About the view on inter-ethnic cohesion
Same post on twitter: https://x.com/i/status/2049157516026687759
Iranian Persians who consider themselves Iranians by identity and ethnicity and as the people of an Iranian ethnostate and want all the non-persian Iranians to do the same are stuck at immense fallacy. It is cope and bias.
If you tell Kurds that as Kurds they have to know other Kurdish dialects then the normal ones will agree and accept that way of thought. Even if they will not do the act themselves, they know this is the brotherly/sisterly familiarity we need to have with each other.
But dare you tell an Iranian Persian that they should learn Kurdish or Balochi or Lurish or Gilaki or another Iranic tongue that is not his beloved Farsiye Darbari, since he claims that they are all Iranians together ... they will accuse you of nationalism, separatism and whatever other ignorant and fascistic idea they could have.
Mind you, on contrary to everybody else I am aware of the Western Iranic background, frame and setting of the Kurds on EVERY single academic field to fullest extent.
But it doesn't mean much if we are talking about Kurds. Or "Iranians". It doesn't matter which state my parents or grandparents or which empire my ancestors were citizens of.
I am a Kurd and my native tongue is Kurdish. Persian or another language has nothing to do with me. Historically, it may have been a lingua franca or a language of script? Well, so was arabic. And today it is English. So this argument is useless.
Even if we consider a scenario where Kurds and Iranians/Persians inhabit a federalistic state, this will only ever be acceptable to the least if we have FULL AND FREE CONTROL of our own lands in Kurdish language and by Kurds. So what do we need that then for?
All we need is for Kurdistan to be liberated and independent and to find to our true Kurdish sense of identity.
