Iran 💚🕊️🩸
From the blood of our young, tulips have bloomed;
Cypresses bend in grief for figures once as tall as themselves.

My friend. How safe is visiting Iran? What is the situation on the ground?
No one on Earth will be safe as long as governments are competing with one another for power and dominance.
I think things would get a lot worse if they were conspiring with one another for total control of the planet - like the UN looks like it is doing...
And your solution is anarchy? Democratic elected governments are supposed to protect and work in the interest of the less fortunate people. The problem we’re seeing now, and the American government in particular is the result of a large uneducated group of people electing a rich greedy fascist pedofile to run the country - with the only goal to enrich himself - ironically the very problem to why a lot of Americans are struggling today.
> And your solution is anarchy?
Precisely. The State isn't necessary for a healthy and prospering society.

Sounds like an excellent solution. Just worry about yourself. What a terrific society that will be. America is halfway there and it’s I shithole.
"are supposed to"
But never have, so are you going to keep waiting for the glorious day, or start work on something that might work because it doesn't elevate a minority to rule the rest?
The idea that welfare states or socialist-leaning systems “never worked” doesn’t survive even a quick look at history. Many of the most prosperous, stable, and socially mobile societies were built with strong public investment, labor rights, and universal welfare.
* United States (1945–1975) — GI Bill, strong unions, high taxes on the rich → largest middle-class expansion ever
* Sweden (1932–1976) — universal welfare, low inequality, sustained growth
* United Kingdom (1945–1951) — NHS and welfare state laid the foundation for decades of stability
* West Germany (1950s–60s) — social market economy, rapid reconstruction and growth
* Finland (post-WWII) — education-first welfare model, high innovation and living standards
No one on earth is ever completely safe.
What’s your point?
