United States President Donald Trump says Washington had armed Iranian opposition groups and protesters during mass antigovernment demonstrations in December and January, in which thousands of people were killed during crackdowns by government forces.
The thing with moral relativism is that it puts the two subjects on the same level. But are they?
One side represses legitimate but dangerous riots with violence, the other kills schoolgirls at their desks during class hours.
I’m not putting both of them on the same level. Just saying; A rapist and a mass child murderer are both criminals, it is very okay to call both bad while not proclaiming they are equally bad. One obviously is worse than the other.
In this case, though, I’m hard press to tell you which is worse, the Iranian government or the US government. The Iranian government is a theocratic dictatorship that regularly disappears people for even dressing the wrong way, let alone protest or gasp being gay. They would love to dominate and dictate other countries and if they get their hands on a nuke, it could be really bad, though a similar claim could be made for Pakistan which now does have nukes.
The US government is a corrupt semi dictatorship that has spent the last 7 decades fucking over other countries for its own good. Ironically, Iran is the way it is now because of the US’ actions some 7 or so decades ago. They now too make people disappear, they are responsible for thousands of deaths all over the world, and with cheeto in charge, they may very well end the world.
