I’m at that weird age where every younger person I meet makes me realize how much l've aged, and every older person I meet makes me realize I'm still a baby.
She couldn’t anticipate that western communists would suddenly become ultra dickriding supporters of the anti communist theocratic regime that purged iranian communists.
Acusar a Persépolis de islamofobia por criticar una teocracia extremista es exactamente lo mismo que hace un zionista acusando de antisemita a quienes critican los crímenes de Israel

Vean Persépolis porque es una obra esencial de la animación. Pero no la vean convencidos de que dice la verdad. Satrapi (el equivalente a un emigrado gusano latinoamericano) pintó un Irán patriarcal y opresor, cuando es todo lo contrario: en la República Islámica la mujer puede divorciarse, conducir coches, tener propiedades, estudiar una carrera universitaria y ejercer su profesión. Satrapi idealizó los tiempos de la monarquía, cuando solo la clase urbana burguesa (la suya) prosperaba, mientras la gente en el interior del país vivían en la miseria.
