I also don’t get it but people nowadays obsess over the weirdest things.

Well given that there is some relation to Iran, as a government it would help to not force people to wear it anymore.

In terms of European societies it’s a common allegation that women would be forced to wear it but in countries like France, Germany, UK, etc. it’s usually non-Muslim people speaking about this issue but no one actually speaks to Muslim women and asks them what they want.

So it’s not like there’s actual data on this and I doubt that it’s possible to collect reliable data on this issue. IMO a first step would be to work together with Muslim women instead of patronizing them.

Yeah absolutely this. I don’t know how this is confusing to anyone.

Did you like read the article? It’s even in the summary of the original post. She filmed herself ripping off hijabs of women’s heads and then the police was investigating it and then she fucked off to Tel Aviv. I don’t get this thing where people comment without reading the OP, let alone the actual article.

But Brexit was also mainly about immigration and „taking back control“. The tories are pretty damn racist and anti-immigration, not that it makes any sense for an aging population on an isolated island. But their whole campaign was against the EU and against Eastern European immigrants.

The right has normalised an inhumane rhetoric all over Europe in the last 10 years. Politicians have tried to underhand the „concerns“ of citizens, the media has tried to expose the lies of the right wingers, they tried to prove through arguments that they make no sense. It’s all pointless, the right wing is gaining more and more ground even though we all know they’re lying, fear mongering and licking Putins boot.

So now we’re in this fortress called Europe and we’re totally fine with people drowning in the Mediterranean Sea, in the channel, getting beaten up and locked up at EU borders, rotting in Lybian concentration camps run by local warlords, if not being tortured and raped.

I honestly don’t know what else to address in terms of migration. More drownings? More torture? More concentration camps?

My guess is that there’ll be a continued competition over who’s the toughest on migration while our social systems, free speech and eventually democracy as a whole will erode in the background.

What an absurd story. Another nutjob the Palestinians now have to deal with. Will never understand right winger‘s obsession with the hijab.

Like I guess we all agree that it’s terrible to force women to wear something they don’t wanna wear. First of all, how do her actions fix the problem in Iran? This is just anti-Muslim racism.

Then, in the west where stuff like this happens there’s this constant allegation that women would be forced to wear it, which is in most cases wrong and just another angle on anti-Muslim racism. So these anti-hijab people want to then ban hijabs in order to „free“ the women.

It makes no sense to tell women what to wear and what not in order to free them from people allegedly telling them what to wear and what not. No one could ever come up with a coherent explanation when I raised this concern, always just a lot of mental gymnastics. I will never understand why people just don’t let other people be.

Apart from that, being against the Iranian regime is a reasonable take, but wanting back a monarchy instead? Wtf

Okay I couldn’t agree more with that.

It says it’s closed and last posts I see are from like 3 months ago that sub seems pretty dead, am I missing something here?

What do you mean with that? Who do I need to look out for :/

Nah it wasn’t really the funny kind of stuff, like making fun of your neighbors, more like typical 4chan incel kind of racism

I think memes are cool and this one is accurate lol. I’m just hoping this won’t become some right wing community like 2westerneurope4u. Some memes were funny but all the racism and other right wing bullshit made it pretty much unbearable.

Zionists are Nazis and not only do we need to de-colonize Palestine, we also need to de-nazify it. I’m wondering though how to de-nazify a state where almost everyone is complicit in this genocide in some way.
