My only point was that I don't think it's fair to call what the government has been doing to Iranian people as part of their culture. Maybe it's a lost in translation thing that I'm not getting but to me that means that Iranians are ok with not having freedom to protest which is completely not true. If we gather anything about Iranian culture from these protests it should be that Iranians are a resilient bunch that still want their voices to be heard even when their government is murdering them and their children.
