Funny how Western media never mentioned this law was going through Georgia's parliament, yet they spent months talking about what they called the "Russian law".

You must have missed it then. I've read about it several times in these articles about copying Russian laws.

How is the public opinion about LGBT issues in the country?

[-] thetaT@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago

it varies a lot. outside of the capital, it's almost entirely negative. inside Tbilisi, the youth (mostly female youth) tend to be more progressive when it comes to LGBT issues.

How is the public opinion about Stalin in the country?

[-] thetaT@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

more positive in rural areas, more negative in urban areas, especially among urban youth.

it's extremely positive in Gori, where Stalin was born.

European Values required to get in the EU

[-] newerAccountWhoDis@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

While this law sadly represents the opinions and preferences of the majority of everyone everywhere, it goes explicitly against European values

Trialling fascist laws in captured states before they enact these laws in the West? what-the-hell

[-] Vampire@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Hexbear's obsession with the West gets exhausting

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

This is a known thing the imperialists do though???

[-] newerAccountWhoDis@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

captured states

Didn't know Russia was a captured state

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago
[-] newerAccountWhoDis@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

If you say so. However, this law was tested in Russia first and copied by Georgia in a turn away from the west and towards Russia

This headline linking the signing of a piece of paper to the murder of a woman really rubs me the wrong way.

I'm not going to pretend anyone at the guardian has a good analysis on anything, especially trans people.

[-] Vampire@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

“There is a direct correlation between the use of hate speech in politics and hate crimes,” the Social Justice Center, a Tbilisi-based human rights group, said in its statement reacting to the murder.

“It has been almost a year that the Georgian Dream government has been aggressively using homo/bi/transphobic language and cultivating it with mass propaganda means,” it added.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
