Thoughts on this insane levels of nationalism & why everyone is disputing over the "Persian" label so much.
It’s no surprise that the social media comments are complete brainrot and a massive toxic fest, but is anyone else surprised by the amount of nationalism, ignorance, and ruthless hostility people have toward one another? I’m not here to take sides on who’s right or wrong. Both arguments have valid points as well as flaws. What’s become really obvious, though, is that there seems to be an identity crisis within the community.
This trend was supposed to be something amusing, yet somehow it’s turned into people fighting just to feel included, gatekeeping certain terms, and attacking others over meaningless differences. It feels like people can never simply coexist peacefully because there will always be hate, division, and confusion surrounding identity.
And for reference these aren't the only comments, there are few more videos with similar patterns.
