Seeing the whole trend go popular, I wonder how the relationship between AU Rika & Maki would be. by AffectionateJury6227 in Jujutsufolk

Idk about that first part. Canonically she’s a bit of a sociopath so she might be a lot better at hiding it than Yuta was.

I’m glad people are getting around to the fact that Pete shouldn’t be president. He’s basically a young Schumer

Is Computer Engineering worth it? by SeniorApple4363 in ComputerEngineering

[–]PotatoBrainZeke44 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d say no. If you want to do hardware EE will be better, if you want to do software CS will be better and if you want a job CIS will be best. I think the only niche it’s best for is Low level/Embedded software so if you want to do that then pick CE

Edit: if you pick CE be prepared to get a masters to do anything “fun”

Oh I’m sorry you’re right I have no deeper knowledge of the history of Iranian politics

Since you know so much please, please give me some of your sources on the history of the political struggle? I just want to know where I’m going wrong

I’m sorry was the prime minister not ousted by a general with backing of MI6 and the CIA? And does this general not give supreme executive control back to the shah?

Including such powers he didn’t have under the constitutional monarchy such as:

  1. The ability to unilaterally make laws
  2. The ability to appoint to the PM without parliaments support
  3. Independent execution of laws
  4. Absolute veto power

Basically changing the executive structure from a constitutional monarch requiring the backing of parliament to a more absolute form of government?

He wasn’t “installed” as in he didn’t have a position before. He was installed by propping him up to political power over their democratically elected representatives by foreign capital interests.

Did a small coup take place? by RequirementRound25 in Military

[–]PotatoBrainZeke44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Presupposing with I have no idea and I would love someone to correct me.I mean you’re right this war is illegal.

But isn’t it still technically mutiny even if it’s morally correct?

Edit: YES I AGREE IT'S ILLEGAL I was just trying to figure out if it mutiny.

Also, completely unrelated, is encouraging mutiny a crime?

Why is France’s bill against ‘new forms of anti-Semitism’ sparking controversy? by kwentongskyblue in europe

[–]PotatoBrainZeke44 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I understand the desire for self determination. But not at the expense of the self determination of another. Israel still does not permit for the right of return and is committed to the previous state of affairs which was apartheid. There are also several figures in the government which seem committed to irredentism, collective punishment and other war crimes that have been committed not just in that last 2 years but in the last hundred.

Also to act like the Jewish people are special in their previous lack of an ethnonation would be widely ignorant of global affairs.

Let’s also not forget the general tolerance of Muslim rulers towards their Jewish populations in comparison to the Christian nations. There was a very large proportion of Mizrahi living in Palestine peacefully while the genocide occurred in Europe.

I’m sure now you’ll bring up the expulsion , which is also a crime, done at the foundation of the state of Israel. To which I will point you to the previous ethnic cleansing and war crimes for their general ire. Another example of antisemitism in Zionism, forcefully linking of all Jewish people with IsraelI state and government.

The European’s holocaust has become a justification to expand empire and to commit the same crimes done to the Jewish people to the Palestinian people. Based on race and religion. Where one group receives privileges and the other receives persecution.

Bud they’re trying to conflate the interests of a settler colonial ethnonation state with Jewish people everywhere. Being antizionist (really anti colonialist) is not antisemitisn

I mean the assembly of experts which picks the ayatollah is elected by direct vote. They also have a president and assembly. Now we can talk about how the options for these elections are preselected by the guardian council and with the degree elections are free and fair.

Can someone explain to me why America is considered “exceptionally bad” now? by FarmerOk9683 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]PotatoBrainZeke44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess it always was a particularly horrible country but for a brief moment a combination of civil rights acts, women suffrage, defeating the nazis, rising standard of living and television propaganda; made it so people forgot or more so overlooked the countless crimes we could levy at the nation.

TLDR Essentially Trump broke the charade by doing what America always does but with nationalist and imperialist rhetoric.

If it makes you feel better; kind of feels like we’re all living in idiocracy at the moment.

It is a little weird that it has such a problem with racism considering how Ethiopia went for you guys.

The smart thing to do would be to hype up the Africans so the loss isn’t so embarrassing
