Remember when Iran had a liberal democracy and leaders who modeled their constitution after the US founding documents? Sure is a shame the UK redbaited the US into overthrowing that government and installing the Shah. It's almost like installing puppet dictators leads to extremists rising to power.

The claim was simple: If you can’t distinguish between the nuclear threat of a Western democracy versus a theocracy based on primitive religious doctrine, you’re retard (or your fragile ego is so invested that you effectively act like a retard).

Your response? ‘But Western intervention!’ Sure, that played a role. So did centuries of fundamentalist religious ideology.

Now - and try to stay on topic this time - do you see ANY difference between Iran having nukes and Israel having nukes? do you think it would be reasonable at some point to try to prevent it militarily?

On topic:

- I see that Iran having nukes would be similar to China and Russia and Israel having nukes, where it concerns the United States' safety. They would be a threat. Israel is an indirect threat as they are currently our "ally" but their insistent manipulation destabilizes everything and everyone so therefore I put them in the same threat group.

- No

That was indeed on topic. Now find out which group you belong.

Well that's very broad. You want me to find out which group I belong to? Just in general? Or are you asking me to pick a side in a specific issue?

“If you can’t distinguish between the nuclear threat of a Western democracy and the nuclear threat of dictatorial theocracy based on primitive religious doctrine, you’re either a retard or your fragile ego is so invested that you effectively act like a retard”

Oh that. That phrase has too many logical fallacies to even know how to respond. I'm sorry.

Some things that stand out though: "democracy" is incorrectly attributed to one place, I'm assuming Israel. And "primitive religious doctrine" being the basis of government seems to apply to both. The last part has me at a loss. Seemed to be boxed in there if I disagree on any of the points. I'll let you pick. I'm fine with either retard or fragile ego masking as a retard.

Vincent 6mo ago

Yeah, if you apply “based on primitive religious doctrine” to both those countries equally you are definitely a retard

Cal P 6mo ago

Well I guess that ends that then. Retard over and out
