Calling an entire country homophobic is peak lib racism. Same shit as when they were saying Texans deserved to freeze to death.
I dunno. People talk about countries being racist all the time. There are a whole bunch of countries where most people are proudly homophobic.
Not saying that bombing them is a solution.
It's a generalization of an entire population, usually one of mostly non-white people. And one that they surely wouldn't use to describe their own.
This site makes arguments for collective guilt all the time. I don’t think we can suddenly revert back to “individual responsibility” when the population being held to account is one we sympathize with.
It's still an example of the form of unconscious racism in liberals.
Okay, yes, but if Anglos can be held collective responsible for shit the states representing them do, and that some X%-above-50 supports, even if randomly John Doe is personally against it, the same goes for POC nations.
The racist part is where they use it as justification for bombing people and the double standard that they seem to reserve that stance for nonwhite countries.
Well like the other guy you’re replying too, I also don’t support bombing countries just because they’re gov’n/most of their citizens hold regressive views.
but if Anglos can be held collective responsible for shit the states representing them do
?????
literally no one
literally no one?
I mean come on there’s at least a handful of people who feel that way here.
I guess we’ve reached the point in this site where it’s necessary to say: I don’t literally think we should glass Israel. Can I get unbanned from Twitch now?
I mean, it's a statistical thing. If ninety percent of population hate gays and there are anti-gay laws I think it's fair to say it's a homophobic country.
that's still 10 percent that don't deserve to be bombed no?
I'm surprised I have to make clear on this site that I don't think bombing is good way of making people less homophobic, but l already did in my previous comment.
I used to be a homophobe, but then I had a fireworks accident. Bombings work
My point still stands that this is what liberal racism looks like, it's not as intentional or overt as right wing shitheads it's a casual disregard for the lives of people in other countries that they definitely wouldn't hold the same standard for white people for.
I understand the whole human rights industrial complex thing is usually just an instrument to manufacture consent for imperialist aggression. Still, doesn't mean that calling Russia a homophobic country is in concept a more of unfair generalisation than calling France an islamophobic country.
No, its only fair to say that 90% of that country is homophobic.
The 10% are likely victims of it, and punishing them along with the others is a similar evil to being homophobic.
Judging an entire population for the actions of part of them is literaly the foundation of racism, homophobia and most bigotry.
“Affects” as in dropping munitions on people, yes bombs and shitposting about terfs definitely a one to one there
Freezing is a collective punishment. Has nothing to do with individuals.
This argument is literally how neoliberal multiculturalism sanctions war crimes.
I agree, we should bomb terf island into accepting trans people. :ukkk:
This, except the bombing don't stop even when they stop being TERFs.
Look, these people may be suffering under some bad hierarchies, but I bet if we killed a couple million of them then they might... uhm..... well lets bomb first and see how that goes first

This is the first time in my memory I've considered a post here to be violence.

I'm sure there are Americans who would relish a protracted bloody ground war in Alabama, refugee camps filling up in Tennessee and Louisiana, and a US Green Zone centered in Mobile.
Just so long as none of it interrupted the shipping of Amazon packages through Bessemer.
