Russia: where love is “extreme” and war is “love”
Russia: Where domestic violence is not a crime, and love is a crime
So, straight out of 1984?
To be fair, Robotech 1985 taught me that love is a weapon
We can find the glory we all dream of, and with our love, we will win
That is in fact the cult of death worship that’s one of the signs of fascism.
These guys are a Russian group

This is why I cannot consider the so-called leftists who oppose taking action against a fascist like Putin to be actual leftists. Putin is a hard right dictator who violates every principle of human rights at every turn.
Tankies are authoritarians, the left/right angle doesn’t matter there.
Inb4 "read On Authority, a book I haven't read, and if I read it I'd realize it was not pro-authoritarianism but actually anti-pacifism"
Yeah, no.
As an anarchist, it’s just authoritarianism.
Fuck your hierarchies and top-down systems of oppression. Fuck supporting genocidal dictators.
Go read the conquest of bread and liberate yourself.
If you do not understand that there is a need for some authorities, you are both fucking stupid and a terrible anarchist.
Do better. Anarchy is about identifying what authority must exist and in what form it would best exist. If your answer is, "all authority is bad." Then you have failed. Try again.
“YoUr NoT aN aNaRcHiSt unless you want to be stepped on by a cop.
Haha, very funny now fuck off kid.
You are fundamentally too stupid to be an anarchist. You have to strawman what I said to even respond. You are truly pathetic.
How about you demonstrate some of that anarchist wisdom and tell me how you'd arrest a murderer that doesn't want to be arrested. Someone, including random other citizens at the time of need, needs the authority to forcibly stop them, you fucking idiot. Authority still needs to exist with or without cops.
Again, you fucking idiot. Defending the necessity of authority shouldn't implicitly defend police unless you have a child's understanding of anarchist theory.
Just fuck off kid.
No one cares about your internet temper tantrum.
Your inability to logically engage is pathetic. You cannot even defend yourself. You're a joke. Do better.
Okay kiddo.
You love proving me correct. Keep going.
'Leftists' like N Korea, China, and Russia supports make me ashamed to be a leftist. This is what happens when all your leaders die 40 years ago, the movement gets silly.
Don't be ashamed to be a lefty. Shame THEM for dare calling themselves leftists while espousing polite words for autocrats and dictators. They are pathetic and a detriment to progress and they need to know it.
And get banned for questioning orthodox bullshit
Idk the leaderless portions can be silly but we feed people to feed people, we fix up bikes to fix up bikes, we send prisoners books and propaganda to help prisoners. We may not be perfect, and our terminally online portions are terminally online, but we’re out there helping the proletariat.
That’s like a republican saying “we donated to a charity” while pushing for a bill that would restrict black peoples right to vote.
You can’t claim to be helping us while in the same breath actively working for our long term oppression.
What kind of action are you referring too? What more can we do?
They went so far authoritarian left, they ended up authoritarian right.
I guess that makes me an extremist.
Become ungovernable
Be gay, do crime
Wishing you lots of extreme affection.
It makes my daughter an extremist and she's 13.
Hell yeah!
I've said it before, I'll say it again: one can usually tell who the good guys are by how they treat LGBT people.
one can usually tell who the good guys are by how they treat ~~LGBT people~~ others different than them.
FTFY
LGBT people are a convenient metric because they are a minority that exists everywhere in every society. It's how they treat a subset of their own. There's a lot more factors regarding how societies treat outside groups, if and how they encounter them.
True, but for example im a gay man and according to the original description, I would be a good guy if I treated LGBT members right, but of course I treat them right because im part of them.
I see, I was thinking of nations and groups more than individuals when I made that comment. Not every LGBT person treats LGBT people well, Roy Cohn comes to mind.
Well, you are right that not every lgbt person treats lgbt persons right, which is crazy
We all know that putin sucks dicks on the DL.
And diddles little boys.
Surely this will lead to the EU and other progressive countries to open up the borders for Russians fleeing the oppression, right? Right?
To any good Russians that are left, it is way past time to start ambush killing FSB enforcers & it is literally self defense at this point.
Russia says it has a constitution but it's obviously a joke.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
MOSCOW, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Russia's Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that LGBT activists should be designated as extremists, in a move that representatives of gay and transgender people fear will lead to arrests and prosecutions.
A Reuters reporter in court heard it announce that it had approved a request from the justice ministry to recognise what it called "the international LGBT social movement" as extremist and to ban its activities.
President Vladimir Putin, expected shortly to announce that he will seek a new six-year term in March, has long sought to promote an image of Russia as a guardian of traditional moral values in contrast with a decadent West.
In a speech last year, he said the West was welcome to adopt "rather strange, in my view, new-fangled trends like dozens of genders, and gay parades" but had no right to impose them on other countries.
"Of course it’s very alarming, and I don’t remember the threat ever being so serious and real," Alexei Sergeyev, an LGBT activist in St Petersburg, told Reuters TV in an interview earlier this month.
Previous listings, for example of the Jehovah's Witnesses religious movement and organisations linked to opposition politician Alexei Navalny, have served as a prelude to arrests.

A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
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.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.
