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.

When you are losing the war you started.

Blame gays.

When your policies fail.

Blame gays.

When your government is less popular than cancer.

Blame gays.

When you are getting mass protests.

Blame Jews. But Jews have nukes, oops. Then blame gays!

[–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 36 points 11 months ago

No, Israel has nukes. The Jews have a space laser though, which is better. Netanyahu lost his space laser privileges a long time ago, I could maybe petition the Council to let The Gays have his time slot?

[–] Transporter_Room_3@startrek.website 27 points 11 months ago (2 children)

So what I'm hearing is give The Gays™️ nukes....

That's one way to create a rainbow

Maybe they should. Carve out a piece of land and make it a homeland for them which would included a whole mess of weapons

[–] rottingleaf@lemmy.zip 2 points 11 months ago

Well, there are plenty of gays in the society, so they usually start with blaming weak people, like sects, youth subcultures and prostitutes, then "socially weird" pastimes (like LARP`ing or video games), then immigrants, then gays, and then finally some of the ethnic minorities with citizenship.

Can we not blame gay Jews?

Like especially the communist gay Jews, the true root of global disharmony

[–] pelya@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Please stop using term 'communist' in context of progressive far-left socialism.

Communism is totalitarian oppression. Every time you mention communism, you mention Stalin, you cannot separate communism and gulags.

The communism as envisioned by Karl Marx never existed. The closest thing to Marx communism right now is Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, with their over-50% tax rates and hyper-socialist policies, and they sure as hell do not call themselves communist.

Really?! I made a ridiculously tongue-in-cheek comment, but of all the vile implications of blaming a single minority group for destroying the world, this was your rebuttal?

[–] pelya@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

It wasn't a rebuttal, I'm being pedantic about a technical term.

The joke about Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism is funny to English-speaking audience. People who actually experienced communism know there's nothing fully automated, luxury, or gay about it. There was some Space, but it was done more to show'em dirty capitalists than to perform big scientific discoveries, and capitalists didn't care all that much about communists' posturing, it was more about science.

Off the mark, sure, but he's not incorrect.

[–] hanekam@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

and hyper-socialist policies

The Nordic Model isn't really all that Socialist. It's based on strong welfare and labor rights, but also very much on the free market. The most Socialist country in Europe is probably France

[–] uis@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well, France is France. Revolutions is their national sport.

[–] hanekam@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Also bureaucracy and public ownership

[–] uis@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

Wouldn't public ownership be Sweeds' national sport?

[–] TheSanSabaSongbird@lemdro.id 0 points 11 months ago

No. Get back to us when you tossers can get your story straight. Until then, bugger off.
