Why do they care if we are gay?
They don’t. They care about tying us up in endless bullshit fuckery.
Oh they do. They care very much about queer people. That’s why they have essentially made them illegal. And that’s why they’re doing this- they think we hate queer people just as much as they do rather than it being a mixed bag.
They don’t give a fuck if we live or die, let alone if we’re gay. They might give a fuck that their own declining population is gay, that I grant you.
They want everyone to follow their vision of morality. That includes demonizing queer people to the point of making them illegal.
They don’t care at all. What they do care is sowing polarization and distrust between western citizens. Russia benefits most when we (the West) are divided on various social issues, which leads to distrust of authorities, election of extremists in office and eventually weak and corrupt states and governments that are easily controlled or countered by Russia.
it strikes me as odd that the only effective counter to this is to ignore the very real and legitimate harm caused by our hegemony.
They want to undermine and weaken the US by fostering division. Standard KGB playbook.
Because Russia would love nothing more than America to play second fiddle in their orchestra, and if they can’t have that they want us at each other’s throats. We are an easy and omnipresent scapegoat so Russia can weaponize that to sow discord and possibly get us on the “anti equality” bandwagon. In short, it’s step one of the Russo-American axis powers.
They want to feel superior. If some people are different, then they are inferior, or weird.
This is why calling Trump weird has been so successful.
Maybe I should feel complimented that halfway around the world a kgb agent turned dictator felt he had to do all this to stop me from living my life.
