Disrespecting a country is one of the fundemental purposes of free speech, one could argue the only reason it is needed at all.

@freemo disrespecting a country (hating all people for their nation, language and geographic location) is plain xenophobia and/or racism. some people think it is fine. I have another opinion. xenophobia is an excellent base for fascism.

@iron_bug @freemo
Disrespecting a country doesn't mean hating all of it's people.

In fact one could argue that equating all the people with their country is the far worse sin.

You can hate China, Russia, the US, or whatever country for what they are doing without hating every single citizen of these countries.
