Not our problem? It’s another country, we aren’t responsible for policing it whether or not we disagree with it

What does that have to do with the irony of what they wrote on the missile?

In Iran it’s legal. Here it isn’t, we don’t hold our leaders accountable for our own laws. Under US law the victims on the island are victims. Under Iranian law child marriage is legal and they wouldn’t be considered victims under the law. I’m not saying it’s right but you can’t look at it from a western pov

So by your logic if the age of consent in the us was 10 Epstein would have been totally fine.

“I’m not saying it right” The answer to your question is in my original comment.(which btw when you ask a question you should use the correct punctuation)

I never said it was our problem. I just pointed out the irony of their message. You are trying to create an argument where there isn’t one. It’s honestly confusing

It would be legal and thus they would face no consequences. It’s not right, but the fact is pedophilia is a crime here in the US and at the very least the US citizens on the list who had been confirmed pedos should have faced justice, but will not because they have money and know people

If it’s legal there and no issue, why write it on a missile then?

It’s just an odd thing to point out.. and I disagree with the irony, from our perspective it is ironic but from an Iranian perspective they’re criticizing us for not holding our leaders accountable to our laws.

I don’t think the laws of a theocratic dictatorship speak for all Iranians. I also don’t think it’s odd. Again by your logic it’s them going “hahaha you are a criminal for pedophilia while I enjoy the privilege of it”. It sounds more like you rightfully have issues with trump and the other assholes on the Epstein list and are aligning yourself with Iran because in this instance they said something that aligns with you.

Then the Iranians can fix that. I nor you are responsible for their moral compass or how their country is run. You time and time again refuse to look at this outside a western pov. Because to them they aren’t pedophiles, they also don’t eat, torture and murder children for fun, which you conveniently left out. Your whole “irony” argument appears to be a weakly veiled attempt to dehumanize the Iranian people.

This isn’t bad faith. Also Iran torturous and executes. They execute thousands of woman and lgbt and political dissidents every year. Fuck trump and Epstein but you don’t need to swing so hard that you start to glaze or justify the iran regime. It’s weird and it does a disservice to the Iranians who protested and fought for their rights long before this war started. It’s cute that you find humor in Iran regime propaganda. I just see it as ironic coming from the mouths of the government that

I didn’t glaze or justify them. I specifically said I didn’t think it was right. That’s a whole lot of words on something I really don’t give a shit about because it’s not my country. I do give a shit about my country and it’s leadersz Mmm yeah see I psychoanalyzed you back and you didn’t like it did you?

Is that the US government or the Iranian? Because we do all those things, including child marriage. But you haven’t brought that up have you? Which again the things you decide to omit are really odd…

Lmfao. Psychoanalyzed through a short paragraph on an anonymous app. Your ego is crazy. Also yes there are clear issues in the us but saying they are equal to life under the Iranian regime is crazy. It’s such a privileged spoiled take. Anyways grow up. Realize you can criticize the us without minimizing the struggles of the Iranian citizens or glazing an oppressive theocratic regime.

You literally did it first. I just pointed it out and put a half assed attempt because I figured it would set you off. I never equated them. I once again cause you can’t read, literally said I don’t put any weight/dont give a shit what iran does with iran because it’s not my country. You seems to be missing alot of what I’m saying. Have you had your eyes checked recently?
