Yeah, let's pretend this isn't happening either, that it's all a bunch of anti-Russian propaganda conjured up by warmongers looking to blame Russia for anything and start WWIII. Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight. You two must read from the script.
Again... you could start to give a shit about the countless LGBT people that have been tortured and abused BY AMERICAN ALLIES Saudi Arabia, Qatar or Kuwait... you could give a shit that US ALLIES Saudi Arabia & Yemen have a PUNISHMENT OF DEATH for being gay. You have zero outrage for that, yet muster up pre-programed outrage about ALLEGED abuses happening in a country that doesn't even have an American Embassy located in it.
You scream SOMETHING MUST BE DONE about ALLEGED abuses in Chechnya but DON'T WANT TO LIFT A FINGER TO PREVENT US ALLIES SAUDI ARABIA & YEMEN FROM HAVING A DEATH PENALTY FOR BEING GAY.
That's how I know it's ALL ABOUT A DISINFORMATION AND SLANDER CAMPAIGN AGAINST RUSSIA... you ARE CHERRY PICKING YOUR LGBT OUTRAGE TO ONLY INCLUDE NON US ALLIES... it's a
selective outrage... one that leaves out
any country that is an ally of the US, focusing
solely on the human rights abuses of Russia, Iran and North Korea... while eschewing the monstrous human rights abuses of our allies.
In other words, your outrage is
conditional... conditional on whether or not the country or region in question is an ally of the West or not. Allies of the West get your implicit approval for their human rights abuses while you constantly harp about Russia and their allies.
In short, it's the typical hypocrisy you get out of liars, cheats and scoundrels. Sleep tight CHAMP!
Spin it all you want. The right to hate, discriminate, demonize, and persecute others for their differences is EXACTLY what you're defending.
No we are saying simply that you don't know what the fuck you are talking about and that also you are being hoodwinked due to your regional naivety and blind spot-like bias.
We aren't defending ANYTHING you describe. We are AGAINST hate, discrimination, demonizing and persecution of others for their differences... not believing a cadre of poorly constructed lies has nothing to do with that. The Russian LGBT Network is LYING... Novaya Gazeta is LYING... Human Rights Watch is being LYING to by the Russian LGBT Network... it's all a pack of lies.
if there was evidence... it would have come out by now. Chechnya might be 3rd world but even the 3rd world has cell phones... where is the footage of these detention sites? I've seen some grainy satellite shots that could literally be photos of any old building... but NO FOOTAGE... NO concrete evidence. Not even some flimsy indirect evidence... just hearsay and anecdotal accounts... NONE OF WHICH would hold up in a court of law.
You could have
waited for the evidence but that wouldn't have suited your Neo-Conservative goals... your Neo-Conservatve goals consist of constant pressure on the Russian smear campaign. It's not even thinly veiled at this point.
