#iran is a #psyop

their language is called "farsi" which is from the word "persian"

say #persian to a westerner and he thinks of cute fluffy cats. that would never do for the mental associations to a long cultivated bogeyman.

Fun fact: Farsi was the administrative language of India (well, the country that consisted of northern India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) for about 600 years. Spoken Hindi and Urdu are indistinguishable (Urdu is just Hindi but with the Farsi vocab officially being part of it), and uses a huge number of Farsi words. Standard written Hindi has a lot fewer Farsi words and use the Sanskrit counterparts

I'm Assamese, and because the current Indian state of Assam was a seperate country for most of the period (till the 1820s), the Assamese language's vocab is mostly Sanskrit based. Although being next to Sino-Tibetan cultures/ethnicities, the accent and pronounciation of those words sound completely different and closer to South East Asian languages

i had an inkling that persian was very close to sanskrit, thanks for illuminating

oh yeah, and farsi also.

persian = fluffy kitties and chess

iran and farsi = brown people who want to bomb us with nukes

Ancient Farsi and Ancient Sanskrit were very close. Another fun fact, the gods of Vedic Hinduism, the ones no longer worshipped, were the villains of Zoroastrianism

yeah i'm not surprised about this kind of reframing.

the losers of the war in heaven (aka titanomachy, war of the titans) spread across the world starting from the banks of the red sea, subjugating tribe after tribe and flipping every script they had. the good guys, the 2/3rds not fallen angels, had long before that sent out messengers for all kinds of reasons to help their fellow, less advanced humans progress. the fallen angels have done the reverse. and then jesus, siddhartha, and chuang showed up and threw sand in their gears, in preparation for the planned evac/abandonment - evac of the elect, and the righteous, and abandonment of the evil to the coming fire from the sun.

i could elaborate to some extent on what backs up that theory but i just prefer to say "Read The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya for a good starting point"
