    Plus it’s a government, of course I’m going to shit on it.

    Tell me again how an administration picked by the people with an open ledger to manage consolidated resources in a manner of the people’s choosing needs to be shat on. Do you hate government, or do you see only imperfect examples and don’t lift a vote to hopefully evolve them?

      You’d be surprised how little a population is able to choose its own administration, or the actions that that admin should take. Spam them with enough propaganda, for long enough, and they’ll convince themselves it’s in their best interests to sell their soul to Satan.

      Note this doesn’t apply just to Iran, but to every single other government out there. That’s part of my point anyway; showing critical support towards the Iranian gov in this situation is fine, but let us not fool ourselves by pretending it’s a white vs. black matter — it’s grey vs. black.

      I hate governments. Plural.
