I like this conversation, wish we could talk in person. > Look, I happen to have a very high opinion of Iranians and Iranian society. I think you are one of the most sophisticated people in the world Thank you. I don't have such high opinion we're quite average, but thanks. You are absolutely right that my observations are only a tiny fraction and quite subjective. But that doesn't mean they can be fully dismissed. Go to youtube and search for Americans or European's impressions of Iran when they visited. Some of them are at very rural parts [0], and yet, they are so warmly welcomed. And don't be fooled. Iranians can be horrible people. Just see how we treat Afghans. It's pretty damn embarrassing. But to Americans, I've never heard a single bad experience from a European/American in Iran. From reading your posts, I'm pretty much sure we're on the same page. Except that it implies that you think Iranian working class do hate america, whatever that means, and that doesn't seem aligned from what I experienced or from what I've heard from other people's experiences. [0] ▶ this video This is a great example of a visitor going through "children of heaven" class of Iran. There are countless examples of this.

To anybody with a cynical view of Iran and its people I highly recommend watching this fairly recent documentary about a British guy riding a motorcycle through the country. The people seem like some of the most friendly in the world. ▶ this video

I've been wanting to visit Iran ever since I watched this video: ▶ this video , where a guy tells the story of him riding a Honda C90 through the country.

There was this British guy who drove from Beijing back home on a Honda C90 moped. His video about Iran is heartwarming. ▶ this video

On a only slightly related note: there's a guy who drove across a lot of Asia and Europe on a C90. He filmed some of it and cut it togheter. Here's an example: ▶ this video
