Change imposed by force never works. Iranian people need to overwhelmingly decide to do it. Providing help is fine, but bombing them into "freedom" never works. It actually has the opposite effect, when you feel in danger (because for example bombs are falling around you) you'll less likely to start a revolution.

People from some cultures (typically those where Islam is dominant, but not exclusively) are more prone to behavior like this. Probably due to a system of values they have adopted in their environment and upbringing.
Call it Islamophobia or something else it does lend itself to the idea that some people should be regarded with more default suspicion than others, based on their origins. As long as each individual is treated as just that - individual, and not blamed for the crimes of others, a higher base level of suspicion is unfortunate but a normal human reaction that shouldn't be treated as some kind of horrible sin.

Sentencing to long prison sentences should be avoided. There should be two general categories:

  • danger to others
  • not danger to others

In the danger case the sentenced should be kept imprisoned until proven safe, otherwise only a light deterrent is needed.

There isn't much difference in the deterrence between 1 year and 10 years for most people. The really violent crimes are committed either without regard for oneself, or as a part of organization that already has a support system inside the prison.

Structured way of spending a lot of time in the same environment with other people with similar goals. "Go out on your own and make friends" doesn't work for many of us, additional free time will not help.
There's a good reason most people make long-term friendships in school and university, we need a similar space where we are surrounded by the same people every day (even though we may not like all of them). I have no idea what could it be since our society frowns upon such ideas.

Before Covid the office kinda took this role, however it was a gamble and not voluntary.

All of them 1!1!1! It's all connected.

This is called a cooperative

Except not just control but ownership too, there is no division between owner and employee.

And yes I agree with you, it would be a good idea. The economic system I advocate for the most is cooperatives in a free market.

Is Jesus half-human half-god, or full-human and full-god at the same time? And in the second case is his humanity and divinity separate in one person or one thing that is inseparable? Careful the wrong answer will cost you your life ...

Um, why would they attack a prison? People locked up there are presumably not friends with the Iranian government, and it's not a likely place to keep any military supplies.

Found out about the concert when I tried to visit the Olympic stadium and it was closed for visitors 🙂
