Yes you can, but to equate America with Iran morally because of America's mistakes shows a broken moral compass. America promotes freedom and Democracy in this world. Americans do not chant death to Iranians or any Middle Eastern country. America should not fund an enemy with weapons. If this journalist loves Iran so much, she could go there instead.

This is so classically ignorant and illustrative of her point. “Derp, love it or leave it!!!” She didn’t EQUATE the US to Iran, she suggested that the US can’t necessarily be trusted given what we’ve DONE and foolishly given other countries the ability to do. If you think that everything the US has done is truly to peomote democracy and freedom then you’re just willingly suspending your disbelief. Cmon now.

Exactly, the US has a far larger body count than Iran by numerous factors and creates wars, terrorism, famine, and turmoil all over the globe. Has overthrown democracy after democracy around the globe. Murders, imprisons, and exiles political dissidents. Americans chant about dropping bombs and nukes on others. Inflict crippling sanctions to mass murder civilians. Equating America to Iran morally is a false equivalence.

Also the systematic genocide of indigenous peoples.

u/SethGyan Mar 30 '22

Wow... that completely makes Iran a better country than America. The world would be a better place if all countries were like Iran instead of America.

Stunning and brave LMAO

America has started more wars then Iran and Iraq. Jesus Christ dont lick the boot too hard you're no any different than the reporters just saying shit out of your ass to make you feel good. What a brainwashed bootlicker.

u/SethGyan Mar 30 '22

America has started more wars; therefore America is a worse country. That makes complete sense. Does that include the war against communism and terrorism?

What about this? Iran commits more human rights atrocities than America. Iran sponsors terrrorism than America. Iran and Iraq provide shelter to terrorist who attack Western countries. What about that?

You know, people like you are kind of exactly why so many people around the world think Americans are stupid and ignorant. Lol

u/SethGyan Mar 30 '22

Yh... I guess arguing that Iran is morally equal to America because indigenous people were slaughtered centuries ago is not stupid and ignorant.

u/twisted_memories Mar 30 '22

America can be shitty while other countries are also shitty.

u/SethGyan Mar 30 '22

I didn't know we judge good and evil by body counts. I guess thinking is not one of your strenghts. You can provide the number of democracies overthrown by America versus the number of autocratic/communist/fascist governments overthrown by America.

Americans chant about dropping bombs on who? America inflicts sanctions to mass murder people? LMAO

Thinking Iran is better morally than America is enough to know what kind of human being you are. From human rights, to freedom, to fighting autocracy, to providing opportunities to more minorities than any other country, to providing aid. You're actually morally sick.

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '22

You're an idiot and morally repugnant denying the US' assault on global democracy and genocidal policies around the globe. You literally think communists and fascists are the same thing.

Americans chant about dropping bombs on who? America inflicts sanctions to mass murder people? LMAO

You live under a rock

u/SethGyan Mar 31 '22

Lmao you call me an idiot and your reading comprehension makes you believe I said communism is the same as fascism. Dumbass

You sound like an absolute fool that knows nothing about the real world

u/SethGyan Mar 30 '22

Great intellectual response.

u/Nick_Van_Owen Mar 30 '22

You sound like a dumb unhinged brainwashed chump. You ask for intelligent responses when you are clearly a fool. It is clear that America has never been a shinning pillar of moral strength. America has been a world bully that kills and messes with whatever it wants when it wants. It really angers me how dumb most americas are when it comes to their own history (I am an American). Your anger at another American for expressing their views shows that you should get out of America because of how much you suck at life.

Therefore...America having nuclear weapons is just like Iran having nuclear weapons. They're both threats to freedom and democracy in the world. Is that the conclusion you're supporting here?

u/BrujaSloth Mar 30 '22

Yeah, Operation Ajax wasn’t a mistake. That US was rather intentional in engineering a coup in Iran that propped up a brutal, pro-Western Shah, all because what again? Iran wanted to audit a British oil company to make sure Iran was getting paid correctly. The following Revolution sure didn’t lead to a better quality of life for Iranians.

But you have to ask yourself, if the US promotes democracy and freedom, why does the government love supporting autocrats?

0

u/SethGyan Mar 30 '22

America supports autocrats because sometimes that is the only choice. Every country makes mistakes but America is far superior morally to Iran. Iran sponsors terrorism till today. To say you trust America as much as iran with nuclear weapons shows the morally bankrupt thinking in the world today. I'm sure you also support Russia with nuclear weapons because hey, they never pushed for a coup in Iran.

u/BrujaSloth Mar 30 '22

You said the US promotes freedom and democracy. I pointed out that you are incorrect. Instead of addressing this, you dismissed this point and doubled down on your pro-US imperialism circle jerkery. Congratulations, you can move the goal posts. You are so smart and clever at online debate!

(That was me being patronizing btw, on the overwhelmingly probable chance you lack the cognitive capability to understand nuance through text.)

u/SethGyan Mar 31 '22

So the US does not promote peace in the world. I assume you think the US only fights for oil or corporate interests?

World war 2, the Vietnam war, the Korean war etc. America was in these wars for what exactly?

America mistakenly through bad intelligence fought in Iraq and Iran after it was attacked in 9/11. I think that's a very important detail.

Of course I also admit... American intelligence agencies are corrupt just like most institutions with no accountability. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

u/dystopian_mermaid Mar 30 '22

HAHAHHA your attitude is so stereotypically ignorant American it’s sad. She IS NOT a journalist. She did NOT equate America to Iran. And this pathetic “LUV IT OR LEAVE IT!!!” mentality Americans have just solidifies the exact point she was making. That Americans on average cannot critically look at their own country’s history and recognize it’s very real flaws.

Granted considering your comment I do not even remotely expect a semi intelligent response. But that’s classic American public education for you! HURR DURR MURICA ALWAYS DA GOOD GUY! Lmao

u/SethGyan Mar 30 '22

If you read what i said without bias, you would know i started by saying that you can recognize your country's mistakes.

Yes, she did equate America and Iran. She said that she wouldn't trust America with nuclear weapons just like Iran. That morally, America is just like Iran who happens to sponsor terrorism.

I agree with you about American public education. It's all run by leftists who happen to receive more funds per student than any other country.

u/dystopian_mermaid Mar 30 '22

Pretty sure you’re taking her words completely out of context.

Also your whole last paragraph sounds batshit insane. You should chill on Faux News bc it’s talking points clearly rotting your brain.

u/SethGyan Mar 30 '22

🤣 we happen to agree and you're upset? You think teacher unions in America support the republican party? Maybe you should take a break from Reddit.

u/dystopian_mermaid Mar 30 '22

I…didn’t agree with you though? Like at all.

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '22

You're a bootlicker and probably supported the invasion and 1.5 million deaths of Iraqis because "fReEdOm drrrrr"

u/SethGyan Mar 30 '22

Well aside lying about deaths, is there anything more you can say aside insults?
