do you think you sound smart or something? yeah they're not deporting every single Chinese student, how many need to be deported for you to care about it? it's a problem, it's racism, and it describes a general anti-Chinese sentiment within the US. Asian hate crimes have increased, professors have been falsely accused and fired because of "espionage" with no proof, and so on.

how many Swedes do you think are being falsely deported?

what exactly is stopping ASML from raising prices on their machines by like 1000%, since they're the only ones making them?

100%! he's by far the best English language Iranian historian.

  • everyone should read this short article Why the Islamic Republic Has Survived

  • Khomeinism: Essays on the Islamic Republic is a great insight into Khomeini's ideology and the founding ideology of the state. he refutes the idea of Iran as a fundamentalist theocracy and shows that, in fact, it's a very practical bourgeois state

  • The Coup: 1953, the CIA, and the Roots of Modern U.S.-Iranian Relations is probably what OP is looking for

  • Iran Between Two Revolutions also covers the coup, but describes in-depth the communist Tudeh party (and other leftist movements) and how they were sabotaged by the West

this was in the latest episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, wtf is this?

this is the guy's second time on the show. I genuinely don't even remember what he did irl, much less think about this guy in 2024. he's one of those Lev Parnas type guys where I will never care what they did or who they are. he's also quite possibly the worst actor I've ever seen.
