@DeTahmineh Fantastic and insightful. Thank you for writing this

Islam has been so aggressively racialized in Western discourse that many people are no longer capable of looking at it as a religion, ideology, or governing system. Instead, it is treated as a kind of ethnic inheritance—something biologically fused to the people associated with it. This distortion becomes especially obvious in the case of Iran. Iranian civilization did not begin with Islam, and Iranian identity is not reducible to any religion. Yet outsiders routinely speak as though “Iranian” and “Muslim” were naturally synonymous, as if a civilization thousands of years old can simply be collapsed into the religion of foreign people who conquered it after a single battle in 636. That mistake has real consequences. Once Islam is racialized, criticism of Islam is misread as hatred of a people rather than criticism of a doctrine. Resistance to Islamist rule is then treated as identity confusion. Iranian rejection of the Islamic Republic becomes framed as alienation from “their own culture,” when in reality the opposite is often true: the rejection is rooted in the desire to recover what Islamist rule has spent decades degrading, erasing, or subordinating. This is the point many people refuse to confront. Islam—especially in its politicized and totalizing forms—has long existed in tension with Iranian civilizational identity. It imposed itself upon an older language, older memory, and older cultural instincts, and demanded submission not only in matters of worship but in law, dress, speech, art, and the structure of public life. The Islamic Republic sharpened this tension by weaponizing Islam as an instrument of state power—turning it into the vocabulary of humiliation, the architecture of censorship, and the justification for violence. For that reason, it should not surprise anyone that many Iranians are willing to risk their lives resisting Islamist rule. That willingness reflects clarity. People will fight the thing they know is suffocating their nation. They will resist the ideology that has turned beauty into guilt, joy into sin, dissent into heresy, and national life into a hostage chamber. The Western inability to process this stems from deeply flawed intellectual categories. Christianity is treated as theology, liberalism as ideology, nationalism as doctrine, and Marxism as a political project—all open to criticism and blame. But Islam, within this framework, is treated as identity. Once that happens, criticism becomes taboo and the people living under Islamist regimes become analytically invisible. Their resistance cannot be understood because the framework itself is designed to shield the ideology from scrutiny. That is why Iranian people so often break Western narratives. Their experience exposes the central error: Islam is not an ethnicity and it is not the inescapable essence of every society it has ruled. It can be rejected, criticized, and resisted—especially when fused to state power. For many Iranians, Islam is not experienced as sentimental heritage but as conquest extended through law, punishment, and forced piety. It is remembered not as mere faith, but as a structure that has repeatedly demanded the shrinking of Iran into something narrower, sadder, uglier, and more obedient. That is why so many efforts to romanticize Islam as somehow organically identical with Iranian identity ring false, even obscene. They ask a civilization to treat the ideology that has governed and constrained it as the essence of its soul. A serious analysis of Iran requires abandoning these fraudulent categories. Islam must be treated as what it is: a religion, a set of doctrines, and, in many contexts, a political program with concrete consequences for law, liberty, culture, and power. Once that happens, Iranian resistance becomes perfectly intelligible. The Western discourse that claims to value freedom, dissent, and decolonial analysis, yet suddenly goes blind when the object of critique is Islam.

Exactly, how many new jobs and fields will AI open up for the taking? Sure it’s obviously going to doom entire sectors of employment like every major leap in technology has, but the other side of the coin can be true too: we likely can’t even begin to imagine the kinds of jobs this will inevitably launch.

@MattWalshBlog Being a podcaster didn't exist just a generation ago. The programmer who wrote this article - his job (and millions more) didn't exist either. Creative destruction is a virtue of free markets - why resort to knee jerk doomerism?

This is a really good article. AI is going to wipe out millions of jobs. It’s happening now. Everything is changing. The avalanche is already here. Most of what we’re currently arguing about will be irrelevant very soon.

@sappholives83 Definitely deserve a follow for this! Wonderful write up.

To be clear - I don’t mind music in other languages, but I do mind when the Super Bowl halftime show is deliberately politicized and turned into a big ‘fvck you’ to the majority of Americans. Instead of an apolitical celebration of America on her 250th birthday, the halftime show pandered to leftists (and illegal immigrants) with an incomprehensible, unmusical, off key “song,” a parade of flags from Spanish-speaking countries, and a montage of Latin stereotypes that had absolutely nothing to do with either America or the majority of Americans. This was the 60th Super Bowl, held during our 250th year. The halftime show should have been a genuinely inclusive celebration of America that resonated with all of us, not an exclusionary rip off from “Guys and Dolls” that was specifically aimed at pissing people off. The show was deliberately partisan and antagonistic, and I can only hope that Americans will realize that the NFL has nothing but contempt for this country and its people.

@madrid_mike 🙄 guh-aaaaaay

Bad Bunny didn’t just ask for a seat at the table. He flipped it over and brought in a bigger one. A new America is emerging with a more expansive view of patriotism, love of country and Americanness. It’s coming! It’s here! Whether you like it or not.

@itsbogsbody @PerryALPHA @grok which countries teach the 7 continent model?

@PerryALPHA Most American take ive ever heard. No one outside of the US considers “America” as ONLY the US.

Bad Bunny said "God Bless America" then listed off every Latin American country because he was doing that "ackshually America is a continent not a country" thing that woke Hispanics say

@feruzumaki12 @PerryALPHA @grok There is no scientific definition for “continent”?

@feruzumaki12 @PerryALPHA @grok @grok how can anyone with eyes and a brain justify combining North America and South America into a single continent?

You may not be woke but you’re retarded; the Super Bowl takes place in America, a country that officially identifies 7 continents, including North America and South America as separate landmasses. There is no continent called “America.” If you want to push that model, start your own NFL.

@PerryALPHA Well bitch I'm not woke and they are right America is the continent. Learn Geography

@christi30048233 @CapraFalconeri9 @ctate1906 @PerryALPHA Ackshually it’s technically “the Americas”

@CapraFalconeri9 @ctate1906 @PerryALPHA Correct. We often use it to refer to the united states, but technically the whole continent (or two continents) is America.

@Deni87292790637 @PerryALPHA I am absolutely shocked how many people on X believe that North America and South America make up a single continent named America. No wonder our world is in such disarray everyone’s a retard now.

@PerryALPHA It's not a "woke hispanic" thing, for everyone outside of US and Canadá America is a single continent.
