>Why should we care how a country manages their internal affairs?
The government of Iran supplies Russia with weapons used in their invasion of Ukraine, funds Houthi rebels who fire weapons indiscriminately at international shipping off the coast of Yemen, supplies terrorist groups in southern Lebanon, and advised the Syrian government during the Syrian Civil War which kicked off the greatest wave of human migration in recent history as people fled the brutality.
By caring about their internal affairs there is a chance their external affairs may be influenced.
Also, they execute rape victims, hang homosexuals in public, and kidnap and torture women who don't want to wear cloth on their head.
Please, I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart, don't "buh whaddabow" me. It's pathetic.
Re. Whataboutism. At times it is worthwhile looking in the mirror. In 2003 we bombed and occupied Iraq based on fabrications and propaganda by the Bush administration. According to the Lancet, there were 650,000 excess deaths attributed to violence 95% confidence. The middle east was thrown into turmoil and the effects are very much being felt by neighboring countries and Europe.
Sooo .. if we are curious about how other countries run their affairs, maybe we should study high school education in Finland. They did a remarkable job of turning their system around to where their kids outperform American kids on the average.
I do what i can do, I do care about surveillance by Google, Meta and others, that's why i wrote a book on privacy. This was just an observation i shared.
Because it might help us understand how the rest of the world works or how privileged a lot of us are in enjoying internet like we do or give us a better understanding of Iran the next time we see it on the news.
