Come on, buddy. Wake up. The new bourgeoisie is doing tsarist shit again.

Russia is so fucked. People who identified as not-religious has been constantly falling from since 1991 from 60% to 20%. Orthodox Christianity from 30% to 70%

Russian youth (16-29 yo) are 75% religious (62% orthodox) https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2014/02/10/russians-return-to-religion-but-not-to-church/

Yeah I wonder what would happen to the people with the loss of communist ideology and letting liberalism run rampant in your country (which still hasn’t been purged and are going strong!). The 90s was such a horror show that it’s going to take generations to heal this trauma.

Given the general trend, at least in the West, of increasing numbers of non-religious people, it's kinda fascinatingly disturbing to see the opposite occurring. Really shows how these things are actually governed by measurable social and economic factors and can't be explained by mere vibes-based explanations like "Well, as society is becoming more rational and scientific..." One wonders if we'll see a resurgence in religiosity in the West as conditions deteriorate.

[-] MattsAlt@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago

I could see it as lense people adopt to make sense of an awful world. As conditions deteriorate and revolutionary thought is suppressed, religion is the only thing people can grasp to as an explanation for why things are happening and death almost being something to look forward to because it'll be better in the afterlife.

I don't see it exactly the same as Hakim's recent post about Islam and the people of Palestine, but I think it rhymes. People living in such awful conditions need something to grasp, especially when family and friends aren't a certainty day to day

[-] LeopardShepherd@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

I think also in times of hardship joining a religion is an easy way to find community and mutual aid networks. Also a good way to avoid persecution and have an advantage if the state favours a certain religion.

Putin really is a big fan of the Russian Empire. He's even doing his own pogroms that will inevitably lead to a brain drain.

[-] Kaplya@hexbear.net 62 points 1 year ago

Which is funny because he was so adamant about national sovereignty, he should have purged the liberals when given the opportunity last year. But he’s too afraid to pull the trigger.

Also, if you are Russian LGBT you need to leave the country NOW. Germany is taking in asylums so there’s a way out.

Sort of off-topic but now I feel bad for Edward Snowden, jumping from one fascist police state to another.

I saw a headline from terf island that went "Russian FORCES raid gay bars" and it's like, this is awful enough, why do you even feel the need to embellish like the army are the ones storming the place? To differentiate it in the minds of your readers from the kind of omnipresent police brutality that has become a staple of life in the US and UK?

"our righteous police service, their unjust security forces" is very common

Yes terrorize the queers that's really going to help your domestic issues.what's more is it puts a target on your queer military and government members from within. It makes them vulnerable to blackmail and subjects them to internal discord and disaplinary action threatening rediness and cohesion. The US Military has decades of these studies. Saying the only really problem is your continued harassment of them and the "politics".

Russian Orthodox Church's death grip on their politics can go get gulag

Even Putin is a ripe bitch to them Look at how much "ok lets just get this shit over with" energy this is.

The Stasi, the intelligence agency of the nation Putin was stationed in and I assume had worked with, figured this shit out in the 80's. They even made up a goofy term for it, "the political misuse of homosexuals." They then realized the solution was to literally urge the SED to find “resolution[s] to homosexuals’ humanitarian problems,” which resulted in the government doing a complete 180 on queer rights.
