Iran is a primitive society based on superstition and where 1500 year old barbaric laws are upheld.
The same goes for all other countries that use Sharia law or other laws based on superstition or tradition.
*a primitive regime.
The society is much more complex than this.
Doesn’t change the fact that the society has laws build on ancient superstition without reason.
A society build on primitives rules that follow such rules is primitive per definition.
Because the practice of such primitive laws guide all activity in a society.
What about death penalty to the victim is not primitive and barbaric?
How is a society that execute primitive barbaric laws not primitive?
Is it because they can make nice cookies?
How does this complexity you mention change that it is a primitive society?
Is it because it is not PC to call a culture primitive? Because then I’ve got news for you, some cultures are very obviously more primitive than others.
Let me choose the most modern laws where you get death sentence by a white cop because you are black. Or the laws that looks at a genocide and then decide to send more weapon to the one who is committing the genocide killing at least 70k people mostly women and children that you pretend to care about.
You can disagree with laws, but claiming they are “primitive” and “barbaric laws” is a stupid, racist, and ignorant statement.
That’s a lot of words for “shithole”
