  Americans have been supporting this kind of shit for decades, they’re all complicit at this point.

    Yes, all people born into oppressive regimes that are often racistly holding them down are complicit. By that logic, the victims of apartheid states deserve it?

      They do not deserve it but they fight against it, sometimes they lose sometimes they win. Americans do not fight against it.

      There haven’t been any coups. No one has taken power by force (not since they genocided the native civilizations, at least). A vast majority of Americans have voted time and time again, for decades, for this shit, and will keep doing so if there are any elections after Taarump.

      Egoism, racism, imperialism, murder, child abuse, and runaway untethered capitalism are core American values. Basic principles upon which their culture is built. Don’t compare them to actual victims. They reap what they sow.

        I’m trying to understand the logical conclusion of your viewpoint. Do you believe even the victims of racial oppression, often also in the form of voter suppression, are responsible for all the crimes past and present of the country they found themselves trapped in?

        Are you also personally responsible for any reprehensible behavior the country you were born in has committed, past or present?

  Is it, though?

  Who voted for him? And more importantly, who did not vote at all? Because all those tards that decided for whatever reason not to vote got us here as well and with that group added, we’re talking the vast majority of Americans.

  Add to that that the best resistance we’ve seen so far were the failed and sad little no kings protests… Seriously, please look at europe on how to protest. These protests in the US did squat, nothing changed, it barely hit the news anymore.

  So yeah, between Iranians being born into a theocratic dictatorship and Americans who could and should know better, pretending to “rule the free world”, I feel Americans carry a lot more responsibility for the actions of their government than Iranians
