He was imprisoned in Iran, then went to Turkey and from there to Iraq iirc, but it is long ago, so I suspect the GP meant after he was arrested by the Shah.
When Trump talks about rules, laws, and order it’s in the “L'État, c'est moi” (the state is me) sense. I.e. following the law means following his whims.
I've begun to call it (in my own head) "pessimissivism", a fatal combination of being pessimistic and dismissive. It can't be unique to HN, but I find it particularly jarring that it has taken root here, given the optimistic and open-minded origins of this forum.

Value investing a la Buffett and Munger is certainly not how we got 2008. Quite the opposite. In fact they were some of the most prominent individuals before 2008 outspoken about the risks of the derivatives that led to 2008, calling them "financial weapons of mass destruction".

In fact, Haskell then allows you to add back in runtime types using Typeable!
As someone with no dog in this race, I’m genuinely struggling to distinguish folks calling for a global intifada and railing against Zionists from anti-Semites. Particularly when they blame—to the point of dismissal—rising anti-Semitism (like, block or shoot up a synagogue anti-Semitism) on Israel.
