The meme does not imply there weren’t thousands of deaths lol.
The reality is, Westerners would never care about a few thousand dead Iranians. They hate brown people way too much. You tell them 36k were slaughtered and suddenly the idea of invading isn’t as questionable.
If this were “quibbling about numbers” then the US wouldn’t have to make up shit like this. The actual point of the meme went over your head fella…
No it isn’t. You might be able to interpret a study that way, if you choose to.
Actual science doesn’t work that way, it works to exclude choice and bias.
It’s very easy to find westerners who don’t hate brown people and disprove the idea. There’s literally thousands of them in every town in my country. The racists are a real problem, they’re not even a majority and they’re causing real issues.
Yeah, as a research psychologist, I always cringe so hard hearing things like this. There isn’t something special about how white people from regions we lable as “the west” express bigotry. Literally, ever human is capable of creating ingroup outgroup differentiations as illustrated from social identity theory and those can be strongly or weakly oriented towars dominance (i.e. social dominance orientation). I’ve never seen meta analytic evidence showing any subset of the human population to be significantly more prone to social dominance. The thing that makes it so brown people are viewed negatively by “westerners” is the long history of racism pushed by the ruling class to justify atrocities for profit.
Don’t be campist people, work in solidarity with each other and support your fellow man.
Please then provide a theoretical model backed by meta analytic evidence to show that this group somehow has a fundamentally different cognitive process for interacting with other groups then, I’ll wait
You should really go outside or read something that isn’t political theory or econ as you really don’t have much of an understanding of how your fellow man actually functions. Insulting people who are trying to provide you with different perspectives on how you see an issue is not going to improve yourself or the working class movement. Lead with empathy, I wish you the best.
I just love the implied racism here where America is capable of running intelligence disinformation campaigns while dirty Iranians could never be so clever. That’s why every statistic that comes out of western media sources can’t be trusted, but everything else can.
Beyond that obvious confirmation bias, there is almost no difference in how populations react to news of a few thousand deaths and thirty thousand deaths. Humans just don’t process big numbers that well on an emotional level. Intelligence organizations know that. Thirty deaths can easily have more of an impact because we can imagine it being 30 people we know.

I sat in a room in the UK this week, with 19 other people, with love and tears and anger about what is happening in Iran.
One person in this group is Iranian and another is from Turkey, so also impacted and scared.
I strongly reject the idea that westerners hate brown people as strongly as when I reject the people who claim racism isn’t a thing in the UK.
Hyperbole serves no one when it obscures Truth.
Westerners definitely hate brown people. This is literally backed by science. What the fuck are you talking about?
No it isn’t. You might be able to interpret a study that way, if you choose to.

Whoah what the fuck? Nobody implied otherwise lol. What kind of psychologist cant even read properly? You look crazy mate 🤣

You want me to prove that westerners are racist? LMFAO 🤣
No. Just admit you fell for the propaganda and this meme made you feel dumb.

It does imply that whether you intended it to or not.
If westerners hate brown people so much then why does the death total matter at all? Your statement is contradictory.
If I missed the point maybe you can explain it more clearly.
Iranians are about as brown as Americans, btw.
Muslim = brown for westerners. You gotta speak their language or they don’t get it.
