    Can someone provide some sources for that 35k number? It’s just too outlandish for me to accept it so easily. Iran is an authoritarian theocratic dictatorship but atrocity propaganda is still a very real thing that western media does to justify foreign interventions. Both can be true; the Iranian regime can be murdering its citizens and the western reporting can be fluffing the numbers to manufacture consent for the war.

    Even if you push numbers a little you can’t get above 15k per day though

      I don’t think anyone is claiming 15,000 killed per day by Iran, considering that 35k is the high estimate for total number of civilians murdered in the streets by Iran in the past year.

          Yes, because the Nazis had literal factories to murder their victims in. The industrialization of the killings is part of what made the Holocaust to terrible.

          Not sure what to think about this

          What do you mean by that?

            I don’t like genocides so it’s sad in one way or another. Whether it’s the holocaust, what happens in Iran, or in Gaza. If I remember well you can’t say the same, Duke_Nukem

              Well, you remember shit then.

              I don’t like genocides

              Oh really? The one going on in animal factories as well or are you chosing to conveniently exclude that one?

              Also, again, what did you mean by “Not sure what to think about this?”

                  Good job sneakily editing the comment I guess?

                  Don’t see how any of that shows that I am not against genocide unilaterally or how I am “anti-gaza” lol Maybe include even less context to what I was answering to next time, I am sure it will make your argument stronger.

                  It does show that you fell victim to the same divide&conquer methods I criticise in the screenshot (unless you are an agitator of that strategy yourself of course. Which isn’t too unlikely with your whole “ohh how many people were murdered in the Holocaust, nOt SurE wHat tO tHinK aBouT tHaT”).
