on the 13th day of the new year. They closed up all the parks, cafes and restaurants to prevent people from going out! Can you imagine how FUCKED UP this is???

Differences between male and female temperament and behaviour in groups has been well-observed in every culture. Women score much higher in agreeableness and are more risk-averse than males, placing much more emphasis upon getting along with the group or the tribe they are in, in order to better survive through numbers. Males have been shown everywhere on planet earth to routinely take greater risks, partly because of the much higher testosterone levels they are born with.

The idea that men and women are these two interchangeable blobs that are socialized into their universally-observed gendered roles is largely ideologically-created nonsense, having no basis in anything observable in physical reality or the rest of nature.

Hamas are war criminals.

The fired at a US military helicopter and went straight to the fuck around and find out section of the rules of engagement.

They took 25 innocent hostages.

We still don't know where they are.

Fuck Houthi Terrorists

You can't nonviolently target civilian ships with ballistic missiles.

Leo Kearse had a field day with that.

2:02 "Woke Progressives helped the first-ever Muslim [city] council get elected in the United States in Hamtrack, Michigan. The Muslim Council immediately turned around and banned Pride flags."

"So the Muslim politicians allied with the progressives to get into power, but then once they were in power, they passed laws according to their own homophobic ideology. If only there'd been some evidence of homophobic laws in the Muslim world to tip off the progressives!"

Small Town Guy's business:

You know, people have as a hobby (a very expensive hobby they pay a lot of money to do!) spinning, weaving and sewing. You know the things we need to make cloths and other items out of cloth. A lot of us happily trade finished pieces for supplies or other things we need.

People enjoy spending their time and money and spare hours forging, blacksmithing, welding … all the things you need to make a wheelchair.

Hell, I know a super libertarian asshole (love you, man) who has spent the last 24 months and scads of money on making plans for wheelchairs that 1) can be built from hardware store parts and 2) handle terrain so that he can donate the plans and supplies to rural communities where access is needed.

The idea that people have to be slaves to work is absurd and insane. I don’t know a single damn health care worker who went into it for the money.

But, as I'm sure you've noticed, the lovingly hand-crafted clothes that you've received as gifts from friends who just love making clothing are a very small fraction of an average person's wardrobe, and if you tried to rely entirely on those and never touch a professionally or industrially-produced garment, you'd end up spending a lot of time in rags.

The simple fact is, the majority of people just aren't going to do something labor-intensive or unpleasant unless they're compensated for it in some way. Sure, there are always some, but not nearly enough to keep a society running once you start relying on them for vital infrastructure instead of a couple of fun art projects.

(Oddly enough, it never seems like the people who imagine this grand utopia where everything is free are volunteering to do the necessary work. No, they always seem to assuming that somebody else will do it, and calling anybody who refuses cruel and greedy.)

Of course, there's no rule that the compensation has to be monetary in nature. I would be more than willing to help you out with a problem today in exchange for the expectation that you would help me out with a comparable problem in the future. But that only works when the person who has the thing you need right now is somebody you specifically and actively know as an individual, with an emotional connection and everything. So if you're relying on a personal relationship, you can never get help from anybody outside of a circle of maybe a hundred people, less if you have any kind of mental disorder or just lack social skills.

So, next step, you could trade goods directly for other goods, with for example a person skilled at crafting clothing and a person skilled at growing crops bartering back and forth to ensure either one is hungry or naked. Since the exchange happens right up front there's no need to rely on sentiment to get your compensation, and even complete strangers can usually be relied on to deal honestly.

But what if the thing you can provide is more esoteric, not something that you can barter away in the same manner to the same people month after month? The hypothetical money-free utopia always seems to still have a robust internet, so lets say I'm a person who builds smartphones (at home... with my hands... out of materials I scrounge up... somehow...). I give one to the farmer for a month's groceries, I give one to the tailor for a snazzy outfit, I give one to the mechanic to fix my car, and then next month... I need more groceries, and the farmer's already got the only thing I know how to make for her.

Maybe I could trade it to somebody else, who doesn't have anything that I want but does have something that the farmer wants so I can use it as a sort of intermediary step? But that requires figuring out all the desires of anybody who has something I need, then hunting down whoever can fulfil those, every single time I want to keep having food. Pretty soon I'm operating more like a Fixer or a full-time middleman just to find the opportunities, and I can't even keep up with the actual manufacturing.
