    I totally support posting against politicians, and calling them out.

    But my god dont do it while youre a guest in their country.

    Ive been very critical of trump. So i will entirely avoid the USA, just in case

      On the one hand, if you’re walking into a totalitarian state and criticizing the ruling autocrat, then sure, that’s a skill issue. That’s not supposed to be how it works in countries that at least purport to be free. At the very least, we can at least be frustrated at the false advertising.

        You don’t have to be paying much attention to know India is not one of those places.

          Well they do claim to be a free, democratic nation. “Claim” is doing an awful lot of work in that sentence, but it is accurate.

            Countries claim things all the time. If you take a look at “official” names of countries you will soon understand self claims are meaningless.

            I understand you already know this.

      Have you seen his post? It’s not in the linked article. If not, how do you know he called anyone out? He’s reported as telling the court that he did not name or refer to the prime minister, contrary to the police’s statement to the court.
