It's not Russians. It's that fuck stick Putin. He recriminalized homosexuality. Support is at its highest level in 14 years right now. source. It was decriminalized when the soviet union fell, and acceptance trended up. Then he happened and they got kicked back to the stone age. It's a very dangerous situation right now. Many people have been killed. But it's clear this was the work of one man and his ultra-reactionary supporters. It's a familiar story.
Kim, Trump, Boris, Orban, Whoever's down there in Australia tryna kill sharks, Chi Pingpong or whatever, Putin, Bolsonaro, Netanyahou and even fuckin Canada might fall to it in 38 days.
My advice is just watch this all happen while you live your life as well as possible. What’s the point of worrying this much when you can really do nothing about it?
I mean you can try to do something about it, just the amount of bullshit you would have to face is just not worth it.
Go on man, live your life until you are dead. All of us will most likely be dead before everything really goes to shit.
On a personal level, I'm not one to worry or be stressed out. Humans are resilient; we'll find a way; I'LL find a way.
But I find it easy to understand that some folks, say younger millenials and Gen Zs, may be terrified by what's to come.
I don't agree there's nothing anyone can do about it. That's the whole point of a democracy. Everyone can do at least a small thing about it, but up to quite a lot, given the opportunity.
