    A little reminder that casual racism is alive and well. It’s this kind of bullshit that elected the pedoprez. U$A is by far the biggest shithole around.

      We dont kill our woman for not wearing head gear. Nor our children when they stand up for our women’s right not to wear head gear.

      Under any other circumstances you would be right. America is a shithole, I would agree with you.

      That fact that you decided to make that point on a comment about a woman getting beaten for not wearing a headscarf, (in a place that jailed and killed thousands for similar, with their secret-god-police) tells me all I need to know about you as a person.

      It wasnt that long ago that Mahsa Amini was killed. I will never forget or forgive the well documented violence that Iran perpetrated on its women and it’s young and hopeful.

      It’s a shit hole.

        No, you guys just execute people for being black, assuming you don’t put them in modern slave camps.

        Iran is a shithole. The US is a shithole. I wouldn’t throw stones if I lived in a house of glass, but you do you.

          Injustice is Injustice and shifting the conversation from one injustice to another is just deflection.

          Like a drunk pilot raving about substance abuse issues in the trucking industry at his trial.

          The post is about Iran.

          The line that sticks with me, always: “You’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole.”

            Yes, injustice is injustice. But there’s something to be said about the pot calling the kettle black.

            Like a robber telling the pickpocket he’s wrong for stealing.

              Except, in this case, it’s more like the pickpocket calling the murderer wrong. Which is appropriate, in this circumstance.

                No. It’s like the torturer calling the murderer wrong.

                And you sit here being like “well, at least the torturer didn’t kill anyone”.

      USA definitely is a shithole, but it’s not racist to criticise a government… (Pretty obviously implied)
