    Yeah, like that ^

    They use huge whataboutisms to excuse the extremely oppressive regime running the country currently, as though any criticism is unreasonable.

        Who said anything about ‘prison population?’

        I said “extremely oppressive” which is objectively factual. They have a ‘supreme leader’ who legally controls the police, the military, the executive branch of govt and most facets of peoples lives. The ruling party is legally allowed to repress other parties, and so on… And so forth…

        They are clearly arguing in bad faith, I refuse to believe someone is this disconnected with reality. Good job on explaining stuff tho comrade.
