Additionally, mental hospitals are overused.

When someone has a crisis, instead of a receiving a meaningful intervention at the source of the crisis, they often will simply be locked in a hospital and forced to take drugs, offered no other support. They can stay confined as long as an accountable judgment is maintained that they are not adequately stable, and have essentially no rights in the interim. The whole system is farcical.

The rhetoric of the Islamic Republic identifies the 1956 coup as among the paramount grievances against the US. It therefore carries elevated importance from a standpoint of understanding seriously the Islamic Revolution.

Generally, you seem not to be understanding that the current political configuration in Iran has specific historical antecedents that are vastly more nuanced and and expansive simply than the observation that Islam is the dominant religion of the region.

I suggest you try learning to apply a critical historical lens, freed from a preconception that Islam is more relevant to various events than all other possible antecedents. You can understand the complex politics of any particular Muslim-majority society without being an apologist for Islam.

The 1953 Iranian coup d’état was orchestrated by the CIA and MI6. It was a project of Western colonialism to restore control of Iranian oil fields to Western corporations.

Iranian society has been Muslim for over a thousand years, but the Islamic Republic emerged only in the last half century.

You don’t understand historical causation, and you don’t understand how to engage arguments respectfully and constructively.

That you have concluded I am defending Islam is proof enough that you have not engaged seriously.

Such seems to be claimed, but the claim is so far unverified.

Until journalists investigate and report, we should not adopt any conclusion.

Also, the image implies that it was Trump who committed the acts against the infant, which is not alleged by the complaintant.

You seem not to understand the meaning of the term.

At issue is not price, but rather class relations.

The post is sloppy.

Not only is the image AI-generated, but the premise is confused and unsubstantiated.

Please consider removal, due to the abundance of concerning problems.

The tools of the bourgeoisie are not the means for liberation.

Straying from the path of authentic liberation at most simply leads to different oppressors.

The community has a rule concerning AI-generated content, but the phrasing is not natural to interpret.

Without your comment, I would be at a loss to interpret the post.

My autocorrect entered the wrong word.

The UK participates in global imperialism in partnership with the US.

It benefits from imperialism, whereas states in the Middle East are subordinated as vassals, or otherwise marked as enemies.

Your examples are distant and incidental, in relation to the present, collected largely through cherry picking.

Regardless, western imperialism of the overarching power across the globe. All other systems are distorted to conform to its demands. Thus, it is quite apparently the root cause of problems around the world, especially problems that are geopolitical.

To repeat, Iranian society and government were broadly secular until after foreign intrusion. The colonial relation between Iran versus the US and UK occurs in only one direction.

It is counterproductive to locate primary responsibility other than in the root cause.

The community is maintained as permissive.

Defederation requires major consideration, if instance administrators are to remain responsible to their users broadly.

You may feel more comfortable in communities that enforce more narrow constraints.

Religions are not invented but rather evolved, and the two you mention came into form long before the life of anyone currently living.

Some individuals seek unity, and some seek decisiveness divisiveness.

No one mentioned Russian peasants.

The references are quite apparently relevant to life under advanced economies following neoliberalism.

Your objection frankly amounts to little more than a deranged rant.

I already explained, the comparison to slavery arises from the coercive conditions of labor under capitalism.

The US was founded on slavery and genocide. When elections were implemented, four percent only of the population was granted suffrage, propertied white men.

I always wonder at what particular point the US is believed to have become democratic, since its founders clearly maintained a deep enthusiasm for racism, sexism, and aristocracy.

Imperialism by its essence is the overarching influence in the region, as the system of global hegemony. Other influences are subordinated and distorted that they conform to such hegemony.

The disparities between various regions, such as between Europe versus the Middle East, are directly a consequence of imperialism imposed by the former on the latter, not by either carrying an intrinsic superiority or deformity.
