    Their only dignified escape from the conservative nightmare is by their own hand. Nothing good in history has ever come from conservatism. Nothing.

    Conservatism is a plague of oppression and death. And the plague is spreading.

      What if they don’t have the power to topple their oppressors without foreign intervention?

      It seems that’s the case for Iran.

        I agree. A revolution would be a violent and bloody one. I worry it would still be ineffective. Conservatism is like cancer. The treatment is deadly for both the disease and its victim.

        Foreign infervention is almost always the worst possible option.

        It only makes sense in the case of active mass genocides (think WWII, Cambodia or Serbia). Toppling an oppresive but stable regime through foreign power always ends in destabilisation and even more suffering to the people.

          Right.

          Let me know when these problems get solved doing something I don’t suggest.
