This is like arguing that there’s no difference between broken leg and a heart attack. The Shah’s government certainly had problems but you really need to provide a knowledgeable argument rather than just asserting equivalence.

You might want to read the entire thread before commenting. The argument here started with a statement that under the Shah there were problems for regular people. And someone posted in return a video implying it was like paradise. I stated it is obviously much worse under the current regime but pointed that OP was correct that there were major problems under the Shah as well. Not sure why that is so controversial.
I did, actually. Rather than trying to dismiss my comment as not having read the thread, consider that you might need to make a good argument before trying to “rest your case”.
Sorry, you are saying I should make a better argument to the comment saying "so what if he was a dictator?"
