History of Iran 

Great so what about the history of free speech itself (let's pretend that we're making an alternative to free speech heheheh)? At least our Yuan Dynasty EP gave us the ability to "hold vigils for our" own lowly existence in our own language, rather than all of our history only being in Arabic. The Cyrus alphabet is a fistful of construction site bullcrap and Tomiris was a reformer. Am I begging the universe to give us another Tomiris? NO, BECAUSE SHE ACTUALLY WASN'T A NOBODY AND ACTUALLY FINISHED DOING ONE THING. I'VE NEVER MET AN IRANIAN WHO BELIEVES THAT ANYTHING CAN BE FINISHED. As an Iranian, I apologize to all Turks for being "a savage", and demand that I be "saved" in a secular and Chinese way, rather than a Turkish way. Just because they describe us in a certain way while making fun of us (we Iranians) doesn't mean that we need to actually ritually observe those actions which they claim that we do because of our "savage" and mockable/jester-like behavior. Life is about getting the next generation to solve our generation's problems So, yeah, we had a bad phase where people made fun of us, and then they forced us to regularly observe rituals where we did denigrating things which they invented in their jokes. For example, South Asians were also mocked as "shit-eaters" and became required by law to practice the eating of shit from cows in order to make the humiliating comments truly "come full circle". Iranian "culture" is the same. I'm telling you honestly, as an Iranian. Look at my picture. This is seriously not a "joke account". I'm being extremely serious.

China moment

It also briefly applied to Alexander, before he died.

@@the11382 *Iskandar 😁

​@@the11382the succeeding Seleucids also had a mixed Greco-Persian government although it was more Greek than Persian. They intermarried a lot with Persian nobility. Also, this is a phenomenon that happens a lot with ancient, established civilisations. The invaders assimilate to gain more legitimacy among the locals and prestige. Same happened with the Roman Empire in the West with the Germanic tribes adopting Roman customs and language, ancient Greeks who were admired by the Romans. Eastern Romans with the Slavs and the Turks adopting Byzantine culture, architecture and administration. Egypt where every n billionth invader would assimilate or let them be until the Arabs. India where all Muslim invaders would assimilate and intermarry with Hindu nobility and, obviously, China.

Iranian US caliphate when?

Lmao

TIL Iran is the Kanye of nations

- having dynasties created by the most improbable guys.

We're Ajam because of Mongolia; and in their records, the only Iranians are nomadic. People do COME TO IRAN and import non-nomadic status quos, but they appear to not have been able to move the border between them and the nomads for thousands of years. The Iranians end up being the only ones on the land for some reason or another. Hope I've helped you. If you want to know the result of my scientific investigation into Persian culture, then it's fine that you don't know anything about Persian culture because we probably had a bad phase where people made fun of us, and then they forced us to regularly observe rituals where we did humiliating things which they invented in their jokes. For example, South Asians were also mocked as "shit-eaters" and became required by law to practice the eating of shit from cows in order to make the humiliating comments truly "come full circle" (and being forced to burn each other's wives to reduce the population). Iranian "culture" is the same. It's like having the brain of a robot.

Literally me😂

Those outsiders became more “Iranian” than the actual Iranians. your sentence is a bit cringe bc the actual iranians will always be more iranian than those outsiders the persian race culture history survived bc of ''persian/iranian people'' not those outsiders i tell you this as a persian

@@shadowgod1797 In fact, Turkic-speaking peoples have played a major role in Iranian history, ruling the country from the eleventh century up to the early twentieth. Even today they represent more than a quarter of Iran's population. Foltz, R. (2016) Iran in world history. Oxford etc.: Oxford University Press. p.61

@@phoenixk4328 The Azeris, known to be Turkic, were originally an Iranic tribe during pre-Islamic Iran. After the fall of the Sassanid Empire and subsequent Arab and Mongol invasions, Turks flooded or migrated into the Iranian plateau while simultaneously adopting and embracing our culture, becoming Persianized. Turkic dynasties were heavily influenced by Persian society for a reason. They relied on Persian culture, adopting its politics and administrative systems to sustain their civilizations. That's how the Turks became more Iranian rather than purely Turks themselves.

Funny Turk 😂

As an Armenian I confirm all above. We love Iran, though, unlike our other muslim neighbors

Hellenistic Greekaboo moment

The Parthians were a lot more tolerant of the Greeks and had a mixed Greco-Persian government which they basically inherited from the Seleucids. The later Sassanids however were full blooded Iranians and hated Greeks and Romans to the core.

​@@zippyparakeet1074the sassanids were Acheamenids wanna be. Like, they even recreated the immortals (as heavy cavalry)

@@randombillyn well, obviously, they saw themselves as a continuation of the First Persian Empire after a roughly half a millenium break during the Seleucid and Parthian Empires. They used it as propaganda to instill this idea that their conflict with the Romans (and the Greek speaking Eastern Romans) was a continuation of the conflict that started with thr Greeks after the first Persian invasion of Thrace and Achaea by the Achaemenids 500 years ago and they were continuing the struggle to reverse Alexander the Great's conquests by wresting all of the near East- from Anatolia to Egypt- from the Romans and finally restore the Old Achaemenid borders. They got close in their final war with the Eastern Romans but were eventually defeated.

Wait really? Damn I never knew that

Sarmatism also shows a interesting angle to this

@@cyrusthegreat7030 yup

@@KoroushRP not really. They certainly had conflicting aims, but after a period of War, the ottomans and safawids agreed to a border and that border was kept since then up to today. The Western borders of iran were determined by the ottoman-safawid agreements.

The great game of Geopolitics will stay the same no matter who the players are

​@InsertAccountI have a most elaborate theory about this issue. The armenian bussy is superior to all other bussy. That is why the Roman freaks and their ottoman rape babies hate them, they fuck the bussy and then blame the bussy for "turning them gay", forcing them to sin against Allah and his commands. The Iranians know the true value of good bussy and think will never allow for post nut clarity to cloud their judgment like this, we know we'll horny again soon, and bussy will regain its intoxicating grip on us once more, we know there is no bussy like Armenian bussy, and such high quality top shelf bussy must be protected at all cost, and that if Allah did not want his slaves to sin with Armenian bussy then he shouldn't have made Armenian bussy so good. It is unfair to create such unfathomably good bussy and then command your subjects to refrain from enjoying it, it's in fact cruel. This is why we will protect Armenian bussy to the last man.

@@Iranvardan Yep, In Middle Persian Kurd means tent dweller

Unfortunately Ismail the Kafir came and forcefully made everyone to follow a cult that was started by a Jew called Ibn Saba and divided Iran from the rest of the Muslim world.

​@@IranvardanKurds and Iranians are more or less the same, or was. The only reason there's this divide is because Iranians are mostly Shi'a and Kurds are Sunnis so it was written in history that they would be divided. Had the Safavids not existed then the Kurds would not be even called Kurds but Iranians.
