Peak hypocrisy.
"I wonder what sort of pressure would have led to that..."
Religious fundamentalism and authoritarism.
Can someone provide some sources for that 35k number? It's just too outlandish for me to accept it so easily. Iran is an authoritarian theocratic dictatorship but atrocity propaganda is still a very real thing that western media does to justify foreign interventions. Both can be true; the Iranian regime can be murdering its citizens and the western reporting can be fluffing the numbers to manufacture consent for the war.
Back in February, there were 7,007 which could be confirmed by name even through the misinformation attempts of the authoritarian Iranian regime which had, by that point, shut off internet access for the civilian population. Another 11,744 were under review at the time - so around 19,000 possible deaths, most of which were after January 10.
With that in mind, another 16,000 possible deaths over two months is hardly unbelievable.
(Page 58, if you're looking for the number; page 157 onwards for the individuals)
In any case, the US-Israeli 'justification' for the war is about Iran's nuclear program, not its domestic repression.
Even if you push numbers a little you can't get above 15k per day though
~~Even if you push numbers a little you can't get above 15k per day though~~
I don't think anyone is claiming 15,000 killed per day by Iran, considering that 35k is the high estimate for total number of civilians murdered in the streets by Iran in the past year.
Most people claim it was 30k in two days
That appears to be the reality implicit in the government’s internal figure of more than 30,000 deaths in two days. A slaughter on that scale, in the space of 48 hours, had experts on mass killing groping for comparisons.

It appears your are right, it's been over 3 months https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_massacres
Which means nazis killed 12 to 15 times more jews per day than Iran is killing protesters. (Not sure what to think about this)

Yes, because the Nazis had literal factories to murder their victims in. The industrialization of the killings is part of what made the Holocaust to terrible.
Not sure what to think about this
What do you mean by that?
I don't like genocides so it's sad in one way or another. Whether it's the holocaust, what happens in Iran, or in Gaza. If I remember well you can't say the same, Duke_Nukem
Well, you remember shit then.
I don't like genocides
Oh really? The one going on in animal factories as well or are you chosing to conveniently exclude that one?
Also, again, what did you mean by "Not sure what to think about this?"
I remembered correctly

Dude you are german, we have the duty of remembrance more than anyone else.
Good job sneakily editing the comment I guess?
Don't see how any of that shows that I am not against genocide unilaterally or how I am "anti-gaza" lol Maybe include even less context to what I was answering to next time, I am sure it will make your argument stronger.
It does show that you fell victim to the same divide&conquer methods I criticise in the screenshot (unless you are an agitator of that strategy yourself of course. Which isn't too unlikely with your whole "ohh how many people were murdered in the Holocaust, nOt SurE wHat tO tHinK aBouT tHaT").

It's your comment about Palestine from 21 days ago, go look at that masterpiece and explain if you can
Just quote your investigative journalism on me? lmao
Also, since you repeatedly refused to explain your little quip about the death toll of the nazis I will just assume that you mean it the way it is written: that you are doubting the numbers of murdered jewish people. But surely, that is """anti-zionism""" again, yes?
How dare you fucking accusing me of supporting what my family died fighting against while yours was part of it. You are disgusting and I'm sure you do it on purpose
Ah yes, no more arguments so you have to resort to whatever outrage bait that is.
You also fail to quote my suppossed comment again.
"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether it be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users, as it handwaves their extremism.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
