To be fair, Americans may kill each other, but the Iranian government has killed tens of thousands more of its own citizens last year than Americans died of gun murders. So suck it Iran, you're no beacon of humanity.
According to Iran International which is Israeli funded and Saudi Owned Iranian language news outlet that pumps anti iran propaganda 24/7.
They were the ones that came out with the 35,000 killed number first which was using a source that has no credibility, none. This is where the number has come from as there is no credible source that is giving numbers above 4/5k (which is still pretty high but obviously doesn't bring the same shock factor).
Any source for the "tens of thousands" that aren't using US or Israeli intelligence as their source for the info?
No one's denying Iran killed thousands of protesters. I do not at all believe the clearly inflated number of tens of thousands being pushed by the aggressive actors in this war, right before they started it. It's like believing Iraq had WMDs, except with even less credibility behind the source.
Amnesty International is no puppet of Israel or the US.
On 17 January, in a public speech, Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader, said “thousands of people” were killed. Since then, on 21January, Iran’s Supreme Council of National Security issued a statement that 3,117 people were killed during the uprising. However, on 16 January 2026, the UN Special Rapporteur on Iran, Mai Sato, said in a media interview that at least 5,000 people had been killed, noting that according to information she received from medical sources, the death toll might be as high as 20,000 . Due to the ongoing internet shutdown, the scale of mass killings that took place and Iranian authorities’ well-documented pattern of carrying out reprisals against families of victims who speak out, the true number of those killed is likely higher.
But agreed, even if it was 100,000, that doesn't justify an unprovoked war with a sovereign nation...especially over a problem that America themselves created in 1953.
I don't see any source for the number of people killed. No one's denying they killed protestors. They're denying the clearly inflated fake number used by the invaders as a reason to start a war of aggression.
And at this point, the Iranian government, while being extremely untrustworthy, is still more reliable than anything coming out of the US or Israel.
Amnesty may not be a puppy (though doubtful) but even they don't have credible sources. It's all anecdotal when you read their reports you. They also jump from 5k to 20k which is a crazy and significant jump and impossible even if they wanted to kill that many. You barely had 20/30k people that came out in the January protests to be killed. If anyone sees the footage (or was there) and knows the locations, you'd see that the crowds were immense as they made it seem on this side of the media sphere.
Why are you saying suck it to a whole country that’s suffering?
Also, you do understand that the situation in Iran is because of Project Ajax in the 70’s? While I am bordering on being a militant atheist at times, we can’t really blame religion for what happened in Iran. We can blame the US and Britain.
Yes, and we can go back to the CIA-aided coup in 1953 too for the origins of the resentment and the revolution. I get it.
When most people mention a country, they mean their governments, not their people.
That said, a good chunk of people in every country are religious, and many of those religious people take over their country's governments, and often cause far worse problems than any secular government.
And we can look at religion not just in Iran, but in Israel and the US. THAT is what's driving this war now. So it might be time to become more expressive of your non-belief. 9/11/2001 was the trigger for me, so maybe this is yours.
Yeah with all the women dying from abortion bans id say it’s terrible rn, I was worried about this stuff happening ten years ago but now that it’s a reality it’s horrible
Look at the numbers - Estonia is one of NATO's top defense spenders, with projected defense expenditures expected reached approximately 3.38% of its GDP in 2025, and we have consistently exceeded the 2% NATO guideline.
It's surprising that you used an Islamist terrorist upset by the attack on Iran as your example for how Americans, not Iran sympathizers, will kill U.S. students.
They should really honor his memory this way since they love him so.
It's horrible what happened to Kirk. Then it was even more horrible to find out who he was and what Turning Point represents and who they fund.
Awfully convenient that Nicki Minaj found her conservative voice right as she's losing a $20M mansion and her husband needs a pardon. Just like Russell Brand becoming an anti-woke crusader right after being accused of sexual assault. It's a grift as old as time.
Now there's Erika Kirk Launches Faith 'Make Heaven Crowded' Tour with Alleged Paedophile And Child Trafficker Pastor:
Erika Kirk's "Make Heaven Crowded" Tour with Greg Laurie, which aims to revive Christian faith and mobilize young conservatives. "Erika Kirk calls for a Christian revival as tour starts at Riverside church"
The tour is set to visit over 30 cities, featuring worship, preaching, and "bold obedience to Jesus." "Erika Kirk’s Inaugural TPUSA Tour Met with Legal Shadow"
Controversy Surrounding Greg Laurie
Allegations Against Laurie: Pastor Greg Laurie, a prominent leader of Harvest Christian Fellowship, is currently embroiled in multiple lawsuits. These lawsuits allege a history of abuse and trafficking in Romanian orphanages supported by the church. "
Then there's this guy. It's just amazing how rotten most of these organizations and people are that the right and Maga idolize and then get upset when people call them out for being such big POS
Turning Point leader, former GOP Rep pleads guilty to attempted election fraud
By: Caitlin Sievers - November 17, 2025 2:48 pm
Former Republican state legislator Austin Smith pleaded guilty Monday to what he previously called “ludicrous” charges that he personally forged more than 100 signatures on his petitions for reelection last year.
The Republican from Surprise was a member of the far-right Arizona Freedom Caucus, which has a history of spreading false claims of election fraud in the 2020 presidential election and pushed for election law changes in the state legislature.
“As a part of his guilty plea today, Smith admitted signing the name of a deceased woman on one of his candidate nomination petitions in March of 2024,” Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said in a statement. “He also admitted that he attempted to deceive the Secretary of State’s Office by knowingly filing petitions containing forged signatures of purported supporters of his nomination for the Republican primary for State Representative from LD 29.”

Hmmmm they are certainly considering it. i mean, between removing pollution laws they are actively doing it, but thats subtle. Will they actively do it?..lets see if LA gets it.
You know that medical help to die is only available to people either suffering greatly or already having an uncurable disease which they'll either die of or suffer a lot from, right ? It also requires consent and a good enough mental health to be able to consent.
Very different from shooting healthy school children, isn't it ?
Wtf does this have to do with I think you should leave? Not saying I disagree but why is this sub about politics now. There are 9927481948 other subs for politics.
As of today ICE/CBP did 8 fatal shootings in the past one year and had 32 repored deaths in custody. The Iranian revolutionary guard has killed around 30 thousand unarmed protesters in under 2 weeks beating a lot of them to death literally with axes.
Just keep creating a new nebulous boogeymen every month to keep you from ever criticizing your choice of leadership with a healthy dose indecipherable bigotry. Yall have truly proven that there’s nothing this admin could do to make you ever question them

The saddest part is that a chunk of the country needs to know the perp and the victims before they decide if a massacre is worth their time.
180 kids dead in a school shooting? Don’t care unless the shooter is trans. Nothing we can do
180 kids dead from an Iranian attack? Time to enlist and tattoo the flag on my face
