    Oh sure, I bet there is a hugely positive ‘material outcome’ from calling the death of people bullshit, but hey, whatever you have to tell yourself to justify a shitty opinion.

    All you had to say was something like:

    “My bad, should’ve worded it differently. I meant it doesn’t justify the war”

    or something of the sort. At this point it would’ve been better to not say anything.

    But alas, here we are.

      Again, I never called their deaths “bull shit”. I called the use of their deaths as justification for invasion and the inflation of numbers (we have no way of verifying) “bull shit”.

      I didn’t mistype it. I wrote it exactly in that context of criticism of the media.

      I’d appreciate it if you answered my question from the previous comment. But, that would require you to think I guess. You only seem capable of reacting.

        Nope, not again. This is the first time you actually clarified this. Why not do so from the start? Your original comment very much reads like you think the murder of protesters is an outright lie.

        Instead you went of on a weird tirade about how no one should mention the crimes the Iranian regime has committed.

        And no, I won’t engage in your twisted attempt at using weird arguments about morality to make people that mention these crimes somehow supporters of the US invasion.
