Massive protest in Iran

Basically is fhe United States kids are sent to school with regular bc American kids adults are often allowed to work and there is a path to citizenship. By the second generation kids of immigrants are for the most part Americans

Europe isolates them. Isolated where they can live. Whether they can work no path to citizenship in most contrived

The best examples re Turkish people in the United States who work speak English send kids to college

And Turkish people in Germany who keep rioting because they are not allowed to be part of German society not really

What England is doing is even worse

It elevated immigrants to a weird special people status where they gave them too much attention and too much too quick. That resulted in a backlash. It’s weird. It’s like xenophobic countries that have hated outsiders for centuries have no clue how to deal with them.

Sounds like Iran is going out with blaze of glory before regime falls. Reports are Khamenei activated IRGC and missal city on highest alert.

Sounds like slaughtering of Iran protestors is in full swing.

Yep, there’s horrifying videos popping up on my telegram account from people there. There sick

And America (and the Scandinavias) proves that they don’t assimilate even when encouraged to do so.

Scandinavia doesn’t allow for assimilation either because they try force it instead of letting happen naturally. Like i said. Four ires who for hundreds of years were xenophobic to their core hav no clue what to do

They assimilate in America just fine. While there are immigrant groups that try very hard to keep their language N(Chinese, Orthodox Jews, Dominicans) for the most by the second generation most immigrants speak English and are members of American society

None of that is true in Europe

Forced assimilation simply means they are not allowed to establish enclaves where they can isolate themselves from the society of the country. But as the Scandinavians have found out, particularly the Swedes, they still don’t assimilate.

Europe also gets a different set of migrants America usually gets. I know some people want to take the view of every culture is equal, but it’s really not true. I would say humans are equal, but where they came from and how they lived as well as the religion they studied does play a part.

They’re not exactly getting a bunch of Latin American immigrants in Europe. A lot of the people who come there, especially from areas in Africa and the Middle East, have lived in areas much different than your average Chinese or people south of the border.

It’s a lot easier for a catholic from Mexico coming here to assimilate than let’s say an Eritrean.

We can’t always just blame the host countries. Whether it is white flight to move to places they want to raise their kids and be around people like them so do many migrants who move to certain parts of cities to be among people like them. That happens in the U.S. as well.

We often hear how a city is very diverse, but when you look at it at a micro level, one sees that the majority are self segregated. It may be more prominent in Europe but it exists here as well.

I still haven’t heard a good argument on why migration needs to be increased with the rise of automation and AI which is already starting the effects of decimating many industries.

One can looks at the Sikhs who more than often assimilate well and cause few problems compared to the immigrants who are in Malmo Sweden.

Don’t know how reputable the source is it is from Iran but it says

The most conservative estimates indicate that at least 2,000 people have been killed over the past 48 hours.

I can post the link but not sure if it violates the board rules it is iranintl

Yes, it sems accurate. There are also reports of a couple IRGC officials who have been killed, burning banks, burning Mosques and burning government buildings. Also, despite the killing, the people are coming to the street again today.

:folded_hands: :folded_hands:

It’s certainly exciting. Hope they can finish the regime off.

That depends on several things.

  1. How long can the people stay in the streets
  2. How long until Pahlavi returns
  3. When and How will Trump act

The people can’t do it alone. If you’ve been watching this you can see, the people are the catalyst, Pahlavi is their hope, and Trump is their champion. Some may not like that, but it is what it is.

Who is Pahlavi exactly? The kid of the old Shah or something?

To be fair being a better leader than the lunatic mullahs isn’t a very high hill to climb.

Probably true but when you see all those old videos of Iran when they were covered in head scarves or burqas and instead wearing skirts that was during the Shaw.

I’m sure he had flaws but he wasn’t hanging gays up cranes and all the other crazy stuff going on since he was overthrown.

His main issue was the secret police disappearing people. But the mullahs do the same thing. So it wasn’t even an upgrade to oust him.

Well that and he blew money Iran didn’t have on state of the art weapons systems like F-14 Tomcats. Not that it matters though since the mullahs have done the exact same thing.

to be fair, the shah didn’t actually run Iran, the prime minister did.
