Oh man can we start a thread of discussion I have so many questions. If it is cool we can PM each other if you don’t want it public. But just want your ok first. Let me know. Also what are you into?

Why does it seem like Iran is a very controlling country? Like I always wanted to visit but when they started arresting american’s and such for being spies, gave me a second thought? How come every protest they put down by force? Was there any mutual respect once the Shah ended his reign? How does one justify a so called “terrorist” (I am an American so please forgive) getting so much money? Is it like the US where we have bases and such all over the world, and Iran’s are just centralized in a couple areas? How come Iran was willing to help US after 911 but pretty much went back to wanting to kill all of us? I don’t hold anything against Iranians btw so if my questions seem to have a slant toward them I don’t mean for them to. Thanks for answering ahead of time. Can I ask more?

It seems they are controlling because they are, they don’t mind murdering a million people if they don’t lose their power and please don’t visit iran ever until theres another revolution, there was some respect towards the shah when he ended his reign because he didn’t do that violent of a crackdown but the islamic revolutionaries absolutely vandalized the country and hated the shah, we don’t justify when they get money, here inside iran we were pissed when the MoU was signed and that it gives money and lifts some sanctions, after 911 they just did that for a PR move to hide themselves being islamist extremists too, yeah you can ask more and i will answer if i have time.

What is it like being a young person in Iran? In the states and other countries people act out when hitting puberty, very anti authority. Is it the same in Iran? How do you act out if you can? Are you male or female (if you don’t mind me asking)? Are you ever worried they are watching where you go on the web and what sites? How do they consider sites that go against them? Like if you looked up something about drinking alcohol, do you get put on a list or something? Is any person from a western country wants to visit will they automatically tag you as a spy and you disappear? Why did the protests stop that you had not to long ago that our Chief of Douche tried to show solidarity with? After our current dumbass country bombed yours did that not bring more unification? I think it was you that said they give a shitton to Hezbollah (paraphrasing) how is that justified? Why does it seem like Iran and a bunch of other countries only care about Palestinians when it is convenient and score political points? Let me say this I am not pro-Israel crap and bad Iran. Because as long as a government treats it’s people with respect and dignity and not just one aspect of it…I am all for. Would you actually agree because I sure a fuck do that the middle east was a better place before all the Westeners got involved and redrew maps? How come you guys or anyone for that matter give up some land to the Kurds? Heck I think they are so desperate they will just take your desert areas. Is there a way we can I guess stay intuned to the middle east like online or stuff? Or is it just Al-Jazerra? What do citizen’s think about enriching uranium? And the far possibility it may turn into nukes? I think it is stupid because the US doesn’t pitch a fit about Israel, Pakiston, or NK… I mean your country has uranium and oil do whatever you want? What gives us to dictate? I got alot more questions if it won’t get you into any trouble. Also you ever though about doing an AMA or something like on !askhistorians@lemmy.world and give a perspective on the history that you live in and what you are taught and stuff?
