At the same time there's no fag parade allowed in Iran It's not the concept of the state itself the problem, it can very well be "tuned" to enforce whatever you see fit, from national socialism, to communism, liberalism, monarchism, theocratism etc The real problem in the end is that it always ends up subverted, hijacked, perveted adn at the end of the day it stands for the opposite of what it was designed to stand for That's the real problem ... Naturally, it brings human nature on the table, front and center The sate isn't a magic machine running on its own It's made of people, and it more often than not ends up filled with the wrong ones Why? Idk, maybe because sociopaths, have a natural edge over the rest of us when it comes to back stabbing, deception, manipulation, and lust for power And it's quite possible that some ethnic groups... Are more "gifted" than others when it comes to it, idk, it's a possibility and it would explain a lot, not all but a lot
