How is Iran even supposed to retaliate against a country that regularly guns down its own children?

What are you gonna do? Blow up our school? We gun down everyone in the state before you even reach us, while neighbouring states chant USA USA

Not entirely their own free volition.

Primed, used as problem-reaction-solution patsies.

own free volition.

And I wholeheartedly apologise for my small part in that, having worked in advertising [(until Bill Hicks saved me)].

I was "just doing my job", to the best of my abilities, for my client. Maximally manipulating minds... And that was about 25 years ago, before all the datamining cold-reading hypno tech these days. Me and my guy, our meagre team of two, with our non-existent budget, we changed the culture... Now imagine what those with the tech today, and the budget of billions and trillions could do to people... Especially those who are completely oblivious and not actively trying to avoid the manipulations.

They'll deprive you of all wealth, and all free volition, if given a chance.
