Sockpuppet account lmao? I just joined today. So, you're telling me Putin is not a right-wing dictator? I guess I should visit Moscow as a trans gay person and publicly express my disdain against right-wingers trying to exterminate us in Russia. For sure it's not a fascistic country and I won't get thrown in prison for it. /s

You have screws loose up there if you think Russia is not far-right.

Like, be ffr. The Nazi book burnings were the destruction of LGBT+ Sexologist Mr.Hirschfeld's work. Putin is silencing and jailing LGBT+ people and anyone who dares to speak against this or the war. Definitely not a fascist dictarship for suuure bro.

It's a traditional conservative society and I wouldn't call them neoconservative, just because they don't accept gay/trans folks. Many other people and countries don't either. In fact, the majority of the world doesn't. Identity politics is going to doom us in the West.

Ooooh fuck right off lmao. My country is also full of tradconservatives and they don't hunt us,jail us or silence us for complete extermination on a both governmental and mainstream cultural level. Russian culture and laws are extremely right-wing, and keep getting worse. Stop finding excuses for your delusions. You're defending a right-wing, state-capitalist dictator for fucking what, my dude? The sucking of boots here is insane.
