[–] fizzle@quokk.au -2 points 20 hours ago (3 children) I don't think that's true at all. I mean the US has kinda rapidly descended towards being evil. Iran has been evil consistently since the revolution in '79. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] moustachio@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago* (1 child) The revolution that was a response to the USA staging a coup two decades earlier to install their oil-company-friendly dictator over their democratically elected leader that thought the oil profits should benefit the people instead of international oil companies?

Israel is the closest to the NAZIs there is in behavior, including purposefully targeting children, whilst the US unwaveringly supports them and will themselves not really care enough about what they target with bombs to avoid killing children. Comparing the evilness of Iran to that of those two is like comparing the evilness of Somoza in Nicaragua with that of the NAZIs. permalink fedilink source parent [–] moustachio@lemmy.world 0 points 12 hours ago Even if that were true, Iran is irrelevant here. We are attacking them on behalf of a hostile state to the U.S. called Israel. We should be bombing Israel, not Iran. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mrdown@lemmy.world 0 points 13 hours ago Is it not. The usa is responsible of millions of deaths permalink fedilink source parent [–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago* I think the US government maybe has less "concentration of evil" but since its it got so many hands in so many pies the mass market scale of evil going on here is pretty brutal. Plus like Gaza makes the Saudi government look good by comparison. The Saudi government who regularly murders critics and has a bunch of insane laws to control people. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mrdown@lemmy.world 0 points 13 hours ago Yes sure iran was not ruled by rvil before the revolution. The shah never kidnapped, tortured, raped and killed people \s. The usa was always evil. For example the illegal Vietnam war is older than the revolution permalink fedilink source parent
