@lain @phnt my impression of afghanistan is a melting pot of different ethnicities and tribes which may or may not have been supposed to form a singular state and held together only by sheer force - whereas iran is far more unified and for lack of better word, far more civilized

@cell@shitposter.world @lain@lain.com @phnt@fluffytail.org when i was a kid and know less about the Farsi culture, i always thought they are on the same spectrum of Arab which has lain said (this probably because i know them speak like arabic and still under semitic language). But after knowing that they are different by its root cultures, i finally enlightened.
