        Cope harder, scratched liberal. The collective west is the greatest source of human death and suffering in human history by a long shot. Fuck, Israel is its spawn and Iran is its victim.

        The west: destroys Iran’s possibility of choosing is own future last century when its people democratically elected Mosaddegh, who was enacting progressive and secular policy, and wanted the profits of Iranian oil to stay in Iran instead of being sucked by Britain through British Petroleum. Economically and militarily blockades the country to prevent oil exports, bribes religious authorities to radicalise the masses against progressives, and pays for mafias and actors to both destroy private property and alienate people and to head western-funded anti-Mossadegh protests that culminated in the toppling of Iran’s greatest chance at progressivism, democracy and industrialisation

        Scratched liberals like you: “these radical religious Asians are so violent”

      Yeah nah. Iran is at the heart of Evil Empire Alliance A and Israel is at the heart of Evil Alliance B

      There is nothing good about Iran or Israel’s govt. They’re both evil, and they’re aligned with countries some of whom are also doing (or have done) evil.

        This is a false equivalence. Iran’s government has human rights issues, but the US-Israel alliance has caused far more global military destruction and civilian casualties since 1948

        US invasions span every continent killing millions whereas Iran has never before attacked a country directly.

        Iran hasn’t overthrown dozens of governments in regime change operations either.

        Turning this into a “Both sides” arguments ignores demonstrable empirical differences in death and destruction.

          Oh so only a little genocidal murder is perfectly fine, because there are others who did far more genocidal murder? Do you even listen to yourself how incredibly stupid your argument is?

          This is not a zero sum game, you can oppose both, just because you want to oppose one more doesn’t mean that the other one is someone to cheer for.

            The US and UK literally created the conditions for contemporary Iran. They toppled Mossadegh and sowed the seeds of religious extremism. You’re blaming the victims of the western empire for the consequences they’re suffering, you uneducated chauvinist.
