I remember people complaining here about basing a government system on Iran but their stance on trans rights is much more progressive than most Western countries. Maybe there can be a compromise?

One argument I keep seeing here is that since theocracies like Iran and the Papal State did bad things, Theocracies are inherently bad. Yet secular governments like Pol Pot's, Mao's, Hitler's and Stalin's together killed almost a hundred million people, perhaps much more than those killed by wars of religion, yet no one says a peep about it?

VitalSigns posted:All those horrible governments you mentioned were all run by dark-haired men, so obviously we need a ginger dictatorship. Hey it makes about as much sense as boiling it down a huge variety of cultures and government types into "secularism". Hitler persecuted the pacifist Jehovah's witnesses, while Mao, Stalin and Pol Pot were explicitly anti-religious, using the state machinery to kill church members and religious people. Stop being dense.

rudatron posted:'No one says a peep about it' is categorically false, you've clearly never actually read D&D threads on it. But that argument as presented is dumb. The actual arguments put forward against theocracies are subtler, but you willfully ignore that for the joy of trolling D&D. Ah dismissing my argument as a troll. What now, ad hominems? Great discourse level here on Debate Disco.

The liberals here complain about China occupying Tibet and oppressing its people but Tibet was a Theocracy before it was annexed. Riddle me that.
