Reply to comment by CaseyTS in Pro-Iran regime prof. in US covered up mass murder - human rights report by Shaul_Ishtov

Yes. You and I know that. But most people do not. The majority is what scares me.

I know bro. I just wish he’d arranged the words differently

I will point out that you could have said that in your first comment, and most of us would probably have agreed it could be worded better. Instead, you said that the article was targeting the US government, which was an oblique and a bit aggressive way to get at it.

Probably. I have trouble articulating at 1 am.

Uh, okay? This is a public forum, so that's kind of a weird take.

Dude tried playing the snickers defense "oh I was just tired so I said something completely out of character".

I'm allowed to take notice of how bad a take that is.

It wasn’t a bad take. Just took several takes for certain people to understand what I was trying to say. Skill issue on their part.

You're incorrect about how people tend to read text in English. "In US" gives away that US is a location in this context, not a group of people (government). Especially because "Iran regime prof." is not a position in the US government.

I’m not incorrect. I’ve had debates with people who would misread this post. The fact the US is mentioned is a passive aggressive implication.

No, its informing where the person is.

“Pro Iranian Regime prof. In US”. that implies the US is apart of it when it’s not the fact he’s in the US that’s important. While the US already has a bad rap with Human Rights, this post is bait for America haters. Especially the ones who blame the US for every misfortune to befall their country.

Hmm interesting. Do you think if maybe say, this professor was a professor living in iran it would matter where he lived? So by saying he is in the US, they are saying "currently not living under the regime"

If he lived in Iran, it would keep the fight between Iran and its dissidents between Iran and its Dissidents. By mentioning he lives in the US it suggests a correlation between the US and the Iranian Regime and therefore a connection between the US and this horrific crime. The suggestion doesn’t have to be intentional.

News headlines cannot cater to the lowest common conspiracy theorist.

Yeah but they shouldn’t enable conspiracy theorists either. They’re by far the most annoying people to argue with, on god. 9/11, any mass shooting, the moon landing, the January riots, etc they all act like it didn’t happen they’re worse than flat earthers. Then you get people who think the US steals other countries resources, orchestrates wars, and coups. They’re starting to blame us for everything.
