Right now, the US is supporting attack after attack on schools in Gaza. I'm not cherry picking anything here. This is just the result of searching "school" on an Al Jazeera RSS feed. All of these massacres have happened in the last two months and not a single one has had near enough media coverage as some lunatic shooting up a school in the West. Some of those demonic shells of people that only cry over massacres in the US might say something about "oh but that's Israel, not the US". To those people, I say, fuck you. The US does it too, you testicle brained buckaroo. You don't fucking care about children dying. You support a government that has committed massacres miles worse than any gunman, and one that currently is committing massacres on the daily. They don't care about kids. They don't care about safety. They don't care about education. They only care about keeping white kids safe.

So if you're doing this, shut the fuck up and recognize nothing domestically is even half as important as the genocide going on. Any "harm reduction" you support that involves keeping the genocide going isn't harm reduction. It's sacrificing Palestinians to make your life just a little better. It's sacrificing kids, doctors, mothers, sisters, and brothers. It's sending young men to a painful death from bombs and it's sending old ones to slow organ failure. You're single issue is healthcare in the US? Fuck you. At least you have hospitals that aren't being bombed in the daily. You only care about your own kind. You are the "America first" types you claim to hate.

There is no fate cruel enough for those that support the United States.

Specifics aside, Iran is not a shining example of humanity or morality. Yet it's a more moral nation than the United States.

“What all these gentlemen lack is dialectics… they do not see that here nothing is absolute and everything relative. For them Hegel has never existed.” — Engels

You’re taking a very undialectical approach to the issue, where the problems within Iran (age of marriage here), stemming in large part from economic problems brought on by Western and particularly US imperialism, are proof of the “moral” quality of Iran as compared to the US, and, so too, Iran’s underdevelopment brought upon by these factors in main being its “moral” pride compared to the US as it cannot oppress other nations to nearly the same degree and often must act against national oppression.

The very idea of the comparison of the “morality” of nations like Iran and the US is beyond nonsense.
