The emigration of hard working, law-abiding people seems like a win-win situation. But circumstances like this suggest the issue may be a bit more complex: https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/12/europe/amsterdam-riot-police-soccer-violence-intl/index.html

Those were not Iranians...

BTW The events in Amsterdam were grossly misrepresented in most media:

The fans of Maccabi Tel-Aviv were chanting anti-Arab lyrics, pulling down Palestinian flags and molesting people before they were attacked. "Fuck the Arabs" was one of their more savoury chants. Clearly they provoked the violence against them.

It is striking how on videos the Maccabi fans are indistinguisable from the Muslim youth (mainly Morroccans I imagine) they clashed with in looks, clothing and attitude.

I am opposed to Muslim immigration to the Netherlands so I fell for this story at first because it confirmed my fears. Finding more information changed my mind.

To call this event a pogrom (as many media have done) is completely ridiculous.

The attacks on Jews started 24 hours before any incident with the Maccabis. It was a premeditated pogrom:

Evil rightoids would much rather spend trillions on the MIC and bombing hostile countries than earning trillions of dollars through brain drain and hollowing them out in the process.

Bombing hostile countries is a good thing. If we'd bombed Russian troops in '08 when they invaded Georgia, we would've averted the entire Ukranian War, as well as who knows how much Putinist bloodshed elsewhere. We'd also have been far less likely to see the Taiwanese War that inevitably waits us in the Second Trump Administration, which will be even more violent and destructive, especially if it happens in tandem with a rekindlingnof the Korean War.

We are stronger because we're freer, richer, and better at making use of our intellectual capital. All of that will be worthless if we continuously show weakness in the face of hostile foreign powers, and we'll fall to the same Khaldunist cycle that consumed every civilized corner of the pre-modern Ummah to mounted barbarians. It's irresponsible to assume we'll just get lucky again like we did during the First Cold War, especially since so many tens of millions of deaths could have been avoided id we showed the barest more initiative at numerous earlier points.

There are no right, left, Nazis, communists, religious leaders, they are all thieves, crooks and murderers. All parties in the world were created for only two purposes. The first is to zombify the population with false narratives necessary to deceive the majority for the purpose of profit. The second goal is to seize power in the state and provide for oneself and posterity for 10 generations to come. Politicians are representatives of the world of dishonest and heartless people and trusting such individuals to lead society is absurd and stupid. Parties were invented and created in ancient times by bandits to organize pseudo elections in a previously captured city. The state, parties, patriarchy, taxes, armies, wars - all this was invented and organized by bandits and this fact has long been studied and proven by many scientific researchers, starting with Franz Oppenheimer and the work - 'The State'. If humanity wants to live rationally and fairly, it must refuse to elect thieves and swindlers, and revise the rules for holding elections through a general referendum. According to the new rules, power must be elected either by lottery or through preliminary testing of candidates. Of course, other options for electing honest and intelligent people are possible, and all this is decided through a national discussion at a referendum. It is time to remove political parties, public and religious organizations from participating in elections, we do not need thieves and heartless swindlers as managers of society. Thieves and swindlers belong in prison, not among leaders and teachers. Humanity is zombified by various kinds of useless attitudes, such as sports, travel, the eternal search for love and blissful emotions. Humanity lives incorrectly, incorrectly raises offspring, not fully realizing the absurdity and irrationality of the surrounding reality. That is why the main problem of our world is total ignorance and refusal of knowledge, if it does not bring immediate benefit. The main task and duty of all intellectuals of the world is to expose the absurdity and deception coming from propagandists-politicians, as well as the norms and foundations accepted by people, at the instigation of bandits and thieves, over the past 6 thousand years. That is how many years the majority has been the injured and disenfranchised party with no chance to change their lives for the rational and better.

The irony of this quote is that Khomeini himself had fled to France, whence he incited a revolution against the Shah.
