Don’t worry, zakat is another Islamic concept the clergy (I think that’s the right English word) abuse and twist to line their pockets. Zakat and khons are both about donating to the needy, but both ideas have been twisted so many times. Khons details are different but the word is related to the number 5. The first version I remember being told is that you pay one fifth of your yearly earnings’ leftovers.

Nationalism is the stupidest thing humans have created regardless of who their propaganda affects and how.

Also, not all Iranians are Persian. There are multiple cultures, despite nationalist attempts at cultural genocide.

Out of order, I had that experience. Took me till this September to put it together, and I’m now 28. I thought it was just a kink, purely sexual. Nope.

Important to the upper classes, but not important to the wellbeing and health of average people.

I’m sorry you and others had/have to go through that. It’s infuriating that anyone would do that.

ABA schools are still a thing??

Plenty of Americans STILL think their crumbs of democracy will save them from their own government.

I won’t be happy with anything less than a total arms embargo of Isn’treal.

Funny meme but fuck Shadiversity

It’s ridiculous to me that wHite politicians determine who gets to move onto their stolen land. As if capitalists don’t profit off wage theft, specifically in this case of migrant workers. It’s as if these people think they’re special for having the most violent genocidal ancestors in human history. Looks at camera

What does pointing your anger at and blaming other voters accomplish? They did the right thing. Republicans want minorities dead and Democrats are holding them hostage. I’m glad Trump won. Now white Americans can feel a fraction of the suffering Palestinians are going through. That’ll make them care. That’ll make them fight.

If any civilian should be blamed, it’s you for accepting this lesser evil bullshit over and over and over again to the point that got the world here. If the only thing that comes out of your mouth is shit, then don’t talk.

“Not all men, but definitely this fucking guy,” moment

There’s the pointless blame game, y’all play when your “democracy” fails again and again and again. When the fuck are you stupid Americans gonna figure out what the rest of the world knows from the USA spreading “freedom” and “democracy”? You have no one to blame but yourself, bud.

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.

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.

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
