I hate to break it to you, but US prisons, while maybe worse than Scandinavian ones, are on par with France, and way better than like 70% of the world.
This is not a competition who has it worse. You can acknowledge terrible things that IR does without trying to portray yourself as a victim.
You are conflating issues. As a foregone conclusion the U.S. bombing the sovereign citizens of Iran is acceptable to you, only afterwards are you and other's justifying this by cherry picking recent events. If Iran hadn't just killed protesters, it'd be because they were working on nukes, or because they've launched missiles across borders.
You blind yourself to the dozens of countries around the world doing these things and worse every day while picking and choosing enemies that are acceptable for the United States to attack like al la carte menu items. Justifying those attacks is an after thought.

To the extent that one is addressing slavery, the point is generally the number of the enslaved and not particularly their conditions (there is not a "good" way to own people).
Protesters that took to the streets, according to what I read, because the US president said he would back them. Sounds like he led them to a slaughter to generate justification.
I'm delegitimizing the US president saying things he can't back up, causing death, and getting the US into another war that the American people didn't ask for.
No. You are saying that these people died because of Trump's tweet, and not because the IR goons gunned people on the streets. Seems to me that you place the fault on Trump, rather than on those who pulled the trigger.
you, Trump & Satanyahu are not entitled to your own peaceful counter-revolution - if you want to overthrow the democratically elected government of Iran, you must bear the necessarily sacrifices
Ali Khamenei won one election and has sat there as a supreme leader ever since, that is not democracy. Deposing him is needed for democracy, there has been many protests against him.
Iran is not a democracy, it is a fake democracy since the supreme leader cannot be voted away.
This is the Zionist modus operandi. Bomb civilian targets, then claim it's a "stray weapon". When the truth comes out, just ignore it. Zionists have been the aggressors in this region since Zionism was invented.

We killed far more Indigenous Americans than that. I agree with you on the prison system though.

The US per-capita incarceration rate is ~5x that of France.
How is this related to what the person you’re replying to said?
They were responding to this:

Your threshold for desiring regime change is the murder of 30,000 people?
Nah you just bully your allies and illegally tariff the entire world, no biggy
You didn't see anyone butchering 30k protesters in 2 days, because that didn't happen.
> And no, stop your American exceptionalism
I don't think you intended to use this the way you did
You don't understand: they are getting held in civil detention before being sent back to the country they came from on a chartered plane!
True but a lot of people would like to see Netanyahu and Trump replaced with other leaders.

Protests started way before Trumps tweet.
Second, why are you legitimizing gunning down thousands of people?

I mean we just killed a bunch of children. So give it a bit of time I’m sure we can get those numbers up.
Trump is the kind of person who would kill protestors to stay in power. We all know it
Have we forgotten the huge amount of covid deaths?
Iran says we did.
I saw a report that it was an errant Iranian missile.

If you instigate a war you are responsible for all casualties.
I can understand that viewpoint, but the stories are reading as if the school was targeted.
I'll wait for some non-iranian confirmation.
