    You’re so mad about this, and I can’t figure out why. I’m saying the Iranian government is bad, so when you say this:

    Talking about how the Iranian regime “massacres and persecutes their own people” to support the the notion that America is less murderous and to claim that Iran’s actions of self-defense against American bases used to attack Iran in its allied nations around it aren’t justified (which is where this whole thread started) is self-serving tribalist hypocrisy.

    It’s a non-sequitur. Nobody was defending the US and the only reason why they even came up is because you mentioned them by way of were praising an objectively awful government. It also occurred to me to ask since you put “massacres and persecutes their own people”,” do you think Iran doesn’t do that? Or is it just inconvenient to acknowledge it while fighting American imperialism online?

      I’ve noticed that is a common thread, that many people’s entire worldview is ‘America bad’; so much so that pointing out horrifying things a country does in any context is replied to with ‘why are you downplaying how bad America is’?
