Watching this made my cry thinking about how the empire manufactures consent to sacrifice the lives of these wonderful people in order to promote its interests in the region.
It’s also quite interesting that she travelled to Iran right as the protests were breaking out. I wonder if she will be releasing some footage of that in the coming weeks.
I got very emotional, watching this video, starting with her currency exchange. It makes me very sad to know why the devaluation is happening, and I thought of Zimbabwe and had uneasy suspicion about that.
I saw how friendly and welcoming the people are, and wonder if the reception would be understandably different to USians. I thought of some ASMR videos that were of country life somewhere on the Iran-Azeri border I used to very much enjoy, but haven’t seen in some time (mainly because I don’t log into YT anymore and have forgotten the channel name).
I wondered if there are no Nike or Adidas because of the trade situation, and wondered if the quality of local made clothing is better; and wondered at all the sewing machines.
I audibly gasped at the beauty of the mosque, with the mirror and color tiles.
Throughout, I felt extremely sorrowful for how much maligned this beautiful state is, and chopped some onions knowing the precarious situation for them and that is my state’s fault.
Thank you for sharing this.
To speak on the quality of local made clothing, as I sometimes request my relatives bring me something when they visit home, I personally like it quite a bit. Particularly, I like the longer shorts and I think they’re more comfortable that brands in the US. The overall quality is kinda hit or miss in some areas, as someplaces fall apart more easily, but that could be due to how worn they are for me.
That’s my experience with shorts at least which is what I ask for given the chance.
Also Iranian coke is way better then American coke. Like magnitudes better, it actually has a good cola flavor instead of feeling like the most overly processed sludge going down your throat.
I would appreciate shorts that are booty-covering plus several cm, that also aren’t crotch-splitting. I usually go for board shorts but most of my clothing is in tatters now, anyway.
You’re welcome! My jaw was on the floor while she was visiting the mosque!
