It's still unproductive. Iran is still an empire.
It's still rules over people, an it still interprets prophetic sovereignty as divine rule sanctified by a spaghetti monster that salts the earth.
If you feel they are wrong, take it up with them, as I am a scholar. Not your muharib.

there was an iranian empire. there is not now an iranian empire. even if the iranian government were aspiring to it, they aren't there. iran rules over people because it is a state.

Imperialism is the maintaining and extending of power over foreign nations

what foreign nations? this singer is iranian!

this singer being fined is bad because that's gendered discrimination. the religion is doing something bad by enforcing this discrimination. you can dislike iran or discrimination or religion or states, whatever, but calling these things imperialist is incorrect. imperialism is bad and gendered discrimination is bad but they are different things. you are using the word wrong and it makes your point unclear. you should fight imperialism done by an imperialist state. you should fight discrimination done by non-imperialist states. you need to know the difference or you'll be fighting shadows.

the threat of assault really went over your head, or do you enjoy Islamic assault?

That's not what imperialism is. Imperialism is a developmental stage of Capitalism that is defined not by the "existence of an empire", but by very specific traits. You're talking nonsense in this entire thread.
