It does though. Lower courts are the reason Trump hasn’t (yet) overturned birthright citizenship. And why many other policies have failed.
Some things have gone poorly in scotus to be sure, but these courts are fighting the good fight.
What about the american terrorism? Glossing over that?
Nope.
Because there likely wouldn’t be as much terrorism, if not for the decades of antagonist behaviours.
look what you made me do!
I can’t support any state that has supported terrorism the way Iran has. There is no justification for that.
If the US is hated, it’s probably justified.
I’m not saying it isn’t. I’m saying, and did say, not to lionize Iran just because you’re mad at Israel and the US.
And what happened before that? And before that? And before that? This is how all these discussions go. But you blame Israel for not “cozing up” to a regime that literally does not recognize their legitimacy and has done so for 50 years while it has also funded terror groups to attack them.
I’m sorry but there is not black and white here.
They’ve said it since the '70s. Maybe instead of entrenching their theocratic dictatorship for decades they should be working towards a more collaborative and egalitarian future with their neighboring countries and cultures.

You mean the ones that have “death to Israel” as a slogan? C’mon people. Don’t lionize Iran just because you’re angry at Israel and the US.
From your armchair?
Well, it’s affecting you now. What are you going to do about it?
Oh - I like that!
Then we’d see rates at zero. We don’t so your theory is immediately discredited.
😆
lower SA rates than Detroit.
🤣
Yeah - in places where women lack rights guess what they don’t report.
Ah - you are right - I do confuse the hijab and the burka sometimes. It’s hard to keep track of how the different middle eastern nations subjugate women.
It’s not a bastion of freedom, but it is better than the US and UK and especially Israel at this one category that you incorrectly said it wasn’t.
Well, since you want to get into regional differences, that very much depends on which US state you live in. Many absolutely allow one to change their gender - even to an ‘X’ for non-binary. There are even anti-discrimination laws in place as well.
As far as race, you people don’t tend to know anything about Iran but you lump it in with Arab and Muslim culture and assume all things true in Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia or Dearborn Michigan must be in common with Iran because they’re all the same right?
Did you just… “You people” me? You don’t even know what “people” I am. You’re fighting a straw-man now and trying to make it against “me” rather than the topic. I get it.
Nothing in islam is anti-lgbtq. Nothing in Arab or Persian culture is anti-lgbtq. There are some states that have rules banning it, Iran isn’t one of them.
Neat. It doesn’t matter. In Iran Islam says what a very select group of people say it says. Like in the Catholic church - the Bible doesn’t matter, it says whatever the Pope says it says. It’s like that in all religions and there is enough variance in all religions that anybody can say “X isn’t against that” and also “X is for that” at the same time.
Hell the ‘morality police’ that you israelis call it
… I’m sorry, what? Who’s the racist now?
Hell the ‘morality police’ that you israelis call it don’t even exist across the country. Each region has its own rules and the rules aren’t universal, much less universally enforced. Women aren’t forced to cover in general, but muslim women don’t have to cover in Tehran whereas Umira they do. And that’s awful that region is like that, but pretending it’s the whole country because you’re too lazy, too stupid, too racist, or all of the above to even try to understand a country you’re bombing is ridiculous.
So just like you’re doing with the US?
It may not be universal - but the bar is so much lower. In the US (even the worst parts of it) no woman is called “brave” for showing her face in public or on a YouTube video.
treated as women
Yeah, about that…
You’re just racist.
What’s race have to do with anything? It’s a theocracy with morality police and you’re defending it like it’s some bastion of freedom and liberty.
Yeah, Iran is a trans paradise.
For sure. Women and LGBTQ people in particular find the morality police to be very reasonable when they’re being beaten in the streets and arrested.
It could be his own Elba. I would be willing to chip in for that while we eradicate Trumpists from government.
The “bigger evil” eh? The US is the one who killed 10 thousand+ protesters? And the US is the one where women are beaten to death in the streets for showing their faces? Where LGBTQ people worry about a lot more than “can I play sports or use a public restroom?”
Lemmy has gone stupid over Iran. The two aren’t even close. Iran isn’t a “hero” in any sense of the word.
Yes. I haven’t said otherwise - y’all just assume I’m saying whatever the straw-man in your head has ready arguments for.
That said - terrorism is always the greater evil than military attacking military. You can justify war as “politics through other means” but when you start attacking non-combatant populations you’re in a world of wrong. There is no justification for it. That was Iran’s choice. That they fought back isn’t (necessarily) wrong, but that they have chosen terrorism as their means is.
