    Fucking obviously. I know I know, Iran gov sucks. But the US is the worst country in the world by a wide margin in terms of the death and destruction it causes around the world.

        My point is that it doesn’t even matter. Even if you take all the anti-Iran propaganda at face value, it isn’t even close to what a force for evil the US is.

          When you say “The government of Iran sucks” you are legitimizing action against Iran’s government.

          You don’t get a vote on Iran’s government, and despite what the pedo cult western media will tell you Iranians do get to vote.

    False dichotomy. They’re both morally bankrupt. It’s like saying a Turd Burger is superior to a Shit Sandwich, when in reality they are both horrible choices.

      Who told you that? Who is your source on the situation in Iran? The same media that tried to cover up the genocide in Gaza? The same media that sold the lie about WMDs in Iraq? The people who covered up and participated in the Epstein cabal?

      You have been propagandized to hate Muslims and Iran for decades.

    Who gives a shit which one is worse? They’re both ass backwards religious nutjobs out to cause harm. Neither one is acting with any more morality than {insert heinous historical dictator of choice}.

      If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

      Sometimes it’s just a bigger, richer bad guy vs someone who would absolutely do even worse things but can’t because he’s not as big.
