extra, “Barbarian” was a roman term to make fun of people by the way of their language. Pardon my example, but that’s the same as calling Asia “Chingchong”. it was racist as fuck back in the Roman times, but because we forgot that meaning, so we still use it. and somehow the modern meaning of “Uncivilized violent dirty people’s” is even more racist than the Roman usage.
I am saying that cops are bastards, no matter where. It doesn’t matter if they arrest you for not wearing a hijab, or for looking like a Mexican.
Every country has their share of police brutality, it just gets worse in autocratic governments. But demonizing Iranians as barbarians will not contribute to the solution of the problem, and only feed the racism towards people of middle eastern heritage.
Still better than a society where you can be killed for not wearing a hat.

Still Iran is a barbaric country. No matter how USA, Russia or Zimbabwe are more or less barbaric in comparison.

Ok-ok. You’re a barbarian if you insist. But some things are not about you. In some questions you’re not a center of Universum.
Iran is a barbarian country regardless of your even existence.

Both can be barbaric.
it’s not a race to the bottom.
and with the US, you don’t need a hat, the color of your skin if reason enough for the state to kidnap/kill you.
TBF this administration has made strides in equality to include white people in the killings. (/s, in case it isn’t obv)
And how does this make Iran less barbaric?
I’m calling the game you’re playing barbaric

Who was killed for not wearing a hat? When was that?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Mahsa_Amini
This woman died of police brutality, this happens a lot in the us, here is a list for January of this year.
Add to that all the mysterious deaths, like this one, or the people dying in ICE custody
Ok, so you state that killing people because of hats is ok and it isn’t a criterion of barbarism just because in the US they do similar shit?

How bout a place where you can get beat up or killed for wearing a facemask?
I wish for a society in which you don’t have to choose whether to get beat up or killed for wearing a face mask or hat.
