Right, the fact finding mission couldn't establish mass rapes (because no footage showed rape) or beheaded babies, but mass genital mutilation, injuries in the genital area consistent with rape and "attempted or complete beheadings of victims".

To counter you anecdotal evidence: my partner fled from Iran 4 years ago and still has a lot of friends and family there. All of them would love see this regime fall, so much so, that her friends went out to protest One of them was arrested, tried and found guilty of corruption on earth. He was to not leave the country for five years and was threatened with an even harsher punishment, if he took part in protests again.
He took to the streets the day after his release.
These people hate their government with a burning passion. Doesn't matter what Israel does, they would love to see this occupational regime fall.
Over my dead body! Just because an authority says something unacceptable is acceptable doesn't make it so. See also: the Israeli government committing genocide.
Maybe this isnt the right place to interject here: but yes, it now also means figuratively. Not because an authority said so, but because a sizable portion of native english speakers use it to mean figuratively.
Thats how language works.
And you will die on a linguistically untenable hill. Redefining words had happened throughout history and language hasnt died out and its not gotten worse.
There are different levels of trying. Any criminal tries to cover up their crimes, some go to more extreme measures than others. For example, when you raise the penalty for rape to the death penalty, more rapes turn into murders.
Im not saying that you shouldnt punish police violence harder, I just think that there is always more cover up possible. The fact that people are even allowed to talk about this, shows that more Cover up is possible.
Iran incentivized coverups in a very different way. I see that that didnt come across.
Once again: if you think, it cant get worse in the coverup department than america, you are wrong.
It isnt even a cool idea. The city would be completely unusable: Most cities are somewhat circular to minize distances. The line maximes distances. No organic city growth, instead you have an extremely limiting footprint that allows no out ward expansion. Narrow street and high rise buildings sound like an absolut nightmare to me.
And dont get me started on all of the "artificial moon, robot dinosaur, human gene editing" bullshit.
It bugs me when people say "the thing is is that" (if you listen for it, you'll start hearing it... or maybe that's something that people only do in my area.) ("What the thing is is that..." is fine. But "the thing is is that..." bugs me.)...
Anytjing that marquis de sade wrote. Dont read it. Its the work of someone who pretended to "pose interesting questions" while write the worst rape fanfiction with his dick in his hand.
Trigger warning: just straight up awful assault
!There is a scene in which a father is forced to raped his underaged daughter and then gets shot while cumming inside her. The daughter of course gets spared. Oh wait no. She gets raped a gun point, mutilated and then rape killed again. Repeat this fof roughly 400 pages. Oh wow, so challenging and insightful! I truly believe that de Sade was horrified by this! Fuck off. !<

No no, please dont say anything bad about anyone who opposes Israel. Israel is objectively bad, therefore any opposition must be good. Please do not apply nuance. Thats fascist propaganda and bothsidedism.
An Iranian teenager was sexually assaulted and killed by three men working for Iran's security forces, a leaked document understood to have been written by those forces says....
I dont know, does your prison system allow for the rape of virgins who have received the death penalty because otherwise theyd to heaven? Have you ever picked up a rapper who critized the government, tortured him, released him and when he spoke up about his torture, the üolice arrested him again and sentenced him to death?
Y'alls police ever shot a bystander to protest in the stomach and then killed anyone who tried to help her? Police ever busted a police violence victims funeral by killing attendants?
Because the fucking iranian basij force did all of that within the last year.
Yeah american police is probably in the bottom 5 of western police forces, but its not "shooting 1,500 people in the streets because they didnt like gas price hike" bad.
Hello everyone! Today we're talking about the pro-Palestinian anti-war encampment protests which have begun in college campuses around the country, and the effectiveness of such live-in protests.
We also have videos of IDF shooting people trying to reach food drops. And video of IDF bombing a fucking aid convoi 3 times before completely destroying it.
We have Videos of the idf entering a hospital, pointing at shift list and claiming they found concrete evidence of terrorists.
The IDF shot 3 hostages, thinking they were hamas. Why? Because they wore gazan clothing.
The IDF does currently not distinguish between civilians and combatants. By virtue of living in gaza, you are a target. That approach failed in Afghanistan, that approach failed in Vietnam and that approach will fail in Gaza.
And good fucking luck convincing the remaining gazans not to join a terrorist org when they have seen their families getting blown to shit by a country that says: "we will turn your city into a parking lot. You are animals. You are less than human."
God fucking damn it, we have never defeated terrorism by bombing their civilian base to shit.
Fucking baffling to me how the most armed country in the world doesnt train their officers.
German police tends to suck ass, but to become a policeman you have to study for 3 years. And you have to pass a lot of law exams.
That feature still works for you? I used to be able to skip ads on the ad by blocking them. Now the ad just finishes playing AND pops up again during the next ad break.
And other lies you can tell yourself.
Dont get me wrong, i am more aligned with anarchist thought than any other leftist denomination, but holy shit we cant be this naive.

Most Bullies experience domestic violence before they abuse their fellow students. Most child rapists have experienced child molestation. Traumatization does not fix people, it does not correct people, it breaks them.
An eye for an eye is a shit way to actually run a society. My partner comes from a society that executes people for "violating the social contract". It is an absolut shithole of a justice system, in which prisoners are completely dehumanized and I do not wish for anyone to live under that particular system of justice.
Its not about civility, its about absence of cruelty
Mine was a Wild Magic Sorcerer that vehemently believed he was a regular city guardsman and explained every bit of magic he produced away as pure happenstance.
Not mine, but a collaborativr effort:
Young dryad loses physical body and is imprisoned in a robotic shell. She escapes and now all of her former magical druid powers are a combination of mechanical contraptions and just a dash of magic. She runs on magic energy, but her acid spray cantrip is truly a small vaporizer embedded in her palm. Really cool, but the Player stop playing that char vecause we restricted her wild shape to much :/ in hindsight, i really dont like my dming decisions regarding that char
