Because liberalism is largely a Western concept, at least in origin. And the conservative elites of Iran are popularly of the opinion that the riots and dissent are more a result of "Western" ideals polluting their core society than legitimate dissatisfaction among the people against the government.
- marcosdumay 4y ago> Because liberalism is largely a Western concept, at least in origin. Hum... I suggest you take a deeper look at this. Modern liberalism is an obvious progression of the ancient variety, and it's really ironic that we are talking about Iran.
- dartharva 4y agoPlease educate me how it is an "obvious progression of the ancient variety". I can't claim to know all about the ideology's lineage but I am sure liberalism was definitely an alien concept that had to be gradually seeped into all Asian and Middle-Eastern societies through globalism. It is still at odds with almost every native social structure in the East.
