This is just making an argument based on distraction. Person A did something bad but hey look over here Person B also did something bad so stop thinking of the bad thing Person A did!
Why is it so hard just to admit Iran’s government sucks? They execute people on a massive scale, support terrorism across the Middle East, and are currently trying to hold the world’s economy hostage by breaking international law and targeting civilian shipping in an international waterway.
There’s abuser’s logic going on here where something bad happens to you and you think it makes it fine to hurt others. The US is responsible for their bad actions and Iran is responsible for their bad actions. Bad actions by the US doesn’t justify Iran’s bad actions towards others.
Sure, Reagan, Bush, Trump have done or are currently doing shitty things and stupid things. But that doesn’t make Iran’s government the good guys.
I am in no way saying either that Iran is by any measure better than the USA or that actions of the USA justify Irans actions… I am also neither a USA nor an Iranian citizen or have any connection to either state besides my country having commercial relations with both.
You need to wrap your head around the fact that the original post about remembering stuff about Iran is a distraction piece to pull focus away from the atrocities that the USA is committing.
Or to put it in your words: why is it so hard for you to just admit that the USA are killing people on a massive scale in places nowhere near their territory, topple democratically legitimized governments for their own gains, and let governmentally supported thugs roam their streets terrorizing and killing their own population? Not to mention holding the global economy hostage regularly. Why do you need to point to other countries? Do other countries being bad make these actions okay?

The whole premise on the meme is to distract from the bad things Iran has done because “Reagan is bad.”

Because you didn’t admitted Iranian regime has murdered tens of thousands of Iranians, promoted terrorism, engaged in a a civil war that resulted in half a million people dead.
Yeah the US sucks. I’m a Canadian and I’m actively boycotting the US. But you’re thinking that when someone points out the horrible things that Iran has done and you just need to say “but Reagan did some shenanigans!” and you “got 'em”. It’s really silly and shows lack of critical thinking. It’s embarrassing that people think that this line of thinking is somehow a slam dunk argument for… what exactly? Why would you feel to make any kind of rebuttal against someone saying Iran’s regime is horrible? Especially one that’s so obviously fallacious?
