Bunch of fucking fragile babies! Doesn't matter where it is in the world, the leaders are always 1 step away from a tantrum. Fucking grow up. You are supposed to be running the country not crying because someone insulted you.

They reign through terror. This is not some tantrum, this is intimidation. By applying very disproportionate punishments they're sending the message that resistance is dangerous.

Not to mention that if you're running a country, someone is going insult you.

Making everyone happy is an impossible ask, so if you can't settle for the majority being content, and probably not even being that vocal about it, then you should not be governing.

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
