lying about the situation in Iran and Eastern Ukraine only helps the violent fascists in power in those places

Looking at history, it's western intervention leading to far right in both though. Ukraine saved itself from Nazism thanks to communism, and only after western-style capitalism took control have far-right movements taken place. As for Iran, I wish Mosaddeq hadn't been ousted by the west too, but alas it's again not "tankie lies" leading to violent regimes, it's western meddling. The tankies you hate have advocated since the past century against the ending of the USSR (which would have saved Ukraine from the demographic and humanitarian disaster it's suffering for the past 25 years) and against intervention against Mosaddeq. If you had listened to the tankies 70 years ago, there would be no far right.

Europe: collaborates in the genocide of Palestinians

Europeans: "China is so evil and militaristic, look at all those hypothetical things they could hypothetically do to Taiwan!"

Believe me, I'm a communist, there's nothing I wish more for Iran than a secular socialist government, land reform, LGBTQ and women's rights, economic equality... Unfortunately, the west destroyed their most recent chance at this with the total sanctioning and military intervention against Mosaddeq, because British Petroleum's interests in the region were more important than the lives of Iranians. CIA paying mafias to perform protests against the government, MI6 paying actors to destroy private property and pretend they were communists, military blockade of petroleum exports... The whole suite.

This is why I reject so much further western meddling. If Iran is to have a socialist government, it will be by itself without meddling, and the point of focus from the west should be, IMO, preventing sanctions and military action against the Iranian people. However bad the Iranian government is currently, the only alternative for now from what I see is ISIS or Israel, and neither is better, it's the sad truth of geopolitics.

It's not whataboutism, the protests are literally created by western-manufactured poverty, the US has admitted as much. Remember that the sanctions on Cuba are justified with the following:

"to bring about hunger, desperation and overthrow of government". I'm quoting official US memos here.

You don't need to know much about Iran at all to know for a fact that US intervention will make it worse, you just need to look at Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Palestine, and every other "repressive dictatorship liberated by US efforts" to see the consequences of invasion.

The protests in Iran are happening because people are literally dying due to impoverishment caused by western sanctions causing the local currency to implode. Focusing only on the government reaction during a period of military buildup Against Iran amounts to atrocity propaganda, however well-meaning your intentions are. It's meant to create mixed feelings about the invasion amongst progressives "look at how dictatorial they are"

How many people have died in Iran as a consequence of western sanctions since their currency exchange value plummeted? Remember, EU+US sanctions murder HALF A MILLION PEOPLE YEARLY

I agree, that's why we all should condemn the western sanctions that made the local currency collapse and led people to starvation and violence

I don't think most people here have any problem with collectively owned computing such as torrenting or SETI@home. The problem are private companies.

Rolling averages are used to smooth-out graphs with high-frequency noise. Since measuring the stabbings per month only gives you some 50 stabbings on average, maybe one month you'd get 30 and the next month 70 due to stochastic reasons, and so to make the graph smoother and more readable and long-term trends more visible, you can do a rolling average.

As for the "starting in 600", that's common practice and it's good as long as the axes are properly labelled, which they are.

If it wasn't for that we would either be homeless or be all living in my grandparents' house

Or you could become tenants from a wholesome small landlord! I wonder why that wasn't in your possibilities?

Are we the assholes if we rent our house in order not to force my parents to work 200 hours a week since salaries here barely reach 800€ a month?

So the people renting your apartment will be the ones working 200 hours a week instead? The lifestyle of your parents depends on other people paying them rent and you still can't understand why private rent is theft?

what we need is strong national regulation, not banning renting houses altogether

The "stronger national regulation" needed is the expropriation of rented housing to a collectively owned rent organization, and the masse-construction of affordable housing for social rent, and the rent of all of this housing stock at production+maintenance costs.

To be clear: most people would do what you're doing in your situation. But the fact that your family is escaping overwork and poverty through renting one of their flats simply means that another poor person who can't afford to buy a flat is subsidizing their lifestyle. It's not that your family are intrinsically evil people, it's that private rent is exploitative by its very nature.

Currents aren't drawn incorrectly. Electrons do move backwards, but since their electric charge is negative, the current goes the correct way.

Let's translate yours: "I cannot conceive of a social housing system similar to that of social healthcare, in which people are guaranteed housing at affordable prices by law"
