    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.
