Russian security forces raided gay clubs and bars across Moscow Friday night, less than 48 hours after the country’s top court banned what it called the “global LGBTQ+ movement” as an extremist organization.
Police searched venues across the Russian capital, including a nightclub, a male sauna, and a bar that hosted LGBTQ+ parties, under the pretext of a drug raid, local media reported.
Eyewitnesses told journalists that clubgoers’ documents were checked and photographed by the security services. They also said that managers had been able to warn patrons before police arrived.
Hexbear and lemmygrad be like: “Russia is just avoiding a potential color revolution.”
Those slimy bootlicking fucks on hexbear I imagine are mostly fortunate Russians that haven’t been sent to the front line. I wonder if they feel anything watching their country men die in dirt while posting pig balls on the internet. Strange fucking world. I’d post this on hexbear, but I’ve just been banned by them, typical spineless fascists.
It’s because they are campists. They don’t actually care about egalitarianism. Or leftism.
Or stateists. Well, stateists usually call themselves nationalists, who they are not.
Did they think the guys were gonna rise up, form a gayocracy?
Edit: angry tankies down voting their ridiculous beliefs being talked about
No, they just take a far-right government appropriating left-wing terminology in good faith, which they did since the 1920’s.
Like the sacred band of Thebes, but they’re a government body instead of an army platoon.
Revolution is politically inconvenient – it’s a color revolution
Revolution fits my ideology – it’s a righteous uprising that confirms my ideology is superior
This one got me confused. Flee to a Nato country that they hate?
Russians are not a monolith, but a lot of other Russian expats (for economic reasons) are causing issues for very well agreeing with Putin too much on non-economic issues. I know one such Hungarian in the Netherlands, who begged his colleagues to vote for Wild Geeters, because of Orbán.
Wouldn’t lemmygrad be pro-revolution?
