agreed. when folks come with “yeah but iran murders protestors” and the response is “so does the US” and people dismiss that because “iran murdered thousands…” I like to ask people for the top number they are ok with. Is 2 ok? But 1000 bad? Ok so what about 20? (hinting along that the number should be zero.)
“If they are mad at Iran and not mad at the US…”
It’s because they’re racist. It’s not a numbers thing. US sanctions kill 500 thousand people every year. The death and destruction that the US has brought upon the world is astronomical, but because of US exceptionalism, a lot of people refuse to see it, especially in the West.
Not equating. Scaling. The folks who are not upset that ICE murdered 2 but also still think Iran is evil because they got 2000… means there has to be some sort of number where they turn a corner and think “ok bad.”
You can’t seem to read what I am saying without forming a reply that indicates you choose to be thick.
I’ll make it simple before I end the thread:
Anyone who is Ok with any number greater than zero is a piece of shit and 2 is as bad as 2000 because once you step off from zero there is no going back and the path to 2000 is only a matter of time.

They could have murdered 90% of their population and they still wouldn’t deserved to be bombed by a bunch of pedophiles and their stupid apologists
It’s not even close to 2 or 20. American police kill more than a thousand Americans every year, far more than any other developed country.

Ok so your counter argument to “but they killed 20k protestors” is literally “would it really be better if they only killed 2?”
no. its not an argument it is a question to the interlocutor; if they are mad at iran but not mad at the US they clearly have a number that is ok.

Very very true!
Sounds like you’re the one here with ‘a number they’re ok with’
And apparently that number is 20k
… i literally said the number should be zero lol.
Ok so you understand that it should be zero, but you can’t comprehend that the one is closer to it than the other
Room for growth
….I am asking others why they are ok with 2 but not ok with 2000. Are you being thick on purpose?
Who said they were “ok with 2”? You just fantasized that
Even then, you’d have to be pretty thick to equate that to 20k
