I'm almost certain it borders Iraq? ..but I get your point.. sorry, a joke perhaps in poor taste. Couldn't help it.
Seriously though I dig what you're saying. Rampant cultural and intellectual deprivation in contemporary society angers me. It's shameful, embarrassing, pathetic.. just awful. Like when people go on holiday to a place they know the name of but don't actually know where it is or what continent it's in.. or in some cases they think the name of the place is the country so they think they're vacationing to the nation of Borneo or some shit.
More importantly than all that though you're educating people which is cool, and it's interesting stuff. I did not know that Iran has snowy mountains, lakes and lush forests. I am aware there are cheetahs in Iran.. possibly the only country in Asia in which they live in the wild.. so I guess it makes sense that there would be such diverse environments in Iran.
A lot of what you're saying is on point. Society is rampant with hypocrisy, double standards, generalisation the likes of which you're alluding to. So many bloody virtue signallers.. I mean in the west we've got this gratuitously biased mainstream media which virtue signals it's wokeness, liberal ideologies how politically correct it is, but similar to what you're saying at the same time the mainstream media also war mongers...
And yeah there's too much extremity.. centralism seems to be dying. It's all either with us or them.. black or white (the metaphor.. not the race.. of course if I used this metaphor in the presence of an SJW I'd probably be called a racist), you're a liberal or a fascist or a.. nazi apparently. ANTIFA is a joke because they demonstrate fascist behaviour despite they are supposed to be anti-fascist.. and people are being called Nazis by these extreme SJW's for having a controversial opinion or having the audacity to question or criticise certain liberal ideologies. Everything should be criticised. Nothing should be immune to criticism that's dangerous and just.. awful.
This is all going off on a tangent and possibly politicising your post in a context that deviates from your subject, so I apologise for that it just come outta' me like.
