Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Comrades, I'm stuck working on some university bullshit and thus I am bored. So, let's shoot the shit. I am an Iranian computer engineering graduate student (have a bsc degree in CompSci) and I have noticed that my country Iran is completely... opaque, so to speak, to even leftist of various denominations from the outside. So, let's talk comrade to comrade. Ask me shit about the daily soulcrushing grind of life in Iran...

Iran is more developed than 90% of the united SStateSS of ameriKKKa for crying out loud

Sorry I'm an American so I have brainworms ๐Ÿ˜จ

Like you said elsewhere, some Iranian expats also have brainworms so it's the only thing we hear about over here.

I would say maybe the majority of our history has been stolen

Yeah I didn't think the paintings I saw were just temporary loans from Iran and were being sent back. Unfortunately a lot of stolen shit from all over the world ends up in western hands. The Br*tish are notorious about it.

Like you probably heard about how the Christian fundamentalists who own Hobby Lobby bought stolen art from Iraq via ISIS. In a just world, they'd be put in prison and re-educated while their wealth was distributed among Iraqis as reparations. Instead, they paid a small fine and made to give the stuff back. They still got to keep some other stolen artifacts from a seperate deal because they gave them to some Bible museum.
