The answer is not that complicated: Iranians are highly educated. And I’m not just talking about formal education (which many Westerners have), I mean on an everyday societal level. Iranian TV and radio are full of intellectual religious/philosophical debates and discussions, history, classical music, poetry readings, and so on. Iranians value literature and the arts, and they inherit thousands of years of civilisation, not just found in beautiful historic palaces and mosques, but also in their own homes, from hand-knotted rugs to intricate marquetry and ceramics.

Of course, not everything in Iran is so highbrow, but contrast that with the constant slop and brain-rot that Westerners consume daily, from late night talk shows to other types of filler programming, and the revulsion that Westerners display towards anything that isn’t mass-produced, monotonous capitalist junk. No doubt, there is cultural programming in the West, too, and – especially in Europe rather than the US – there are traditional crafts that are valued, but these no longer percolate widely on a cultural level. They are mostly dead and the reserve of older generations and the ‘eccentric’ (as they are viewed).

Ultimately, these societies and cultures are not the same.

Many of today’s Iranian politicians are also veterans of the Iran-Iraq War, and they have lived through severe difficulties in their lives. They are not like the pampered career politicians you find in the West.

Isn't it interesting how quickly the citizens of Israel reach for their European/US passports and flee the country "God gave them," while Palestinians continue to live and rebuild their land, water their olive trees, no matter the scale of destruction.

Yall really needa stop calling Israel a country. It's an illegal colonial terrorist state. They hold no right to the Palestinian land they're occupying. Stop giving them false legitimacy.

You should be forced to confront the consequences of your comfort MORE often, not less. You should be forced to see the blood that soaks every inch of your clothes, every pore of your skin in your beauty products, every micron of your phone; you are dripping with gore

in America you need less evidence to kill thousands of Muslims than to arrest one member of an international sex trafficking ring
