Seems like Iran is the role model for many Americans. Land of the free is nothing but a sad joke. 🤥
Remember the country was started by a bunch of religious crazies that were being perse- I mean, properly called out for their insanity back in Europe. So they decided to come here and commit theft, rape, and genocide, so they could abuse their families without those pesky others telling them it was wrong.
I think there was a hunger situation too, but yes there were a good deal religious fanatics from the start.
I'm pretty sure Europe did the same thing on an even larger scale. Napoleon, Dutch East India Company, the English, Conquistadors, the rape of Africa etc.
Doing it because religion is somehow worse than doing it because of greed?
Yes. Greed is at least real. Edit: Also, doing it for religion is cowardice: you’re just shifting the responsibility away from you & onto god. The greedy are at least sane & lucid for their atrocities.

Only in an unfree society does the concept of freedom become a religion.
American conservatives have always been jealous of Iran for living the life they want: a crushing theocratic regime who punishes everyone except for an elite clique.
Yes they love authoritarian bullshit, that's why so many of them are also borderline if not full fledged fascists.
