the Iranian exiles that fled after the overthrow of the Shah, tend to be part of the old ruling class that had disempowered.
And the people stuck behind are the people who don’t view the regime as legitimate in this article.
Let’s look at your 3 criteria one by one:
or internal support
The regime is definitely illegitimate in eyes of the people, as proven by the fact that most people stayed away from the sham election where their only choices was between archconservatives and reactionaries.
the context of international relations,
The US has had no diplomatic relations with Iran since 1979 and does not recognize that regime as legitimate.
and control.
Yes they do control people. With torture and murder. But torture and murder is not really viewed as a legitimate way for countries to control their population.
The Supreme Dictator regime is in most ways worse than the Shah. The Shah didn’t make women wear ridiculous clothes and arrest people for making dancing videos about being happy.
He failed to legitimize the government that has been ruling the country since 1979…?
The monarchy system of the Shah lasted 2500 years. Not sure what the point it.
You don’t have to support theocracy to recognize the absurdity of claiming that a government that’s been in charge for 50 years, and is recognized around the world, is somehow illegitimate.
It is illegitimate as a democracy and government that represents its own people. People are protesting the fakeness of the election by not voting.
If the distribution of those nine satellite galaxies across the entire Milky Way is similar to what was found in the footprint captured by the HSC-SSP, the research team calculates that there actually may be closer to 500 satellite galaxies
WTF? I was thinking there were around a dozen or so.
So like Poland was the worst country in Europe to live in at the start of WW2. Not because Poland was bad but because Germany and Russia were bad and would both soon be just as bad to live in as Poland.
Nobody’s average soldier age is 45. Has nothing to do NK being rock bottom in country rankings. And the younger you are in NK, the more you are probably screwed.
Considering that North Korea is literally the worse country in the world to live it, this is super likely to be an attractive offer.
The Neo-Nazis are in Russia working with NK.
The Axis of Evil
Treason Trump - War Criminal Putin - Caligula Jong Un - Comrade Xi
What can “the west” really do to prevent or stop troops from NK being sent to the Ukraine front?
Drop leaflets on them inviting them to surrender and upgrade their lives to South Korean national.
But man, it really is starting to look like WW3
It looks more like Crimean War II to me.
Maybe go ahead and plan to build a large camp for malnourished people.
Or just invite the South Korean government to send agents to Ukraine to invite them all to South Korea.
Russia gets malnourished and untrained Korean conscripts.
Just offer them all plane tickets to South Korea. Problem solved.
Ethan Seigel never does "clickbait’ articles. He does 100% educational articles. I actually didn’t know more than half of these things. Who the hell knew that Earth does not have the most water in the solar system?
When I tried to ballpark it looking at my starships poster they seemed like they might be about the same. But you could be right, the Breen Dreadnaught could be certainly be the bigger ship.
Perhaps the dems should ask themselves why mandatory purchasing of insurance was the pinnacle of their accomplishment in the last 40 years and attempt to examine that.
It was not. Getting health insurance for an additional 30 million Americans was.
But sure fully embracing racial taxonomy and spending as much time as possible classifying people based on skin-tone, facial features, phenotypes, skull shape and literally anything besides class might work too.
Nope. That is just some idiot media pundit nonsense. Not so be taken seriously.
Most of them are with Trump, and that’s not going to change
This article is completely wrong. Why would white people be okay with Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump destroying the democracy that white people created? If Hillary Clinton had had a few grisly bikers mixed into the Muslim women behind her in crowds she would have beat Treason Trump in 2016. Dems need to take a lesson from Bernie Sanders and focus on things that all Americans want to see. Rejecting the majority would be the dumbest idea ever.
but that fourth season was so damn good.
It was the best seaon of any Trek ever IMO.
Thanks for calling this out. I will stop posting content to lemmy.ml. What is the next best alternative to lemmy.world? I have nothing against lemmy.world, but would like to spread out content to different sites.
Because the media didn’t report it much.
