- avgcorrection 3y agoI mean go nuts with that for all I care. But the refrain “then just leave” is the most unoriginal and vapid comeback. If someone has a bad opinion or argument then it shouldn't be hard to come up with something better. Absolutely anyone under any regime—British or Iranian—can say “then leave if you don't like it”.
- fakedang 3y agoThis is just pulling a strawman argument. I'm criticizing the West for precisely destroying the way of life that you have had, in favour of some misguided sense of tolerance intermixed with arrogance. I don't need to destroy you or your way of life, because a.) I don't think about you at all and b.) you and your government are already destroying your way of life.

- fakedang 3y agoWell he didn't criticize my points or barely even read it, since my monologue was on hypocritical Western European attitudes (after all, I implored GP to "talk to his fellow countrymen in the rural parts, outside the city shells". Instead, his retort was to tell me to pack my bags and eff off.
