You recognize that the crazy religious leader was a USA elected insaneo guy yeah?
And the revolution removed said insane religious dude, which USA really disliked.
USA is the problem, not Iran or the religion of its citizens.

What a limp dick military the entire country of Iran has. They need to stop reading religious books while oppressing women and start reading strategy books while praising women.

Iran: oppressing women, religion, wasting ressources, limp dick
USA: praising women, rational thought, outperforming, big potent dick
To me this looks like binary construction of reality, wich helps to avoid critique of your own society by externalizing it on the outside. Just an idea, but this might be interesting to consider: How is the US doing on “praising women” lately? How about bad decisions being justified with religion? Directing ressources? (Distribution of wealth)
And does the Penis metaphor actually help you to find an adequate critical stance to politics and your society?
Will this way of going about critique/understanding of our societies help us?
Maybe, does it help the permaboner, christian, antifeminist, billionairfriendly “performers”?

Not sure what the U.S has to do with this but you’re right. All religious people should be put in asylums.

I picked up that theme in the post I’m referring to. It fits the western narrative of potency

Are you arguing that they should have tried harder? They launched the attack to show they will respond to actions like Israel’s bombing of their embassy in Syria, and have now stated they consider the attack is concluded. Israel, on the other hand, has already given their security council the go-ahead to respond so they don’t need to get any further approval for whatever they decide.

I’m arguing that they shouldn’t respond by Leeroy Jenkins their entire fleet of drones and rather spent their money on fucking improving the lives of the people in their own country.

You mean like Israel used diplomacy when it bombed the Iranian embassy, literally the most undiplomatic thing you can do?
As far as spending money on improving people’s lives, that’s not bad advice but it’s also terribly hypocritical coming from (I assume) a US point of view. The US should stop spending the many, many billions of dollars sent to Israel to kill dirt-poor oppressed innocents and improve the lives of their own citizens. Then there would be no need to institutionally violate human rights like in the case of forced prison labor which earns Alabama alone 450 million a year and is just legalized slavery. I mean, literally just yesterday it was reported that Florida signed a law prohibiting worker protections from overheating. The US claiming the “protection of life quality” high ground is becoming less believable by the day. Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

Don’t know why you are trying to steer the conversation away with what-about-isms when the topic I am talking about is concerning the peanut brain Iranian military getting their entire fleet of millions of dollars shot down without any consideration of air defense making it the equivalent of setting a pile of money on fire instead of improving their country.
A single US state is North America can out produce the entire country of Iran and has better quality of life and personal freedom.
