Imagine thinking that Iran is more of a threat to Americans than losing health insurance is.
I'm just going through this NYT Palantir article and it's just ridiculous. But I guess it's about who counts as an American and who counts as a person and it ain't many of us. And somehow the author has totally missed that.
This is as good a time as any to remind people that Iran is like that because we deposed their progressive, elected government on behalf of BP and and reinstated an autocratic puppet regime that was hellish for Iranians. We don't have the moral high ground here.
I should have made clear, progressive in terms of political forms, not socially. progressive in terms of the Shah.

"Anything goes" for people rich enough to just rattle their jewels while the peasants get harassed by moralizing Karens isn't exactly socially progressive.
So "socially progressive" in the context of the Shah is mildly confusing.
@tatzelbrumm well that's because we're on the internet and people came at me talking about women's rights because people come at you, it's the internet
