Anchor Books
I would like to suggest reading The Ayatollah Begs to Differ by Hooman Majd. I got a lot of good ideas of places to see from that book.
I feel that. I have a B.S. in Physics and have deliberately ignored most energy-related arguments on reddit so I don't have a stroke.
That said, it doesn't make you entirely wrong per se to suggest a call to action. But it is more nuanced than that - another poster in this thread discussed the frequent futility of active resistance in totalitarian regimes (of which Iran is not technically but some of the points apply). If you're genuinely interested in the subject of Iran, why it is the way it is, and why change there isn't going to happen overnight (even though it probably WILL happen), I recommend picking up a copy of The Ayatollah Begs to Differ. Quality read and a really good overview of the subject of modern Iranian culture with some insights into governance, civil society, feminist undertones, etc.
