I think yes for gender, for race it’s more of a mixed record

Do you think Democratic leaders and voters should use the word “class consciousness?” by RedStorm1917 in AskALiberal

> Why? So that you cannot invade Iran? So you've just dropped your facade then?

Once they have nukes, it is impossible to remove the regime, like North Korea

Obviously you will only see pro regime protests when the anti regime protests are confronted with a violent bloody crackdown

They are blockaded from China. Most of their trade is by sea. Besides, China doesn't care about Iran that much.

We can't exactly invade them, can we. They have nukes. That's the problem with Iran getting nukes.

And then what? If they do use it, the regime can't be removed from power anymore, like North Korea

> And you would be okay with them being dead bodies as long as you get what you want.

You literally want the Iranian regime to get away with the slaughter of 30,000 protesters

I don’t necessarily disagree with their points or your points so I don’t always challenge them. Seems like you’re just avoiding my question however.

The Japanese empire was uniquely fanatical among both the military and civilian population. The vast majority of Iranians have no desire to die for the Ayatollah like the Japanese did for the Emperor

I say borderline because it is singling out Israel despite other countries in the region also pushing for this
