A bombshell new report from CBS News suggests that the Iranian Government has murdered between 12,000 and 20,000 protesters since the ongoing, national revolt against it began.

“Information trickling out of Iran on Tuesday suggests that a crackdown by authorities to end more than two weeks of widespread anti-government protests has likely been far more deadly than activists outside the country have reported,”

    Oh yes, blame the rise of fascism on the people whose sole goal it is to stop fascism. Real genius here.

    If someone punches you and says shut up or Im gonna punch you even harder, the correct response is not to shut up.

        Doesnt really matter who exactly is meant. They are saying theres a group of people who ‘pushed’ the right to extremism. Thats just bullshit. This was the goal from the start and its noone but them pushing it with lies and hate.

            Yes. They very much are intending to cause harm with every step. I’m old enough to know, they’ve been doing this all my life. The violence didn’t start when you decided it started, it’s been happening a long ass time.

            Not all conservatives are extremists, but those who are were very much predisposed imo. And even if none of them were, they dont end up extremists by being pushed by the left. Sure some of them might use that as an excuse or even believe it themselves.

            They sure as hell always end up in the extremes no matter where they pretend to begin.

            That’s like saying Jews pushed Nazis to commit the Holocaust, or Palestinians pushed Israel to commit the Gaza genocide (Americans do say that…).

            Listen to yourself.
