Parastoo Ahmadi sang while wearing a sleeveless dress during a concert livestreamed on her YouTube channel in December 2024. Iran’s laws ban public performances by women and require them to wear headscarves and modest clothing.

Iran’s judiciary launched proceedings against the 29-year-old after the video went viral, gaining millions of views, saying the performance was “in violation of the country’s legal and cultural regulations”.

    the white man’s burden doctrine seriously needs to be _____

    There’s supposed to be a verb after that.

    Also, I have no idea what the fuck you’re trying to prove with those three paragraphs, since they don’t even mention ordinary Japanese citizens once. Remember, the argument you’re trying to prove is that ordinary Japanese citizens would not have fared worse if the US hadn’t helped Japan rebuild and transition to democracy after WWII.

      Shared verb. The topic you took issue with was the Marshall Plan. Are you high?

        Oh, so you were trying to address the part about Germany, not Japan. I assumed the latter because I didn’t expect you to go back to item one after starting to respond to item 2.

        It also didn’t help that your three paragraphs didn’t have anything to say about ordinary German citizens either.
