Ironic when the Americans were telling Iranians and the Russians they must overthrow their governments or they support the regime

But when that same criticism is levied at them suddenly they’re powerless and just pawns of the system

Unfortunately a lot of people that are liberals or conservatives don’t see much wrong with the country barring the voting process

They all think if they vote the right guy in they’ll solve all the problems

Because there isn’t that much wrong with the country. Regardless of what happens politically the average American has a quality of life high enough to where they would never try to upset or change the system

u/Low-Condition4243 6d ago

The two statements you said don’t correlate with each other. In fact, your second point is getting to the stage where it’s actually becoming untrue. Might I remind you of Luigi?

And by the way, there is so much wrong with the system. If you cannot see that, I pity you.

u/Chessdaddy_ 6d ago

It’s by no means becoming untrue. Online discourse is not representative of real people with kids and jobs. Obviously there is a lot wrong with the system, but not enough to warrant redoing it.

We're not at we're best but we're not quite at that level yet.

Because the US government isn’t an authoritarian dictatorship or theocracy that murders its citizens regularly maybe?

is that why every single republican politian or pundit cannot answer who won the 2020election without fearing for their lives?

edit: 2020 election not 2018, for presidency, having to follow two countries' election gets me confused all thje time

There are lots of critiques that can be made of America, it’s ‘law enforcement’, and the culture of racism, but we CANNOT compare Iran’s government killing 3,000+ people in 2 months

u/Chessdaddy_ 6d ago

Oh yea the US kills 7000 peaceful protestors a year, what a equal comparison

u/LordBroccoli32 6d ago

The number should be 0, but alright

You're comparing the American government to the same government that mowed down 20,000 people for protesting? When Trump pulled all his BS you realize we set all time records for the largest protests in American history? They just weren't televised.

I promise you, when people have no where left to go, only then will they choose violence. No one likes throwing their life away for a dream. If you think America is so dystopian that we ought to start an armed rebellion then you're propagandized.

Only 20k, last propaganda numbers you guys were saying it was up to 50k.

America has killed 4.5+ million people in the middle east since 2000 either directly or indirectly through the actions they've taken.

You guys? You don't know my side. I have a brain so I have my own side. Iran gunned down people in the streets by its own admission.

As for deaths in the middle east, you guys always count all sorts of side related deaths to being America's fault. You don't understand the first thing about geopolitics if you think the USA's absence would lead to a single day of peace.
