regardless of what anyone might think of Iran, this is evil
What anyone thinks of Iran should pale in comparison to what they think of the US. Truly the most evil nation since Nazi Germany.
did you forget Russia exists? or China?
Both are bad, neither is worse than the US.
Just going by invasions and regime changes alone the US takes the cake. That’s before you get into the spreading crack into black communities, chemical weapons on civilians, drone strikes on children, ecological destruction, genocide enabling, etc etc.
i hate defending the US because it has had more direct bad impact on my life but by measure of lost life i’d still argue modern Russia is worse, and if we lump current China to not even that long ago China the numbers killed are not even close
the scale of China’s population just blows it all out of proportion
Nazi Germany wasn’t even the worst genocide of its time (what a putrid statement though true)
you sound like a nazi
Wow you're truly stupid lmao.
Idk what lost life you're counting, because it's pretty well known that civilian casualties in just the Iraq war most likely dwarf Ukrainian losses.
ffs google, it is painful when i can tell people are not even trying and just mad at the US
i get it i do, US is doing bad shit but it’s obvious your not even trying to look
Oh indeed thanks for telling me that I need to google your vague and in no way clarified idea of what Russia is doing, when I can read goddamn Russian language itself and have been reading independent Russian-language opposition media covering Russian reality for ages, and know a whole lot more about it than you do.
i’m not even going to read past the first line
only two of you seem lost on what to do
you don’t wanna that’s fine don’t care
Yeah, it's pretty clear already that you actually can't put any brainpower behind your bullshit.
50+million chinese people and the ughyger genocided people would like to have a word with you.
Do you condemn Wihthe genocide?
Learn to spell
huh? write out your point like I’m 5 because it sounds like we agree and i’m confused
By numbers US is probably worse but the level of cruelty from Russia is unmatched outside of terrorist organizations
Would it really be tho?
Like the US targets children and social gatherings to attack, tortures/rapes/murders innocent civilians in black sites, keeps a racial based underclass who they hook on drugs, violently assault from childhood, and lock up in record numbers to serve as legal slave labour. That’s pretty fucking cruel stuff.
Also invades small countries on whim, votes against the well-being of humankind, meddle in other countries' affairs, has been in war for more than 90% of it's existence, never held itself accountable, experiments on its own citizens, and is ruled by a cabal of paedophiles.
All true but I never seen videos o people being killed by sledgehammer to the head or castrated in cold blood with a blunt knife coming from the US.
The US has a myriad of world famous serial killers, i'm sure you can find one with that modus operandi.
How so? You'd have to bring up Tsarist Russia atrocities to match American ones. I for one can't think of something more cruel than napalming villages in Vietnam, or dropping nukes on civilians in Japan, and that's just a couple of examples in the vast bucket of wsr crimes of the US.
You mean the two countries tied for 3rd place in the most evil country competition?
recency bias and the US outsized reputation makes it seem that I’m sure but lol if you think this is true
we’re just more free to complain about it, probably not for much longer though
so if you think it’s bad now buckle up and I say this as a generational casualty of US colonialism
Its not receny bias. The US didnt just turn evil in Jan 2025.
How are are all those black prisoners working in privatised prisons doing by the way?
China has 4 times the population as the US, yet the US still has the largest prison population on Earth.
Slavery never ended in america.
Land of the free my hole. Its literally the least free country on the planet.
who said anything about 2025? even if you want to peg the US evil starting with Nixon (which isn’t perfectly true as we were war profiteering in ww1/2) that’s recent, the US is a baby nation
now you’re just throwing strawman arguments, I don’t support any of this shit the US is currently doing, it’s just stupid to think China hasn’t done worse in the last century, isn't doing equally evil shit now
not to get all tankie on you, but China has thus far managed to restrain themselves from bombing other countries' civilian populations.
dude spend two min googling ‘Chinese atrocities from 1900’
like again I really don’t want to frame this like the US is the good guy, the US is not, but as a matter of scale currently China is still worse
China has been worse than Nazi Germany
all that said, US is trying real hard to be #1 in something again so yay!
fuck I hate this
Ok, I did that exact thing verbatim, and the entire first page of results are things that happened before anyone here was born.
I'm not about to claim they're saintly in any way, for sure they have lots of well-documented internal issues with civil liberties, free speech, and oppression of minority groups, but the fact that you're going so far into the past to make your case just makes it a case in support of the opposite view.
Also the first result is literally a rebellion against invading foreign powers lmao.
recency bias, there are people still alive that were directly impacted
but thank you for actually reading about it
but yes the US is bad, i’m not defending it
but sure as fuck China doesn’t get to hand wave the past away
and not all of their evils have stopped
they’re just not being currently ran by an orange buffoon
the US had evil shit going on under Obama and yet the world image of the US was much better then
lol, by that argument you're a bedwetter who suckles on your mother's breast and doesn't know how to read or write
what a waste of both our time
You realize there has been three China since 1900? Qing dynasty -> Republic of china -> Current China. Also wtf are you even saying? You know the first thing that comes out from "Chinese atrocities from 1900" in google is the boxer's rebellion? A push back from the people against the invading foreign powers that were starving China? This is like blaming Hamas/Hezbollah for pushing back against Israel, which i imagine you also disapprove of. Truth is that for most of the 19/20th century, China has been a recipient of atrocities by foreign invaders not a perpetrator, you should be aware of this if you're so aware about the scale of China.
Do explain how China has been worse than Nazi Germany, sounds like delusion.
i’m not going to repeat myself it’s in the last post
You didn't explain anything anywhere though?
Downplaying the genocide carried out by the nazis is actually sickening, and i'm sick of people whitewashing them.
Did you hit your head as a baby?
Nothing Iran has ever done is even comparable to what Israel and the US have done in the past 3 years alone.
Of all the countries that need to be dissolved entirely as political entities, Israel and US are far higher on the list than Iran
Hello Iranian bot, nice to meet you.
israel hae to make sure they weren't out evillled (?) be iran
