Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer just branched out into unchartered territory.
I remember when in 2018 there was an uproar against Trump using that language
President Donald Trump referred to Haiti and African nations as “shithole countries” during a meeting with a bipartisan group of senators

I’m not surprised to see Lemmy embrace and adopt Trump’s language, so long as it’s aimed at countries y’all dislike, and so long as it fits y’all’s agenda
Trump didn’t invent this expression. Also any country that still cut heads is a shithole. Have a nice day.
No it’s a dictatorship. The people suffering under that US-armed and US-backed dictatorship don’t need the insults.
It’s a monarchy and the people generally seem to be okay with it on a certain level. I have been told by associates that is mostly because Islam inherently backs a caliphate and thus monarchy is not seen as undesirable.
Racism and bigotry towards: Arabs, Chinese and Russians is still acceptable. They get to decide who is okay and not-okay.
“One of those things is not like the other; one of those things is just not the same”
Russians are not a race. They are a nationality. There are many ethnic and racial groups in Russia. The anti-Russian sentiments are almost never anti-slavic/Turkic et al but are rather directed at the nation itself and the polity vs the sinophobia and antisemitism which tend to be at least partly aimed at the peoples.
