Iranian Nobel laureate suffers suspected heart attack in prison, family says

Yes. And, being obedient to a criminal government is a capitulation of your own human rights.

I'm very aware of the oppression of the state. But, a paper cut vs bullets? Did you not understand what I wrote about the history of Black Americans, or Japanese Americans, or f****** Indiginous Americans and First Nations Peoples? This is comparing bullets to bullets at least. And, I haven't even mentioned the whole system of anti-union organization in the US where men, women, and children were gunned down in the streets for expressing their right to organize against the opression of giant corporations who believed it was their right to pay people in fake money they invented, while charging these workers twice what they made in housing, food, and clothes (that they could only buy from the company owned store, because remember fake money the company made up), which essentially created a "non-slavery" slave class of mostly white people generationally endebted to the wealthy. To even attempt to disregard a historical consistancy of the oppression of people in the US by the government and corporations who were supported by the US government, by saying it's not as bad as someone else's oppression is a joke. And, I'm not, in any way trying to minimize the oppression of Persian, Kurdish, Mizrahi, or other ethnic minorities in Iran, or even non-islamic peoples in general. I'm merely stating that the US is in no way shape or form an exemplar state when it comes to not oppressing populations. Furthermore, what does a government sanctioned protest do, beyond show acceptance of the status quo of their rule of law? If the fight being forged is against the law, because the law it's self is unjust, why would anyone agree to follow the rules written by the ones who oppress? Again, I go back to jim crow laws barring Black Americans from living freely because of the color of their skin. If they had not risen up against the law that oppressed them, they would never have risen above the class they were forced to live within. And, you wanna know something even worse? It never actually stopped. Those laws changed, but the racism didn't and new laws were enacted to continue their oppression. HOAs were created to keep Black Americans out of specific communities. Religious schools were created to keep Black Americans away from white children (why do you think the republican party is so hard for school vouchers for religious schools?) Red lining was common up until the 90s, and truely still exists through gentrification. I mean, f*** dude, the US government is currently rounding up, imprisoning and murdering hispanics and other brown peoples because of racism. They're building god damn concentration camps at this moment to house hundreds of thousands, and the current administration has been vocal about plans to deport 100m people. If you don't think that ends in gas chambers, you haven't read history books. Edit: since you made a statement about my edits that I can't read, because you deleted yours, they were edited for typos and to add points.
