Iran is operating in at a scale so far beyond anything ever seen in the US that it's completely dishonest to compare the two.

- indoordin0saur 9mo agoAs someone else pointed out, the comment originally said that the US was doing the same thing as Iran before it was edited.
- ekjhgkejhgk 9mo agoOk, when you edit your comment I'll edit mine.
- bigyabai 9mo agoThe original read "Spine-chillingly familiar" verbatim. I did not claim that the US was doing the same thing as Iran, and I changed it to make that even more clear after you tried boxing me into your interpretation.
- mikestew 9mo agoNo comparison was made, you're just reading a lot into one sentence.
- jonas21 9mo agoThe top-level comment was edited. It originally said that it was chillingly familiar to us or something along those lines.
- mikestew 9mo agoAh, thanks for pointing this out.
- aprilthird2021 9mo agoI mean, that's because the US and UK are doing that right now. I don't agree they cannot be compared
- cinntaile 9mo agoNo they are not. Neither the UK nor the US are murdering protestors at any comparable scale at this point in time.
- reliabilityguy 9mo agoDo UK and the US import Iraqi militias to suppress local unrest?
- mindslight 9mo agoAs technologists, we're used to envisioning what things are like when they are scaled up.
