So, like, obviously, English isn’t your first language, but I appreciate you trying to run interference for the child rapist president who started a war so people wouldn’t talk about all the children he raped. Seems weird to do that, merely an opinion.
Ah, shit, I skipped over the XORing adult comment, he’s definitely gonna say you should be allowed to rape 17 or younger if they’re mentally mature enough or something.
Oh, it’s worse than that — under South Carolina law a marriage license can be issued to someone as young as 12 if they are pregnant or already have given birth.
🤷♂️ I try to think more about California than the red states who have been frothing at the mouth to return to the mid 1800’s. This is one of those things that I simply have to turn my brain off to.
Nah this is well beneath that, imagine thinking that the Iranians are all Islamic fundamentalists in 2026. Total cultural illiteracy. How exactly does Iran have 20x more PhD per capita that the US, an (at least) even gender split across the sciences, 95% WOMEN CHEMISTS, and also practice child marriage outside of the most rural scenarios possible? How do you think we produce development that precedes the material conditions that consistently lead to social progress? With bombs? It is the only option that liberals support with their ignorant statements.
How would this be an appropriate response to the post anyways? Is this representing a trend in Iranian society towards or against social justice by directly linking liberation of girls to liberation of the nation by military means? A missile program driven and expanded by women in STEM, if that needs to be spelled out.
Go do a little amateur social science research, and laugh at yourselves. Afterwards, learn the basic history of ISIS and sectarianism in the region, understand that Iran is the primary obstacle to ISIS and Israel raping every single child there.
Whataboutism implies that child marriage is actually a common or upwardly-trending practice in Iran! Whataboutism (a stupid term anyways) here would be me pointing out the US is making child marriage more legal & tolerated in some regions.
Nah, I stick to this meaning:
“Whataboutism” or “whataboutery” (as in, “but what about X?”) refers to the propaganda strategy of responding to an accusation with a counter-accusation instead of offering an explanation or defense against the original accusation."
Fine but I retain my general doubts about the ability of westerners to distinguish chill Shias from ISIS, let alone the non-sectarian nature of the AoR opposed to fundamentalist Sunni ISIS led by gulf monarchies
That assessment I agree with.
Apparently it’s true for a vast majority of westerners and the more true the less educated they are.
But hey, isn’t that a general problem? I mean the ability to manipulate people easier the less they’re educated?
Sure but we need to keep in mind how the most educated are managed via universities, publishing houses + magazines (yes those still exist especially the most high-falutin’ of them) etcetera, and generally controlling the information they have to work with in the first place. It’s the apartheid hoarding of education in the US that ensures even the highly-placed are ignorant where it counts, and the most prideful people imaginable.
Just to bring things full circle with the stuff about Iran’s unexpected growth of industrial capacity, I will add that it’s this very system of censorship and financialization of intellectual life that hobbles not only US ability to improve its indst. cap. but makes it blind to improvements other countries are putting in place that would unseat their established economic order. Which is why they can’t keep up with Russia, let alone Iran anymore (lol meant the other way around but it’s a funny slip and on-brand so who cares). Yes I know that’s trailing off from our discussion but people must learn of the #geniuswomen strategy

I don´t even need to pull up one of them “propaganda” news sites.
Here´s an extensive NATOpedia article about child marriages in the United States of Pedophiles.
But hey to quote you:
You´re wrong apparently because someone out there enjoys his 14 year old wife in South Carolina.
God Bless AmeriKKKa o7

Hold the fuck up… so if somebody rapes a 12yo and then convinces the family, that man can marry the kid?
That cannot be real, dude!
You would think the party of family values would have done something about it by now, right?
Edit: By the way, it’s happened at least 7000 times since 1962.
The rape is still prosecuted, right? right!

Are you trying to tell me or them? 😅

All I read was…“If they can do it, why can’t we!!!”
Richard Dawkins/Christopher Hitchens posting in big 2026 🥀
What’s an opinion? I dont get your point unless it’s just “pedophilia is bad” which yes we all agree i think?
See also “Aisha”, but not if you have a weak stomach.
