Nationalism is the stupidest thing humans have created regardless of who their propaganda affects and how.

Also, not all Iranians are Persian. There are multiple cultures, despite nationalist attempts at cultural genocide.

Out of order, I had that experience. Took me till this September to put it together, and I'm now 28. I thought it was just a kink, purely sexual. Nope.

Important to the upper classes, but not important to the wellbeing and health of average people.

I should mention that I have a habit even outside of writing to overcomplicate things. I want to still write about my complex ideas, like the inner life and philosophy of an Eldritch god, but it definitely won't help if I overcomplicate the language I'm using.

Recently I finally accepted that not everything I write is pure gold and that I'm allowed to rewrite or delete stuff. After all, it's the idea being expressed in a paragraph that's important to me, not the words and their layout.

I'm an indie author. Idk how common my experience is, but here goes.

I've self published one book, but I want to go back and make a 2nd edition, after I finish book 2. My primary goal in writing was to get anyone to enjoy it. I realized onky after publishing that accessibility is important, and I've adapted my writing style. How I realized was that my relative who have English as their second or third language couldn't understand my writing.

The only people who managed to finish my book were all writers, I believe. In order to get through m book they needed to accept that sometimes my writing didn't make sense to them, so they continued regardless.

I'm sorry you and others had/have to go through that. It's infuriating that anyone would do that.
