Genghis Khan and Hitler were both authoritarians that had people killed over dissent.

Therefore, Genghis Khan invaded Poland in 1939 and put European Jews in concentration camps. They are identical.

I'm not talking about moral equivalence! You used the wrong term for the current head of state of Iran. Just learn and move forward, and stop acting like an arrogant ass when corrected.

I'm sorry if I sounded smug when I called out your initial error.

Yeah and they are identical too. I wasn't referring to the head of state, I was insulting how the Iranian revolution replaced its tyrant with another tyrant.

All tyrants are the same. Their title is bullshit.
