lol originally I had the spacing between “queer” and “rights” as well as “are non-” and “negotiable” not be as big, but it was hard to read when they were on the white stripe. Alas.
Under the Allied occupation, some homosexuals were forced to serve out their terms of imprisonment regardless of time served in the concentration camps. The Nazi version of Paragraph 175 remained on the books of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) until the law was revised in 1969 to decriminalize homosexual relations between men over the age of 21.
The allies marched gay people right back into the camps they liberated. LGBT people have been getting shit on for a long time, it’s disingenuous to act like it’s somehow specific to communists
I love that the lore for the GDR’s state funding of gay culture was a bunch of Stasi dorks sitting around a table going “gay people are a huge security risk because if NATO discovers them they could be blackmailed with the threat of being outed.” And then someone is like “well what if we just normalized homosexuality and funded gay culture, periodicals, clubs, discos, and made it safe and encouraged for them to be out in society?” And all the stasi people are like “brialliant!” Coming to the right conclusion in the most bizarre way.
Makes me think about how easy it was to turn US spies and intelligence agents because they always had housing or medical or gambling debt so the soviets could just offer them cash to cover the problems their salaries didn’t.
Cuba is actually cool, I’ve thought that for a long time. Of all the Communists I think Castro did it best, and he made life measurably better for Cubans. I cannot say the same about the Soviet Union or the PRC.
I’m glad you’re supportive of Cuba. Thats a good step in the right direction. But I can’t agree with you about the USSR or PRC because while they both made humongous missteps quality of life on average measurably improved for citizens of both countries, and there are many statistics that show that. I’m more critical of both countries than most people here (I won’t even BEGIN to defend population transfers in the USSR) but I would still definitely argue against the idea that those countries didnt make “life measurably better” for the majority of their citizens compared to what came before those country’s respective revolutions.
If we’re going to talk about random other socialist countries, Cuba has covered all costs of medical transition under their nationalised health service since 2008
My last post was a post equating NATO with gay rights with the caption “fuck tankies”. That is not the case. I simply found a screenshot on discord and posted it because I was unreasonably angry at hexbear due to the brigading of the discussion thread. Hexbear does have some nice people among their very politically charged communities. Have a picture of sleeping ducks instead.
for the record this user has 130 comments in their community and has yet to be banned. letting 196 on a trans instance was a mistake, it would have been better to grab people from /r/traaa or tgcj
if anyone said anything extremely transphobic like this here theyd be banned instantly, longevity of the account or no
absolutely 100% what i’ve witnessed lurking on all the big active threads lately. people deliberately misconstruing what we’re saying, outright LYING about shit (like they were downvoted/called some slur that is on our filters), and just bullshit concern trolling about shit liek BriGaDiNG (you mean using the fucking website? lmao) allll that shit annoys me.
Saw one going off about how hexbear is shitting up lemmy.world - the site that famously pre-emptively defederated. And the mentioned claims of downvoting/slur use that are technically impossible. They really will make anything up nothing to stand on.
No, we must appease them further. We must debase ourselves. We must constrict ourselves. We must put on the armour that Giovanni made for Mewtwo to constrict our powers and serve them. We exist to serve liberals their tepid, stale-ass ideology and memes on a webforum run by ostensible communists.
Told you guys they’re just going to make up excuses to hate us. Unsuprising that anti-communists would use NATO-like tactics
They also posted a nato flag with the words “gay right are non-negotiable” unironically, bunch of vaushites
No matter, I shall simply post harder.
The GDR insignia makes everything cooler
Big disagree.
State sponsored gay bars go brrrrrrrrrrrr
lol ya we know loser now get back in ur locker
Lol. Hie thee back to whencever rock thou lurk beneath!
QUEER ARE NON-RIGHTS NEGOTIABLElol originally I had the spacing between “queer” and “rights” as well as “are non-” and “negotiable” not be as big, but it was hard to read when they were on the white stripe. Alas.
Hell yeah.

That’s a GDR flag (also known as East Germany), at the time the GDR had some of the best LGBT rights in the region.
What does Stalin have to do with that? Not every communist symbol is Soviet. Please actually bother to do some basic research before responding.

That’s fair, actually.
Hey! Thanks for visiting! You should check out Cuba’s family code!

Compared to literally every country in NATO, yes

Death to NATO
What if it was GAYTO and it was run only by gay countries like Belize and Thailand?

Another blahaj user called it out and the user deleted it and apologized.Edit: I was thinking of a different post, but this was removed.
Not seeing this apology anywhere
Here
It was
but they thought better of it.
Ah, okay. I thought you were talking about the user posted in the OP of the thread
Oh my mistake, I got the posts mixed up, this was also removed but I don’t think the user apologized, sorry.
Yeah I checked their post history and nothing

No the lemmy.world one is true. I’ve been hacking the internet and doing technomancy to make them post bad takes! 🤖
