(CW- probably even more homophobic if you translate the comments. The only two reply emojis used are 😄 and 👍) Original facebook post in Ukrainian: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=509289528088260&set=a.291441629873052
Bastion of democracy and liberal values
Bro I fucking wish
I feel like the US (and the West in general) does a really good job covering up their true motives behind the veil of “protecting/projecting human rights (women, lgbt+, etc.)” so good that people fall for it and make comments like that, which sucks because we’re getting thrown under the bus…
In half a country abortions are borderline or actually illegal, and in the ever growing number of states trans people are deprived of healthcare and human dignity. Idk what veil they could hide behind at this point.
It’s a very shitty veil, but it seems to be working nonetheless considering people defend the genocide in Palestine and the war against Russia because of homophobia.
The US formally enters the war, but invades Western Europe to preserve minority rights.
Well they do use relatively niche issues that appeal to bourgeois liberals to excuse and justify their atrocities. A huge talking point for example is justifying genocide based on spreading a perception of homophobia amongst Palestinian society.
