Here is some "propaganda" for you to refute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_in_Iran

Following the pro-Shah coup d'état that overthrew the Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in 1953, the Shah again cracked down on his opponents, and political freedom waned. He outlawed Mosaddegh's political group the National Front, and arrested most of its leaders.[13] Over 4000 political activists of the Tudeh party were arrested,[14] (including 477 in the armed forces), forty were executed, another 14 died under torture and over 200 were sentenced to life imprisonment.[13][15][16]

During the height of its power, the shah's secret police SAVAK had virtually unlimited powers. The agency closely collaborated with the CIA.[17]

According to Amnesty International's Annual Report for 1974–1975 "the total number of political prisoners has been reported at times throughout the year [1975] to be anything from 25,000 to 100,000."[18]

Wow, that is super fucked up. I hope somebody overthrows the Shah.

You seem like the kind of guy that would say we have to vote for Hindenburg over Hitler.

Only one of the seals slipped and fell off a ladder. The other guy decided to jump in after him. This is apparently what seals are trained to do, so critical support for navy seal training?

Yup. Maintaining the status quo is easier than changing it. Even the tiny little bit Democrats try to change.

Why was Trump able to make so many changes? Was it because he was a better statesman than Biden?

I'd tell you not to dox yourself but honestly that doesn't narrow it down that much.

I wonder if it would be possible for everyone to live in a commune. ~~A giant global commune~~ A massive commune system within a single country.

How long ago was Roe v. Wade decided? How many opportunities have the democrats had to legislate it into law? Why did they never bother to do it?

They do exist, it's mostly Hindutva nationalists.

Sorry that the Soviets prevented the West from putting as many Nazis in charge of Germany as you would have wanted.

It's a shame he got banned. I wanted to know if he was a CIA agent or a Navy Seal.

Could you tell us what sort of power you've been entrusted with?
