I saw some statistic here on Lemmy the other day about how most Southern states in the US have the most like detainment or conviction or incarceration rates in the world, only followed by El Salvador.
Our government abuses our citizens so fucking much
Two things can be true at once. Telling an American they aren’t allowed to criticize any government in existence because their own is also bad is asinine.
25 people were executed in the US last year. At least 975 people were executed in Iran.
The US population is about 3.7 times that of Iran.
Maybe the death penalty is a good deterrent after all. If your point is the Iranians are more liberal with how they deal with crime, I don’t think that’s valid.
Do Americans think themselves better for how they treat their own citizens? Because they lock up more of their own than even North Korea.

Not disagreeing, especially as of lately…

My point is that you’re both monsters.
Dude, 95% of the Americans on here aren’t the problem. MAGA isn’t on Lemmy other than a few trolls.
Direct your energy at the people in power, not the random civilians you interact with.
By using this logic you can only live in an aristocracy and never a democracy.
It’s called anarchism, read a book
