    This is Iran in the 1970s, before the US started providing weapons, training, and funding to groups like literally the Taliban.

      Wow, I’ve never seen this before. I don’t mean this in a derogatory way or anything, but they look like people.

        It’s why iran has so many educated women and is weirdly technologically powerful for a theocratic regime. Iran in the 70s was modern. Inshallah the people of iran will be freed from the tyranny of theocracy.

        But yeah, iran is what should scare you the most because their collapse was fast and unexpected.

        They still are, they’re just people that are repressed by a theocracy now.

          Yeah, I know I just mean to say that nowadays they’ve had all of their humanity stripped away, they look more like machines than they do people.
