Years back, when the homosexual/pervert crowd was first having their “Pride Parades” of nearly naked men in thongs and they tried to do the same thing in Russia, they were beaten and chased from the streets.
So a lot of us thought that Russia had the right idea, stop all the perversion before it starts instead of letting it go on and keep getting worse, the way it has here. The same goes for groups like BLM and Antifa, and the Negro riots over some violent, drug-addict blacks being killed by police, along with the looting and burning. None of that was allowed to happen in Russia, and for that I give them total credit. Good job.
BUT… it doesn’t end there. Ever since the invasion of Ukraine, Russian citizens have been protesting this war, and the government has been responding to the protests the same brutal way that Joseph Stalin did in his time. There are stories coming out of Russia about children, 10 to 12 years old, who have spoken up against the war during school classes, and the government has imprisoned their families and put them in government wards.
The obvious purpose in this is to scare the hell out of the people and silence their dissent, and it probably works pretty well in doing that, but it doesn’t change the minds of those who see their government as oppressive.
Our own government has pulled off stunts like this, our own government is oppressive and uses Stalinesque tactics, the January 6 demonstrations in Wash. DC that the government turned into a pogrom against anyone supporting Donald Trump, is a glaring example but there’s plenty of others that are less visible or reported on, of our government oppressing people who speak out. Like the hundreds of doctors who spoke against the Covid scam and were fired and even stripped of their licenses to practice.
I used to think that Russia was stronger morally than the USA, but they’re not. Both nations are self-destructing in their own preferred ways, along with the rest of the world. Soon the only good places left to live will be some remote islands in the Pacific where no one ever goes.
