    iranians are some of the most pro-west and progressive people i know, i support them

    idk why some progressives hate them, probably because they are staunchly critical of islam?

      Maybe the ones you know. It’s disingenuous to say that about all of Iran, because there are plenty of hard-liners in Iran too.

      You’re going to struggle to find a critic of Iran that actually knows anything about Iran.

      Just fuck with them, like, “Yeah! If only they were more like the Persians.”
