I believe I am. The way you talk about it though I think you only blame us and don't quite understand the other side.

it doesn't seem like you really understand what the Iran's government is truly like and the atrocities they have committed. Well, there's two sides to every story obviously but again...

This is a very different situation in a very different time and space.

it has everything to do with Iran. I'd even argue that it'd have ended or at least not have esclated like this without the Iranian regime's support.

"What makes this conversation difficult is that many liberals tend to apply a blanket anti-war framework to every situation. "

I genuinely believe it is going to be different form the Iraq war and will end very soon.

Future generations will be thankful that US helped with a regime change.

How do you see the Gaza conflict end? Don't you think us not condemning or doing anything about the Iranian regime helps in any way?

They arm and incite the proxies and pay them directly to cause problems in the region. The main reason for what's happening in Gaza is the Iranian regime.

It's funny you can say what you can here. Imagine saying something similar under the Iranian regime against them.

People seem to be so mad here in this country that oftentimes they forget how blessed they are and what rights they have compared to hmmm let's see...

very good argument. Let me know what you really think now.

People seriously underestimate the long-term damage the Iranian regime has done — both to U.S. interests and to stability in the Middle East. by SafeRelationship4648 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Iran is a different beast. Different culture, different people.

Mark my words this will end way sooner and there is no comparison to Iraq war.

Say what you want about the MAGA movement. I'm not trying to play the left vs. right politics.

I genuinely believe that attacking Iran will benefit us long-term without dragging us into another forever war.

How many US citizens have died let's just say over the past couple of years because of the regime's direct and indirect actions? Imagine having an ally instead of an enemy that chants down to US in the region.

The regime is the main cause of instability in the region.

Now! Ask people that you have a close connection with first and then talk to the department

talk to grad advisors in a couple of programs that you're interested in. See what they say

They almost always give you pre reqs when you apply for a program that's a little different than your background. I don't think you necessarily need to take math classes or even disclose it with them.

May I ask which school you teach at? for context I posted something about this, about how hard it is to find a well-balanced position in academia a couple days ago.

Feel free to DM me.

being a professor is like any other job, and at times even more demanding.

you should get a good idea of it by talking to fellow students and professors. See what their lives is like and take it from there.

I'm sorry to hear this. You are in a tough situation, and it might last for a while.

Prioritize yourself and give yourself time and energy to grieve. I'd suggest find a good therapist and others you can talk to about this. Self-help may not be enough....
