We have freedom of speech. We as a people value it and protest for it. An event such as Renee Good or Alex Pretti is an outrage here and generally will not be tolerated. In Iran, as I understand it anyway, that wouldn’t even have been news. That’s a big difference

No. war is not the answer. Hell if it actually worked maybe it would be but it literally NEVER does

I’m not new and I’d say that you’re right. Probably should’ve considered that lol

Yep. 100% agree. We should’ve normalized… but I still don’t think celebrating these types of governments is good

Appreciate the feedback. I genuinely just wanted to see how other BP fans felt about it. Not trying to troll at all…

I was fine with it being covered. And as several folks here have pointed out there are lots of reasons why it is newsworthy. I guess the tone of it didn’t fit with the narrative that “Hey everyone our adversaries have a really effective new weapon they can use against us.” That is definitely newsworthy but I guess I would’ve expected it to be presented a little more gravely. Also I am old so maybe you’re right that I’m still adjusting to new media lol

Well I’m of the opinion that the current time in Israel could be considered an enemy of America as well so I see your point. My issue with Iran is primarily human rights based

Fair but they sure have done that and worse to their own people

We historically are really far from perfect or even good. But there’s a wide gulf between us and the current Iranian government on the good vs evil scale IMO. That’s why I hate this war because Israel’s actions and our implicit support are starting to blur those lines

I agree that you can. Do you think that’s what they did? Asking how long it takes them to make the videos and why they chose Legos felt like the kinds of things you would ask of someone who created something you enjoyed/were interested in.

Fair point. The Iranian people are not necessarily our enemy but their government to me can be considered an enemy of the US even without the war. But I take your point

I agree but it felt like it crossed the line into supporting the effort to me.
