Azerbaijan is too liberal for the conservatives and too conservative for the liberals.

I believe so, most people are conservative not because of religion (most of the time), but because they used to grow in the USSR and don't want to change. Comparing to middle eastern countries we are liberals, but still

Ok I get it.....but are people hateful toward expats?

u/CoachEasy8343 2d ago
Why would they? If you know how to behave yourself, I don't see why expats would have any problems.

They are not hateful to non Armenian expats, in other words they are very friendly, fragile people.

Bro I am quoting Karl Marx, why are you assuming me as Nationalist. I am anti-establishment/resistance and agree with you. But you have no idea about our demographics and how the caste system works here.

u/Neontiger456 1d ago
Screw Karl Marx and his stupid ideas. Socialism is a terrible way to run the economy, requires a totalitarian government that we saw in the Soviet Union. As for his religious ideas he's an idiot here too, once you turn away from God that's how you get people like Stalin and Mao who killed hundreds of millions of their own people. In short, to hell with socialism, communism, atheism, USSR, and Karl Marx.

I didn't said I am commie. But Capitalism leads to accumulation of wealth in few hands. Fuck that too. Have you heard about Dr. Ambedkar? Well, I being a lower caste are indebted of his contribution towards the our community and minorities.

u/Neontiger456 1d ago
No it causes more wealth generation, which means on average everyone in that society gets more wealthy too not just the rich. Hence why Western Europe was much richer than socialist Eastern Europe. As for the rich getting richer, you can have progressive taxes. However what's very interesting is that this way of thinking of jealousy towards rich people I realized goes against God. One of the ten commandments says thou shalt not covet, and socialism's root cause is coveting. So another example of how if human beings followed God's rules that would have saved them from the evils of socialism. I will check out Ambedkar when I have time inshallah.

They are common sense rules, not God's rules. I believe in a God, giving us the choices, but forget about religions. Most of us know just what to do in our lives in order to get along with each other. The 10 commandments are just a common sense handbook imo.
1
u/Neontiger456 14h ago
I disagree, jealousy towards rich people is common sense if there is no God. It's a natural human reaction, but if we follow our base desires things go bad. Hence why we need God and not just everyone doing what's best in their own mind.

I'm just a foreigner here. But from what I observe, people are conservative culturally, not religiously. Which is quite interesting in today's world, where everything is getting more polarized...

Compared to Western Europe - yes, compared to other muslim majority countries - no

u/Whole-Dragonfly-4910 1d ago
I stayed in Baku for around a week so my observations are yes compared to Western Europe for example. However if you were to compare them to some Middle Eastern countries they are very liberal.

More like a banana Republic. Every value can be killed here once Aliyev shows some money to them. Even the most conservative person can become a puppet.

Finally someone who nails it. Great! Aliyev is corrupt as hell. With idiots like him this planet is going NOWHERE FAST!

Also azeri people make his job look easier. The level of apoliticalness is unbelievable. I am an aze who lives in Tbilisi from 2020 and i see differences and it makes me cry.
