I'm not sure what your point is. You use the term "Western Values", and equate that with computer games and gadgets. Western values that you defend include blokes on this forum sticking up for paedophiles. I think you used the term "Western Values" without a clue what that actually means, displaying a failure of basic education. Western values are not Japanese TVs, Hollywood Movies, Korean K-Pop that you think. Western Values are Individualism, the Rule of Law, the upholding of Human Rights, the Freedom of Expression. But these are not the absolute ultimate values. It would be arrogant to suggest that. You are a hypocrite. You are supporting an action to bomb people into submission, by a country where the electorate voted for a man who is a convicted fraudster, a rapist, possibly a paedophile, absolutely an adulterer who enjoys the company of prostitutes, who pardons criminals, honours traitors, who abuses family, friends and allies, who befriends dictators and monsters, a racist, a liar, a cheat. You want the people of Iran to have a better life? Fine, but stop being a <deleted> by suggesting that the way to do that is to kill thousands of them through aerial attacks. Physician, heal thyself. I'm assuming you are an American, or at least greatly admire America. America is a broken , depraved country right now. It needs to fix itself. You want people to become free. You inspire them by example. You're not doing that right now, when you have a leader who is cruel, a bully, a thug. America loudly glorifies individualism, but in reality it corrals people into dependence on powerful institutions, engineered choices, and cultural conformity—reducing “freedom” to a managed illusion rather than genuine independence. America wraps itself in the language of the rule of law while selectively enforcing it through pardons, politically contested prosecutions, and shifting enforcement priorities—seen in recent actions like mass pardons for January 6 defendants, high-profile indictments tied to partisan disputes, and abrupt changes or pauses in enforcing laws such as anti-corruption statutes—revealing a system where legal consistency bends under the weight of power, loyalty, and expediency rather than equal justice. America does not hold Human Rights when it rips babies from the arms of mothers, and threatens War Crime Tribunal Judges. America wraps itself in the language of human rights while routinely betraying those ideals through unequal justice, systemic inequities, and a persistent gap between what it proclaims and what it actually delivers. America thunders about free expression while quietly enforcing a culture where dissent is punished, speech is policed by social and institutional pressure, and “freedom” exists only for those who stay within the approved lines. Celebrations in Iran? You do know its Eid e-Fetr and also the Persian New Year? No you don't because you are one of these Holy Joes who likes to impose what I assume are American values on the rest of the world. Values that include love of morbid obesity. You don't know, neither do you care, because to you they are all heathens. This dramatic clip has become a meme, but it presents truisms. Watch to the end.
