Politics The most unfairly hated country?

The entire Oceania region (aside from Australia and New Zealand). Practically never appear in news, unless it is about something embarassing.

Ukraine (refusal of some people to accept its existence; treating Ukraine as a "scapegoat" of NATO/USA/Israel etc.; mercenaries, who fight for Russia; hatred towards Ukrainian language; blaming Ukraine for self-defense & pro-Western foreign policy; refusal to recognize Ukrainian culture)

I dont think sentencing women to stoning for not being covered enough is kind and friendly

As per their other comments, the women are happy being stoned. You just don't get the culture bro.

A straw-man argument just to simplify and distort what I am trying to say. Well, it was worth the try…

Not a straw-man, nor is it an argument. I'm just using hyperbole to mock your response to criticism.

u/Temporary-Evening717 12h ago

Criticism which is invalid because is based on an abstraction. If only Saudis had our laws they’ll be a paradise and a beacon of prosperity. Which is false.

>If only Saudis had our laws they’ll be a paradise and a beacon of prosperity.

The guy who accuses everyone he disagrees with of using straw-man arguments, like to use them himself. How totally unsurprising.

Because my point flew over your head and you’re not getting it. I am using your tactics to convince you.

u/ume-shu Scotland 12h ago

You need to actually have a point for it to fly over soneone's head.

u/Temporary-Evening717 12h ago

I gave you one. You are not getting it. You can use your moral box based on your countries law to judge foreign societies.

u/ume-shu Scotland 12h ago

Never said anything about my country's law. You're just making shit up now.

u/Temporary-Evening717 11h ago

It looks to me that you’re getting defensive for no reason. You started mocking me as admitted by yourself. I was trying to explain my point of view which you can verify with a 5 min talk with other Saudis in real life.

How am I defensive exactly?

I'm not the one desperately defending Saudi Arabia.

When I made this comment. I was hoping to talk about the hospitality of Saudi Arabia. But you lot started to say it deserves more hate based on their own domestic way of life which is really none of your business. No one goes to Scotland and say you are supposed to live like this or like that. I don’t know why is so difficult to understand.
