By your standards, civilization in the United States has been dead for a long time and shows no signs of revival.

Where in the US is:

happening?

I suspect you know that's an outlandish thing to claim.

If you’re alleging there is little to no violence against women, protestors, or LGBTQ people in the states, then there’s nothing to talk about.

If your argument is that it’s the specific qualitative form of the violence that deprives Iran of civilization but not the United States, that’s simply absurd. There’s nothing especially anti-civilization about acid or nooses.
