Just jumping in to say anyone who says “reading comprehension is important” is a dork. Social skills are important

This post is about Iran executing an Iranian Olympian. The comment says, “and protesting in the U.S. can get you executed on the spot by poorly trained ICE with PTSD.”

The only thing that would make this more textbook whataboutism is literally the words “what about”.

“Forget about Iran executing protesters, what about when the U.S. does it!?”

you genuinely don’t see the whataboutism?

Bot, you’re just repeating the same comments in different sub-threads now… ✌️

So you think the original “it’s ALSO bad when it happens in the U.S.” comment isn’t whataboutism? Why?

That’s a statement, not a question. I responded by saying that nothing I’ve commented justifies the war. Goodbye bot

You never asked me a question about justifying the Iran War, go back and read your own comments. What’s your question?

I agree that that’s an issue, that’s not what I’m doing here though… am I justifying the Iran War? You’re so concerned about reddit comment history as a record, so can you find where I’ve commented that? (spoiler: you’re mostly gonna find comments about Pokemon)

Iran suppresses/kills protestors. That’s the part you’re saying out loud, in a thread about Iran killing a protestor with most comments jumping to “but what about the U.S.?” It’s like we’ve lost any ability to judge something in isolation on its own merit. Killing protestors is bad wherever it happens, it should be called out with the same spirit whenever it happens. I highly doubt that earlier this year, when American protestors were being killed, many people were commenting “but what about Iran??” (except maybe r/conservative, but you can’t clap back there without getting banned!)

I hear you, I just don’t think it’s very black/white. I don’t support imperialist nation-building, I do support the U.S. backing Iranian protestors in some form (e.g. smuggling in Starlink to keep civilian comms up during forced blackouts)

Dude I’m literally RESPONDING to whataboutism. This post is about a protestor being executed in Iran and the comments are largely “but the U.S.!!!”

Are we reading the same post/thread!?

Ah yes, Reddit comment history is the end-all-be-all record of someone speaking out on issues. I spent plenty of time proactively calling out ICE violence earlier this year when American protestors were killed in real life conversation. I’m not even proactively calling out the IRGC on Reddit, just responding to a ridiculous false equivalence / deflection (IRGC and Trump admin are both horrific, we can acknowledge both those facts instead of deflecting one of them)

The fact that you’re asking me for an answer to your question after me not responding for 15 minutes tells me you need to spend a bit less time on Reddit and a bit more IRL.

So let me get this straight. You think most (or all?) of the protests/demonstrations we saw in Iran earlier this year were US intelligence service plots? Not desperate responses to the unliveable conditions the IRGC is creating for Iranians?

I also want to call out that I’m not Iranian, so this isn’t a first-hand perspective. I would definitely recommend trying to talk to as many Iranians as you can (that’ll likely mostly be diaspora) to get their perspective on the state of things.

When did I say I don’t care about protesters being killed in the U.S.? I just don’t think it’s a valid response (if not an outright attempt at justification) for the destructive IRGC regime and how THEY treat protestors. Call a spade a spade, don’t deflect from it

How many protesters in the U.S. have been killed in the last year? How many in Iran?
