Are we doing Iran cosplay now?
American: sees something american happening americanly in America:
"What are we, a bunch of ASIANS???!!!!"
I don't get your thought process.
Your brain jerks to "look at these evil Muslims" when something obviously western happens in the west. Militarized police terrorizing minorities is literally as USA/European as it gets.
My thought process is that measuring repression using "le evil regime from another culture" is at its core a racist thing to do.
Iran estimated death figures range from 3000 to 30000. And they're trying to overthrow the government.
Over 500 of the dead were agents of the government. Iran doesn't even have a 2A. How many government agents have you Americans gotten this far with your guns? 0? And how many of you will be murdered by government agents if/when government agents are killed? Iran is just a couple of steps ahead of you.
