    Iran is peaceful?

    Damn, I need some of the kool aid you’re drinking.

    A peaceful country doesn’t kill women for not wearing a rapist apologist costume.

      You can, in fact, do that and still be a peaceful country. That’s not what the word peaceful means.

        You can’t have peace and be oppressing people, not really. If the oppressed stand up to the oppression, there will be fighting. So, it’s more like the early stages of a fight. The same as when you’re starting a campfire and you get a few embers, it’s not really a campfire yet, but it’s still a fire. In this case, the embers may last a long time, but the full fire is coming.

        Also, in the definition of peace is tranquility. Oppression and tranquility do not overlap.

        I think your take is probably just antiquated and contains a bit of sexism, homophobia, and racism. I don’t mean to say that you are those things, but the roots of that take come from that position. You may have just adopted a take that was already out there and didn’t challenge its premise at the time.
