Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.
You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.
“The world is not divided between East and West You are American, I am Iranian. We do not know each other, vet we can talk and understand one another perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much greater than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much greater than the difference between me and you. Our governments, however, are very much the same.”
- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian graphic novelist
Marjane Satrapi is an Iranian-born graphic novelist, illustrator, and filmmaker widely recognized for her acclaimed autobiographical graphic memoir, Persepolis.
Born in 1969 in Rasht and raised in Tehran, she came of age during the dramatic events of the 1979 Iranian Revolution and the ensuing Iran-Iraq War. As a teenager, she moved to Vienna to continue her education, an experience marked by cultural adjustment, isolation, and questions of identity.
These formative years became the foundation for Persepolis, first published in 2000. The memoir chronicles her childhood in revolutionary Iran and her adolescence in Europe, offering a deeply personal perspective on political upheaval, family life, and the search for belonging. The book earned international praise and introduced many readers around the world to the realities of everyday life in Iran during a turbulent era.
Satrapi later co-directed the 2007 animated film adaptation, Persepolis, which received the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and earned a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
Salute to the American who witnessed a ceremony of white supremacists traitors attempting to venerate their long dead, loser confederate ancestors on Memorial Day. A day created to commemorate the Black American soldiers who so ceremoniously handed them the glorious defeat. He acted accordingly, despite the race soldiers inteference. Well done young man.
To be clear: if a synagogue had been attacked and Jews murdered and then a top ally to Biden said the synagogue was ‘evil’ and all the Jews should be deported, and then got a birthday card two days later from Biden praising her, it would be the biggest story/scandal in America.
