Google 1970s Iran vs now. It’s an interesting contrast of how quickly societies can change; and some would argue, not towards the future but backwards.

    The super strict places with morality police are not common. But thanks to US intervention, it is more common in Iran. Kind of like how if you wear a drag outfit downtown in Alabama, you’re going to have a bad time and in many US states, now get arrested.

    What the fuck

      Yeah he’s just dictator simping.

      Or “eVeRyThiNg is USAs fault” (look what “they” did in 1933!!!)

      Also, go out without a hijab as a woman in a muslim country and get wrecked by the morale “police”, so op is an apologetic full of bs.

      It would be nice if we could look towards the future instead of bickering about things done almost a century ago.

        The Iranian Revolution was a predictable and direct consequence of the US’ actions. Placing some of the blame for Iran’s current ruling theocracy on the USA is perfectly justified as a result.

        And most Muslim countries simply are not as extreme as Iran or Saudi Arabia. Most Muslims in most Muslim countries are, like most people of any of the world’s other major religions, pretty diverse in their attitudes.

          Lol what are you even talking about, try to go out without hiding your hair in any muslim country and lol that just won’t fly.

          But lets go back to Eisenhower and blame him now I guess instead of being the slightest progressive here.

            You can’t be progressive without learning history, to find out the context of why things are the way they are. Or else people will keep making the same mistakes.

                The problem is that the USA is still doing this kind of stuff. WW2 was beyond most living people’s memory, but the Vietnam War, Iraq war, the war in Libya, their attempted coups in Venezuela and interference in Bolivia, their support of Saudi Arabia’s wars in Yemen, support of religious fighters who became Taliban in Afghanistan, and support of Israel’s genocide is all either within most people’s living memory or ongoing right now. We love roaming around the world messing in other people’s business lol.
