America literally executes Down's people.

So now what? We're supposed to cheer on Israel, who literally starves children, because sometimes Iran does things as bad as we do?
Twist your brain more into a pretzel, why don't you.
Oh, were they executed specifically for being intellectually disabled as a form of "societal purification" like Iran does to atheists and LGBT people, or like Israel does to Muslims?
Or did they do something else and happen to fall into a group that shouldn't be discriminated against?
Weak ass take, try something different bud
When both sides are terrible, you cheer for neither
Yeah but the USA isn't specifically targeting mentally handicapped people... Yet.
You still being here is proof enough!
Not everyone on lemmy is from the USA. So far in the states,to the best of my knowledge, mentally handicapped people are suffering because the whole system is entirely fucked. But at the moment the only people being actively persecuted by the government are black people, Hispanic people, autists, people with ADHD, gay people, non binary people, trans people, Greenlanders, Panamanians, Canadians, Yemenis, Chinese, and Palestinians.
