Neo-Nazism's rise in Ukraine is due to the silent approval of Ukraine’s political and military elites who prefer to turn a blind eye because they rely on the far-right for their military potential, Ukrainian academic Marta Havryshko tells Natylie Baldwin. By Natylie Baldwin Special to Consor

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.

    They don't in Russia, either. I'm sure isolated incidents exist, but it's not widespread. The reason for the Russian crackdown is bc Civil Society groups in the West, including USAid were using your propaganda against the Russian government in an attempt at Regime Change. You're being used Grasshopper for geopolitical purposes and your crowd is too ignorant to know.

    LGBT+ existence and discussion is literally criminalized by law in Russia, even worse since 2022 cracking down on sexual minorities even harder. People have been already jailed for this by the government, abused for this en masse. Trans people cannot get the medical care they need anymore to transition, leading to misery and suicides.

    My and my kin's right to exist is not idpol, you sick ass.

    @KHROMATIKAL@lemmy.ml

    I explained to you why it was criminalized, your kind is being manipulated for regime change purposes. The naïveté of young people like you seems endless.

    You didn't explain shit. Putin had free control over these laws, openly stated that LGBT people should be exterminated/removed for more than a decade, and then did exactly that through law and violent policing.

    "Muh foreign propaganda did this" you people are insane
