I’m not sorry, but if colors offend you, you might be really fragile and not as manly as you’d like to think
And if you use religion as an excuse to be a bigot remember your god made everyone and everything so hating colors kinda like saying you’re afraid of your own gods creations.
That’s not what is going on there. Unfortunately for Russian LGBT community, LGPT suppression is selected as anti Western anti democracy propaganda point. People are brainwashed into believing that it is something evil.
Prejudices against the LGBT community are already present in so many people that you don’t need brainwashing. Instead, this is about leveraging and amplifying the existing prejudice for political purposes.
I love this comment so much 🙂
Where all the tankies at? Lets hear why this is totally cool and ok.
lol if you ask for it the brigade of angry people will appear to explain how you’re a racist and a terrible person for not thinking like them
But first they will deflect by asking you to define what a tankie is.
I think lemmy.world defederated from hexbear, lemmygrad, and .ml
They did. I still see their users here and there though.They did. I still see their users here and there though. Well definitely hexbear and lemmygrad. I dunno if they defederated from ml.
I’m just waiting on all the Hexbear users who see no irony praising both LGBTQ+ and russia.
If they ever moved to russia, they would instantly be killed.
They would be sent to push up sunflowers in Avdiivka it takes a week for basic training and an hour or so to walk within Ukrainian artillery range. Not exactly instant, but close.
probably some thing like “America is mean too”
No no no, you don’t understand, Russia has (in the past) implemented my favorite economic system (please ignore all the people who died as political criminals), thus nothing they do is wrong. Rainbow earrings are just a small casualty, you gotta look big picture!
As if Russia is anything else than a dictatorship…

As if tankies aren’t constantly simping for both Russia and China on here.
A little history refresher on the origin of the term
The term “tankie” was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring uprising, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.
So specifically being a tankie and supporting fascist bullshit go hand in hand and always have.
I must admit that I haven’t met any who do so can’t argue for or against this. I can understand that they might have done 20-30 years ago but I don’t see them “simpling for” any of them really. But neither Russia or China are kommunist regimes any longer. Maybe back when the term was coined, as you described in your quote but not any longer. Before it dead the community now it is the leader
Well I sure have. Especially before multiple servers defederated with Lemmygrad and Hexbear.
I like to imagine these accounts learned about tankies only 6 months ago when they joined Lemmy and were encountered by lots of leftists with wildly different international worldviews than them.
As a byproduct, it’s just their way of making sense of those differences they don’t otherwise understand.
Nobody that they’re describing would actually defend shit like this, but thats about as well as they understand those people.
The Russian and English aristocracies were related, is that maybe part of the reason there was some support in the UK?
The Russian monarchy ended about 39 years prior to the Hungarian Revolution in '56. The whole Russian Revolution thing and the murdering of the Romanovs and all that.
Clearly rainbows are part of the aggressive expansionism of NATO, and Russia is just responding to it
Do you know what NATO nicknamed the defense plan during the cold war? The Rainbow Plan.

Bro, I wanna see Russia declare war on the sky and try to knock down a rainbow.
That would be dangerous. The sky might start sinking Russian ships.
Bring out the RFGs
I’d love for Ukraine to paint all their bombs in rainbow colours.
Someone email general Zaluzhny now!
Ukraine is winning because they’re not wasting their time like that. They’re not arresting people for rainbow earrings or pretending to have an election.
This joke of a country has turned into a massive gulag. Next thing they will arrest every man who doesn’t get hard enough seeing the exposed ankle of a woman.
They need conscripts
Shithole country. Also, Putin is 100% smoking pole.
I can hear Poles being offended
They’re itching to declare Article 5
Texas taking notes
Can’t have their residents learning to read and write, they might get ideas.
in dictatorship russia, earrings wear you!
Ah Russia you keep teaching me not to go to you or the deep south/midwest US. At least I won’t go to jail or get shot on the street in Canada or the EU for being LGBTQ+
Were these places on your list of places you wanted to go?
I live in Canada, I want to go to the NE US, the West Coast US, the EU and visit other areaa of Canada I haven’t seen yet
