> The US didn’t mass kill Jan 6ers.

Were the Jan6ers good guys or bad guys? Did they deserve to get punished? (Trump didn't/doesn't think so, which is why he pardoned them; Pence may have a different opinion.)

The fact that different countries have different punishments for the same crime is a cultural artefact. The fact that you find it unacceptable is personal opinion. In Singapore drug use (not even distribution) is punishable by up to 10 years in prison:

Too much? Too little?

One can say that a person did bad things, but the punishment was inappropriate in a particular case, but some kind of punishment was needed.

Were the Iranian protestors/insurrectionists guilty of crimes? Did they deserve some kind of punishment?

Moral relativism can be real and I can be against another cultures moral ideology. They’re allowed to have their beliefs and I’m allowed to think they are wrong and they deserve to be killed for having them. Protestors do not deserve to be killed for protesting. People who kill protestors for protesting do deserve to be killed. Is that all personal opinion? Yes of course, so what?

I didn't know there were still fans around for this version of moral relativisim.

The IRGC mass killing of protesters was evil. Objectively so. Anyone thinking otherwise is part of the problem.
