Ive met and been friend with different types of activists from different countries and oppressed nations, majority of them were hard working hopeful individuals that worked as a team to do something for their nation, sometimes they used to ask me about Afghanistan and I used to ask them about crisis in their country to which majority used to get amazed as how I know whats going on in their country and how little they knew about Afghanistan anyway as an Afghan the political crisis and the ignorance might make you shed tears but out of all these different friends I had the situation of Iranian political activists is so worst that instead of tears shedding blood was not enough to express their anger. The reason for this was clear since the anti-war groups and organisations in the West might cooperate with organisations of countries like Afghanistan and Iraq against imperialism, capitalism, war etc but for Iranians even these left wing were against them and not a single word was taken as truth instead everyone calls them zionist agents or zionist propaganda. Majority of the people will believe things that suits their belief instead of doing proper research and learn the other side or sides. Once youre into military zone its very hard for someone not to get brainwashed with fake patriotism, nationalism etc. Everyone in Iran must join military for 2 years and this is where they are taught that no matter what, the state is the righteous authority and thats why even a common man doesnt have independent opinion except that his or her views are reflection of what the state teaches them.
