      Also why the fuck do libs have to sexualize politics

      Considering how many people still believe that Red Army “raped their way to Berlin” it’s an effective tool of propaganda

      There are two kinds of people: those who grew out of their “haha, seks funni” stage some time in late high school, and liberals.

        I never completely grew out of that first stage, but at least I’m not a liberal.

    Calling Klan members black is the best analogy I’ve seen for using homosexuality as an insult for homophobes.

      r/asablackman is one of the few good reddit subs. Parodying the “As a member of X group, f**k the people in that group!”

        They’re good, but I’m not sure if they’re good enough to defend Putin from homophobia.

      Happens literally every time you confront libs being homophobic against Putin on Reddit.

        “As a man that is married to a woman and one time had a passing thought about a hypersexuallized image of another man I can assure my queer fellows and friends that homophobia is a-ok in the instances in which I find it appealing.”

        Especially when they are using homphobia card against Putin sometimes in the same sentence.

    Libs can only make the following insults:

    • Racism

    • Homophobia

    • Bad historical/fictional allegory

      I realize that having a degree in police science in the West is worthless, the course is training in neoliberal propaganda to justify and maintain the status quo

    Had this same discussion over and over again with multiple cishet people, who kept saying that calling someone gay is indeed funny and not homophobic.

    Liberal tolerance.

    Where can I see an analysis of this homophobia that isn’t poisoned by the lens of a liberal imperialists perspective? I would like to know what’s actually happening there, not what some NPR weasel says.

      ^ After finding out that at least the majority of men executed in Iran ostensibly for “homosexuality” were actually offending pedophiles used as a human rights cudgel by the U.S., I’m dying to know what policies actually look like in these supposedly backwards places. Not goodTM much of the time, maybe, but it cannot be as demonic as the transatlantic empire likes to pretend it is. Depending on the state, of course.

      We are allies with more than a couple of states who proudly execute LGBT people and rarely throw the cudgel at them (until it’s politically expedient, like with KSA pivoting to China), so…

    The best part is how they’re falling over themselves trying to explain that they’re still allies to the LGBTQ+ community despite being openly homophobic.
