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...

Look the short answer is that the Iranian diasporoids are notoriously quirked up and they're usually part of some monarchist/MEK cult/zio cult nonsense, so it's better not to try rationalizing their positions because they come straight out of a crack pipe

There are people who say Khomeini was a plot against the gLoRiOuS mOnArChY and shit, there are people who fled Iran with lots of stolen money in 1979 and live in LA, there are doomer new gen immigrants who are the most anti-immigration hitlerites you can find

just don't bother with them they're mentally fucked

Noted, also just to mention, nearly all of these I've encountered were students who had come to study from Iran, constantly complaining about their country and going on about the "oppression". Sort of sucking up to the locals by trying to distance themselves from their "backwards" homeland.
