A court in the central Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod has jailed a woman for wearing rainbow earrings, the human rights group Egida reported late Wednesday, marking the second case of its kind after Russia banned the so-called “LGBT movement” as an “extremist” organization in November. According to Egida, law enforcement agents tasked with combating “extremism” detained the woman after a group of “aggressive people” approached her and her friend at a local cafe and filmed them on camera.

They told me to fuck off and die repeatedly after one comment saying we shouldnt throw lgbtq people under the bus to support russia lol
For instance, fake news is fine if it’s obvious enough that people can complain about it being unfunny. None of the rules make any sense. That’s why this place is going to continue growing at a pace slower than it loses people while transphobia.coding or whatever gets 30,000 users
I’m pretty sure that’s actually because we represent a super fringe ideology within the Anglo-sphere that’s not likely to have a resurgence anytime soon, not cuz our mod policies aren’t airtight
It’s a corollary to the issue with trying to ratio a congressperson. Even if you succeed it doesn’t do anything.
I don’t think we should be making overtures to techbros who are clearly unempathetic in addition to not being materially interested in anti imperialist revolution. like people on the other lemmies. hyper redditors
Okay sorry but this one is a bit hard to parse. Can you like, reiterate with less very online leftist guy posting energy?
well, I mean I could go into my rant where I try and describe what I think represents the labor aristocracy in core countries or in India, like there’s a labor aristocracy there that benefits from the sub imperialism very distinctly also, sorry if I don’t take any dictation errors and this is hot
Uh, okay, think I kinda got that one
all right, that one’s indecipherable give me a second to fix that I’m walking. I don’t know what the fuck is Sansui is
Okay this prompts me to ask, what is the writing process that “guys like you” have for comments like these? Cuz you pull out weird ass lingo even seasoned Marxists consider obscure and odd turns of phrases that reference weirdly niche shit, so niche apparently YOU don’t even fully understand them. Like are you just googling random shit every 10 seconds that’s only vaguely connected to the topic at hand and then just try and shoe horn it into the comment or is this crap all just stuff you half remember via osmosis and you’re typing steam of consciousness style?
You actually seem to respond to people unlike the various interactions of BMF so I’m hoping for some insight here.
I mentioned in another random comment this is mostly automatic writing or dictation that I scream while walking around
basically everything that makes a guy a redditor, right? like what makes a guy go on the Chicago sub Reddit and become a power poster. It shouldn’t surprise anyone when you find out that these people are like Raytheon weirdos or their landlord do you know
go to the people who have the fakest ass job, work at salesforce, any of that shit, or they make their money off of investments are off of finance. Those are not the people we need to propagandize for any reason
So what I’m saying is Lenny is a fucking shit hole I don’t care what anyone there thinks. I kind of care what you guys think because like your analysis is interesting to me not just because I like take it as gospel but because like it’s understand me where you’re coming from.
Okay, but like this seems in conflict with your earlier complaint about the sub stagnating in growth. The reason were this way is cuz we basically keep this community as a sound proofed bunker from the rest of bazinga brained society (threw that one in there to try and make you feel included)
Oh yea I’m saying like any attempt to take on aspects of the other communities for growth would be stupid as fuck. But this site should still be attracting crazed ideology soup brained twitteroids like me, ya dig.
Like ngl I have invited many people here and they almost all got instantly banned and were like these people suck, but I also don’t disagree with why they were banned. I just told them to subscribe to the bulletins and news rss
Like that was how I found out one of them was an egoist
The most annoying time of online argument person possible! We just swapped Covid bews

That’s the point, it’s fine when people dish it out at me as long as there’s a general perception of righteous nonsense around it. Keep deflecting then hovering whenever you can’t refute a point if you want.
I actually mostly agree with you, was just pointing out you haven’t been exactly sweet as peach cobbler in this thread so, yah know, don’t be surprised if someone tells you to fuck off.
Oh yeah as far as hostility related to pointing out international pressure against the Russian govt from you all has clearly backfired. Meanwhile our own govts offer nothing other than meaningless aesthetic victories. I didn’t mean just related to me also incredibly funny idiom.
Idk you just pop up to say “new site tagline” which I find funny bc it’s part of the whole culture here of flip flopping between demanding people take this highly interchangeable medium of communication seriously as a Cool Hangout Space and telling people they are too online
Well fyi I lean pretty hard in the “cool hangout space” direction so don’t single me out here. The more serious discussions we have can be informative but let’s be honest, none of this shit we don’t on this niche forum is likely to ever affect anything in the real world. That includes criticizing Russia for its regressive LGBT policies AND supporting it in its fight against NATO.
Edit: also did you pull a Ulysses’s and edit your comment without making it clear which part is an edit? Cuz this is reading differently then when I first saw it.

Who’s getting scolded for that here? I see people saying they think the Russian governments treatment of queer people is bad (which it is) and then you scolding them for brining it up.
Your original point about this being a garbage propaganda outlet that OP shouldn’t have posted here stands, but seems the story they reported on did actually happen. So… what just not acknowledge it? Or only acknowledge it while also acknowledging that Russia is a force against US hegemony? Cuz if it’s the latter that seems like what most people are already doing here.

It is both of those things, since they are not contradictory. It is a cool hangout space for way too online leftists who need to touch grass. Posting here is fun, but it is not praxis and we should never ever forget that, even if we never ever log off.
