i am begging some of y’all to learn the difference between someone being critical of a state’s government/corporations and being phobic towards that state’s people
people aren’t being sinophobic for talking about china’s appalling human rights record, no one is being russophobic for acknowledging the holodomor, it’s not islamophobic to call out islamic colonization, you aren’t being racist for criticizing japan’s imperialist past, etc etc etc
please use your thinking brain for what it’s there to do: think critically
it’s possible (and easy) to criticize a nation/region’s leadership without being weird about the people who live there, and if it’s not easy for you then you have some work to do
