    Western MSM figured out a long time ago that convincing people an atrocity is taking place is just a matter of bombarding them with insinuations and numbers. Their credulous imagination does the rest. It’s slightly different every time, but the outline is relatively clear.

    The questions of methodology and such are perfectly valid and won’t be asked by the general public. Either Iran has closed itself off and we may not receive credible information, or these measures have been penetrated, in which case there’d be plenty of information from different sources. Of course, when the same group says the same thing under 3 different names westerners tend to believe it, so it doesn’t cost regime change enthusiasts any sleep.

    Could someone kindly post the atlas meme? It’s a day that ends with y and the situation calls for it again.

      This works for every country outside “the west”. We’ve been drilled since childhood that “life has no worth outside the developed world” and that the browns and Asians are violent hordes without regard for humanity. It all boils down to astonishing levels of racism, and westerners believing literally any accusation against a country whose dwellers and/or cultures they believe inferior
