Hello,

I want to learn and understand why Russia is doing this? From what i have read on other sites the laws against allowing LGBT people have only been getting stronger, meanwhile in CPC the society is moving slowly more progressively in some ways on the topic of LGBT, like they don't target them like what is happening in russia.

I'd really like to see this topic and article discussed.

What are other lemmygrad communities for discussing topics like this in the future?

Thank you.

I’m saying this is incredibly common among nearly everyone but anarchists. And I’m sorry, but this applies to communists more than most other -isms. And it’s always towing the line of the CCP or Soviet Russia or whatever communist party is being discussed. It’s always “that massacre was skewed by western media” or “thats anti communist propaganda, it was nothing like a ‘holocaust.’” Now, these are obviously extreme examples to drive my point home, but they are definitely not at all exaggerations.

I’m just here, browsing all instances, and trying to give some relatively low level advice from a passerby. I’m not a communist, but I have spoken to untold hundreds and this trend is particularly prevalent among your flock. Just something to consider.

Yeahhhhh I don't think you know what you're talking about.

Mind giving literally any evidence for those claims? Or are we just supposed to blindly trust your vague "untold hundreds" of experiences as truth? Nobody here supports anti-LGBT laws, nor do we think Russia is communist. Your "low-level advice" seems awfully arrogant and pretentious for somebody who can't even understand those simple facts.

This trend of trying to "inform" others without concrete claims or detailed sources is particularly prevalent among your flock. Just something to consider.
