Not the case when taking into account recent history, or old history and politics. Obviously to say china was the country historically getting faraway lands to fall in line by economic means is opposite of reality. Tiktok is also political

Not only just a superficial change, and if anyone calls it parsi in iran they just come across like a literary person, it’s that Classical persian literature as we know it is from after arab era until 1300s. Persian imported arabic words an

There was a point in history when science was not public. Even after it became public, moat was still a thing.

Not true. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_the_Tang... Although china does not seem to try to get in wars historically. Conflicts between for example middle east and china over recorded history are n

The concept of "modern” nation-state is modern and therefore new, it cannot be otherwise. The original comment remarked on nation-states, and that they have existed in the past. They are not new as far as I am aware.

I’m going off old memory here, but I happened to have his C++ book in late 90s. I read that before I learn C. In intro he claimed strongly no need to learn C. Just learn C++. I was young and just followed his wisdom. Obviously there’s zero

Tomatoes were brought from the new world. Quick googling says Strawberries are also from Europe. That would give the Farang prefix.

I actually do not know. But there’s a wikipedia page on Farang that suggests this could be the case!

I can’t recall having the sour variety of lemon in Iran. There’s lemon (english lime), and there’s sweet lemon. Well, it is only sweet if you have it in the first couple of seconds after opening. After exposure to the air, it doesn’t taste

Frankish is what Farangistan and farangi was derived from. Referring to the Franks of course. I think it is from middle ages or earlier, if I’m not mistaken.

The second persian empire did this. Well, in reverse. They tried to preserve books in high dry lands, believing there will be flood (coming from the west if I remember correctly).

Why call it temporal correlation when it neither denies nor establish causation? what can establish causation in this case? Unless one attempt to go back in time, recognize he is not banned yet he has put an issue in the tracker. Source hut

There was also the economic aspect. Inheritance to daughters and widows was developed and enforced by muslims, and I hear in turn families became motivated to marry among their own to keep the wealth in the family.

Unfortunately saying nothin used to be a thing. It was the wise thing to do. But just like how publish and perish became a thing, it is not wise to say little and selectively. Check twitter. I don’t support the government in charge there. H

Source? Looked for Source! There is None that would implicate Iran in any way. Even somewhat the opposite: According to Armenians themselves: verbatim from Armenian historian https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vartan_Grego

This seems disingenuous on most grounds. Are you serious? To me it tends to anti iranian than pro. Pre-islam persian language continued in iran until 10th century at least, and it evolved into modern persian. Abbasid revolution was pro-iran

Not to defend this government really, but the graphs tells us iran was in war and was sanctioned. The graphs still tell us it is sanctioned. The economic progress in gdp measures or revolution capacity measures? The shah himself thought it

What something is used to mean differs from whether it makes sense objectively. Ming existed independently of observer obviously, and sciences are objective by definition. Objectively one also considers if people move, and flow of money. I

Maybe basij in theory was meant to be representative, in practice at best representative of 10% of students in a technical university. Maybe even 15 some place. But at some building at sharif, easier to detect gravitational waves. To give

To add the economic situation is consequence of trump pulling out of the nuclear agreement, sanctioning, and democratic administration keeping the status quo. @dang my other comment is dead. Flagged or not according to guidelines?

At mild risk of getting downvoted. At least in the last 10 years, the protests has been motivated by economic situation. people don’t like the government but they also remember how bad the last revolution was, iraq-iran war after it on top.
