What's the common standard then? Does it ban leaders of countries that oppress homosexuals and other minorities as policy? Leaders who actually imprison political dissenters? Donald Trump is a bad president IMO, but there are far worse people (and their spokespeople) active on social media. The inconsistent standard makes this seem more like virtue signalling, which isn't quite "giving a shit about the state of the world". EDIT: Corrected a typo. I think Trump is a bad president.

So? Flag their messages too. You and I are both agreeing what Trump is saying is horrendous. And, for what it's worth, I'm gay and a part of a minority and I am privileged to live somewhere where there's little repression for who I am. I absolutely want to see people pushing back on countries that have terrible leaders who would repress my life: if you're going to shrug then say "well that's just policy", that honestly sucks. I'd take "virtue signalling" any day over whatever this response from Facebook is.

  > I am privileged to live somewhere where there's little repression for who I am. We reached here because we had complete freedom of speech. And you are against that very thing, the irony

    This is a complete non-sequitur to what I said.
