    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.

          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.

              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.

        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.
