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.
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 my original comment that they came in with the "well actually" to was me calling the poster in the image racist for using that justification. Y'all are arguing with a point I didn't make.
I’m literally the most reverse racist anti-white person on this site and i’ve never seen an unironic example of this type of person you describe, this place isn’t as cool as that
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.
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.
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.
I just have a principle of not using such generalizations of "countries" the state sure, and maybe that seems like pedantry but I think it's an important distinction. It also depends on the person making the critique and the post this is a bout is definitely not thinking about this in the terms you or I are.
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.

It's still an example of the form of unconscious racism in liberals.

literally no one?
I mean come on there’s at least a handful of people who feel that way here.
It’s not our fault if we let in a few irony poisoned libs who don’t understand material analysis

These people maybe irony poisoned but I wouldn’t call them Libs

Actually the same doesn’t go for nations, where information is scarce

that's still 10 percent that don't deserve to be bombed no?

I used to be a homophobe, but then I had a fireworks accident. Bombings work

It's actually 100% that doesn't deserve to be bombed still.
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.

It’s because we hate white people
“Affects” as in dropping munitions on people, yes bombs and shitposting about terfs definitely a one to one there
This sounds suspiciously reactionary.
