Okay so what? Democratic governments albeit imperfect are still morally
superior to dictatorships. Wouldn’t you agree? Or is it that you rate
the Iranian government as highly as Israel’s or the USA‘s?

Furthermore while the government might be the moral arbitrator for its
citizens, it is the individual himself who must develop of a
consciousness about what is moral and what is immoral, as the ultimate
responsibility lies with him — think about what happened in
Nazi-Germany. Granted, deciding what is moral and what is immoral is
more complex than ever — simple truths as „don’t kill a human“ just
don’t work ;) humans need to develop a higher consciousness, be more
aware of their surroundings, be able to reflect about themselves in a
deeper manner (something the capitalist world seems to exorcise - the
ability to self-reflect; but this does not excuse the deranged behaviour
braindead people like the fakestinians or Herman, it serves only as an
explanation).
