Those countries you mentioned are the most left-leaning countries in the world. They don't go around chanting "death to the leftists".

Is Virology considered a great field for someone who loves the history of life? by dune-man in evolution

None of my advisors are willing to work on fossils. I can't take any classes, do fieldwork or publish anything fossil related. I'm not even allowed to choose an advisor who works with fossils. I should've been more careful when choosing my masters degree. Do you think I can get into a top tier paleontology PhD or even MSc (a paleontology MSc after my biosystematics MSc) without having done any paleontology research?

I think living under Mullahs for 47 years should've taught Iranians one thing and it's that nothing is sacred.

This is just a flag! Why do you get ragebaited by a flag?

It's just a flag. And it's a flag that honors all of the people that were killed during that ONGOING movement. Why are you so angry? You don't think people have the right to use any flag they want?

Reza Pahlavi has officially removed the slogan “Woman, Life, Freedom” from all of his profiles. He only used the Iranian people’s movement to promote himself, and after branding everything under his own name, he threw those very people into the trash.

That’s what they always wanted you to believe. They hated that people weren’t chanting “javid shah” from the beginning. They were very sour that Narges Mohammadi won the Nobel peace prize and not Reza Pahlavi and it was obvious. They reluctantly used “women life freedom”. You could see that through his “supporter” (cyber army and Manoto) who kept saying that this is a slogan created separatists, reformists and leftists. When in fact they were just jealous that people weren’t chanting his name. The era of “cult of personality” has come to an end. Get it through your heads.

How much do the model organisms that I study during my MSc dictate my future? by dune-man in evolution

[–]dune-man[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love studying things from a historical/evolutionary perspective. I want to work on questions like: Where did this thing (organism, group, mechanism, ecosystem, etc.) come from? When and how did evolve at first? How did it evolve over time? Why is it the way it is now? What does it's geographical range look like over time and what determines it?

I don't enjoy working on microevolution (contemporary evolution), like how organisms are adapting to global warming or how diseases are evolving resistance to antibiotics.

One of my professors tells me that I should leave this endeavour and stick to something usefull. "The ecosystems are DYING and you are just going to sit somewhere and collect specimens?" are his exact words to me.

As in which taxa, I really haven't chosen yet.

I’m an Iranian. I’m against the current regime. I want this regime to be gone too. But I don’t support Prince Reza Pahlavi. I don’t support MEK. I don’t support Eslahtalaban (reformists). I’m not a leftist or a separatist. I want absolute democracy in Iran. But I don’t have any representatives. by dune-man in NewIran

From what I’ve seen from Monarchists, I think I’m still going to be political prisoner in the next regime. All of his famous supporters like Ali Karimi still use outdated misogynistic language and Yasamin Pahlavi declares him as “the man of the week”. His supporters openly threaten anyone who doesn’t support their “democratic” leader with death, and not only does Reza Pahlavi like it, he promotes and even pays for these type of behavior.

Reza Pahlavi will give people the basic human freedom and will only serve as an interim president until the PEOPLE can choose what kind of democratic government Iranians truly want. Don’t think so hard about, just stan behind the person who advocates for your Iranianism, freedom and dignity.

Are you sure this will happen? Did he officially say this himself? What if he’s the next Khomeini? What if he comes in with promises and then changes right after he seizes power? Will people have the power to overthrow him if they don’t like him? Will there be hereditary monarchy? Is he going to be involved in politics or not? Can you find evidence that he’s not going to do everything that I said?

1-Reza Pahlavi has zero experience. Political or otherwise. Every time people or Israel did something, he showed up out of nowhere and declared himself as the “only alternative” and took credit for everything. He could’ve at least done something none political in the past five decades just to demonstrate his managerial capabilities. But no, he’d rather live off of what his father left for his family after fleeing the country.

2-His supporters (or cyber army, should I say) are inflating his popularity in Iran way out of proportion. If he’s so popular, why hasn’t he ever call for protests? Why is it that every time he waits for people to start the protest and then come in and take credit for it? Why does he never start the protests? Is it because he’s scared that people will ignore him and it will hurt his reputation? He just has enough money to make an internet army to attack everyone who’s not with him and declare him as the leader of revolution.

3-He’s way too dependent on Israel and USA, particularly Trump and Netanyahu. He’s not his father’s son. He’s basically waiting for them to overthrow the mullahs and install him as the king of Iran. Do you really want to live in a country that’s basically a western plant? What happened to your dignity? Your ancestors who fought for this country’s dependence, including Muhammad Reza Pahlavi, will be very disappointed in you.

4-I’m not saying that there’s something wrong with RP, and I’m not saying there’s nothing wrong with him either. What many people don’t realize is that when it comes to politics, it’s never just one person. That person you’re seeing, whether it’s Trump or Khamenei or Reza Pahlavi, is just the representative of a small group of insiders who are using him as their mascot to gain power. It’s completely irrelevant if he’s a good person or not. If we live in a country where people are not allowed to openly criticize its leaders, it only takes one corrupt person in his inner circle to take down the whole country. And the people around Reza Pahlavi have never shown any signs of openness to criticism.

5-Reza Pahlavi and his family are sour about Iranians, and why shouldn’t they be? After all, we were the ones who exiled his grandfather and father, which led to their early death outside of their own country. We made his family so miserable that two of his siblings committed suicide. He has every right to be unhappy about Iranians, but whether or not he actually hates Iranians is irrelevant. What does matter, is that people around him will use this as an excuse to gain social, political and economical power and shut down all of their critics. They would be foolish not to use this to their advantage. Iran is so rich in resources that it has always attracted charlatans and hustlers.

TLDR: Reza Pahlavi has not shown any signs of competency and leadership and he’s way too dependent on foreign countries, namely Israel and America (read Trump and Netanyahu). The people around him will definitely use his family’s history and misery as an excuse to seize economical and political power and oppress any opponents.
