[uhnope]

This was 2012. It's only gotten worse in Putin's paradise.

1. How dare you bring up human rights.

How dare you mention repression of gay people


Snowden is there and you are a NSA apologist.

2. not just gay folks..

but anyone who doesn't fit whatever stereotype they've made for themselves that defines them as 'ethnically russian'...

I remember hearing horror stories from immigrants back in the late 90s and early 2000s... theyd beat you up and destroy your passport then report you to the authorities for being undocumented...
the nationalists have been hard at work inside Russia.

3. I never doubted for a second that gays were the only target for abuse.

4. This is the second time today,

WHY are you people so concerned with oppression abroad when we have so much of it at home!?
First remove the Mote from your own eye!

[uhnope]

5. No, the question is

why don't you like the horrible truth of Russia's dictatorship documented and discussed?

[imthevicar]

6. why don't you do somthing about the things,

YOUR Government does to YOUR FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, AND CO WORKERS. In this place, it’s always acceptable no, Popular to rail against the horrors that are going on outside this nation. yeah it might be bad but, I see it for what it is. A propaganda move to make all the sheeple feel better about what is going on here at home.
Please remove the mote from your own eye FIRST! then complain about what's going on abroad. good night!
