"They are legitimizing hate and discrimination against a highly vulnerable group. Words from those in power carry weight and real-world consequences."

Countries are free to do this, with the understanding that the rest of the world now understands that they are shit countries.

You understand there are real people affected by this, and calling their country shit does nothing to help them?

I'm from India, I'd describe it as 'shit'. How are you going to help me? What can you possibly do that will remove our authoritarian government, abysmal infrastructure, and overcrowded trains?

Call my priorities shit too but that last bit is the most important for me. This is how my commute is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_kcQzP-bQg

Cheers.

I’m from India, I’d describe it as ‘shit’ ... authoritarian government, abysmal infrastructure, and overcrowded trains?

When someone from an imperialist country calls your country shit, they're not talking about your government or infrastructure, otherwise they'd have said government not country.

Why can't they run more, longer, trains? Japan's trains used to be insane, now they're merely packed tight enough in the morning you can get an extra 15 minute nap while standing up.

Someone should replace their government with some "deviant culture"

Religion, yay! It’ll never go away; there are stupid people everywhere. The bigots just keep on winning. There is no end point, other than complete erasure and separation from society.

That's a mosquito-borne illness.

You're thinking of Malala

Guys, don't say anything about the root cause of this. You'll hurt feelings of a certain Blahaj admin and she'll have to ban you for bigotry. She did that to my old account for making this post (https://sh.itjust.works/post/40446119).

Apparently, there is a genuine reason why a group of voters decided to endorse Donald Trump, even though in his first term he targeted those very same people by restricting their travel (https://en.wikipedia.org/...).

Can't be because those voters were hateful towards LGBT community, nuh-uh.
