Isadora Duncan died from strangulation from a scarf while in a car (don’t know the specific circumstances or what kind).

Ouch

Women in industry were not wrapping their scarves around their neck, that was forbidden.

Oh absolutely! But I genuinely enjoy talking about and sharing this stuff :) thank you for the kind words

Thank you for such a nice remark. Sometimes I post videos like this and wonder if it's just coming off as silly. There's so many little things I want to talk about and it's not always a super in depth educational video haha

@@LadyIzdihar Sometimes the best ways to dispel myths about these people is to show the little similarities and differences that make them human too. Never worry about uploading as long as they are this quality haha

just by humanizing ussr people on here, she's already gotten into the terrorist file of the uk intelligence agency aka the cia

"sources used by the west has shown me how much of the formal education on the USSR is complete lies or at least skewed." I moved to Bulgaria 15 years ago and was shocked to realise that everything LITERALLY EVERYTHING I thought I knew was propaganda. And what was really insulting is, it was really lazy propaganda, cos its not like people didnt have criticisms of communism, but they were NOT the ones we were taught about. And YES the vast majority of people had happy fulfilling lives, there was immense variety - just like the west.

⁠@@LadyIzdiharYou could never come of as “silly”. Your more formal education content is engaging enough but it is this more off-the-cuff format is exactly why people are drawn to you, at least it was for me. This is exactly in line with your goal of humanising the USSR and other socialist peoples and you DIY, in-house set-up really helps sell it. It shows how much you really care about what you are doing and why we should. More importantly it helps newbies and novices that you can still be “normal” and be a socialist, it’s no about a “hive-mind” and only having one flavour of toothpaste, there’s still a whole range of human expression, arguably more-so as we won’t be limited by what’s profitable only by what’s conceivable. Please Keep doing what you do and looking most radiant while you do it.

It's that Eastern European peasant blood in me 💀

@@LadyIzdihar Actually I just wondering what your "ethnicity" was guessing Lebanese..?

Mostly Danube Swabian. German minority from former Yugoslavia & Romania. I converted to Islam 10 years ago.

People have been guiding "Lebanese" from the moment I converted tho 🥲 Idk what it is. I'm just a tall white girl with an interesting nose.

@@LadyIzdihar I would never have guessed that, your eyes look so Arab-ic. As others have said, thank you for humanising the people of the USSR. Having lived in Bulgaria 15 years I know know how varied they and their lives were - such a contract to the monoblock of grey misery we were told they endured in the West.

InshaAllah 🙌🏻

I'm so glad! 😀

Well, further proof I don't work in a factory 😭

@@LadyIzdihar hahaha basically you just don't want anything loose hanging off of you. Necklaces, loose sleeves, long hair that isn't secured back, etc. If that stuff gets caught on a drill press it will reel you in like a fishing line. If it's on your head... well you don't want your head getting pulled straight into a sharp, spinning piece of metal.

It's largely historical. The Qur'an does not directly say that women have to veil. The Qur'an just says that all Muslims (regardless of gender) should dress appropriately. When it came to deciding what that meant in practice, early Islamic jurists simply looked to the clothing norms of their own time, place, and culture. At that time, the dominant culture had been heavily influenced by the Byzantines in the West and the Sassanians in the East, both of which had veiling as a cultural norm. By the tenth century or so, it had become well established that women were expected to veil. While most observant Muslims generally hold to those rulings and consider veiling to be appropriate and mandatory, there are some observant Muslims today who argue that Muslims (again, regardless of gender) should not be restricted by tenth century norms based on older Byzantine and Sassanian culture. They may or may not veil depending on what standard of appropriateness they use.

​@@Salsmachev Wow. The actual scripture makes the injunction sound loose and flexible.

@@waltonsmith7210 Yeah, it boils down to something called ijtihad, which is the technical term for a jurist's own independent interpretation and reasoning. Most Muslims tend to hold that ijtihad is closed, meaning that the major issues have already been decided and modern jurists should simply apply the precedents set by jurists in the first few centuries of Islamic jurisprudence (this is called taqlid, or imitation). For them, it isn't flexible because the traditional interpretation is the correct intended meaning of the relevant Qur'anic text. However, there has always been a contingent that considers ijtihad to be open. They generally respect the older jurists as experts, but don't believe that the old interpretations are necessarily correct. For these jurists, rulings need to be based directly on the Qur'an, and not just on a precedent set by older rulings. Some of the people in this category would agree that the Qur'anic language is vague and flexible, and that it should be applied differently in different times/places/cultures. That said, there are also people in this category who are ultraconservative and would turn purple if you said that veiling is not required.

Well I quite like it and have my own personal relationship with it. I don't care what other people do or don't do with their clothing or actions. I only speak about my own experience.

Modesty is absolutely not good for capitalism. Look at the world around us lmao

@@mastachen9392 well that's where double standards come into play. Rich people aren't modest, but they love to preach how money isn't everything and how we should all be modest to regular working people.

It might help if you adjusted your definition of “modesty”. Modesty (in this instance) isn’t synonymous with unostentatious. You can be modest and glam at the same time. The thing that matters most is choice. And sometimes someone’s version of “enjoying life to the maximum” is dressing modestly.

@@SarahWildsmith modesty under the modern capitalist definition is usually a euphemism for poverty, like "You might have no money, but at least you're more modest than your boss with 3 mansions, 20 sports cars and a private jet". And that's what I dislike
