    the weaponisation of the LGBTQ movement (or at least the cover of it) and integration by manipulation to rightwing cold war causes is unbelievable, even the saudis and quataris are bepuzzled, while happily throwing gays off of towers… ukraine is not a fucking gender.

    this will fracture the movement into politics that are not actually part of the original goal. and i guess they overheard all the azov nazis talking about stabbing and murdering gays and transpeople which they summarize under the term педераст which literally means pedo

      I don’t get it either. LGBTQ+ rights are a fight of itself. Why drag Ukraine into this? Without checking how Ukraine thinks about gay and trans rights? It has absolutely nothing to do with Pride activism.

          Russia has no bigger of a homophobia issue than any other country in the region. Poland, Hungary, Romania, Ukraine, they all use the same rhethoric, that gays are “pedophiles” and “liberal/western degenerates”. Even in the US darlings the Baltic States this idea is very common. But western media acts as if only Russia has this. Besides, the west using “LGBT activism” as a cover for western imperialism is literally promoting these ideas, since it validates the position that LGBT people are “western funded degenerates” sent to destoy the country. The west is literally making the problem worse.

          The “war for human rights” has replaced the “war on terrorism”.

          The war for human rights where they fight on the side of Nazis.

        It’s quite intentional. It’s a trap. You are either with TEAM GOOD GUYS (who obviously support everything Good ™ and like puppies and pride flags), or you are automatically TEAM EVIL VILLAINS, who eat puppies and hate gays. Proof? What are you, team evil? Think maybe supporting Nazis is not cool? You must hate gays then! Evil bad guy! Boo!

        It’s an attempt, arguably quite successful, to create an association between certain ideas and items, that don’t actually exist. And it works both ways, too.

            Funny you should mention children. I’ve seen posts like “Putin bathes in children’s blood to rejuvenate himself” or something along those lines. Give it time.

            • No joke, here on spanish TV they are literally saying that Putin is dying of cancer and that he regularly bathes in deer blood to survive somehow.

                The “dying of cancer” narrative is apparently quite pervasive. It’s seeping into Russian media as well, to the point of (so I’ve heard) Lavrov had to come on TV and say it’s fake. To which the reaction was “well if he’s saying it’s fake, it must 100% be true!”.

      Nazi’s were bad but did you know that Russian orcs kill babies, rape them, eat them, throw what’s left in a mass grave, rape the mass grave, then bomb it with chemical weapons? They’re even worse than Nazi’s!

        you know as the mythology goes, “the ring” is a metaphor for religion. so, if frodo walks out of russia and into the US (mordor) and throws the ring into the fire and ends religion, all will be good, George Sauron Bush jr. and his nazgul will fall from the skies, the orcs will disappear back into the dark valleys of the rocky mountains, the dark eye aka NSA will cease to exist and with the black rock in our posession, we can go back to caressing our hobbit leg hair and smoking pipe

    This is a brilliant idea. In fact, once the war is over, they should the pride parade in Kiev and invite the wholesome Azov battalion. I’m sure they’ll be happy to help!

    Liberals are really going all out on this, and won’t stop tainting other much more important things until the war is over.

    I can’t wait for the cope explosion when Ukraine finally loses, liberals are going to lose their god damn minds.

      I actually had no idea so I googled it. It stand for black and brown people. The adding of these colours was controversial, but some people claim that without black and brown activists, there would be no pride movement.

      I don’t have no deeper knowledge on this topic, so I can’t really comment. But what started as a movement for LGBTQ+ people is now a movement for a whole lot of other people, all cramped into one ‘box’. Not sure what I think about that really.

        The first pride was a riot where trans black women bricked cops in the Greenwich Village of Manhattan, in front of the Stonewall Inn. The LGBT movement existed before it, but essentially grew out of the riot, and that’s the justification many have for including minority races within the LGBTQIA+ flag. But, many say the inclusion makes it nothing more than a minority flag, and thus belittles it. People can argue over which side is right, but imo that argument distracts from the far more important things to focus on… such as trans women being one of the most common minorities to be murdered.

        This is a picture of Marsha P. Johnson, who is claimed to have started the riot

        i know, it was a pun. in general,the lgbtq movement is ideologically interdependent with decolonisation and anti-imperialism. can’t be separated basically, as they fight against the idea of the subalternous classes and class division along such lines. i personally think the color red actually entails all of this, but hey, that’s just me…

        It’s also representative of interracial marriage, particularly marriage between white and black/brown ethnicities. Which was seen in the West as just as bad as LGBTQ+ were seen as, not that long ago.
