A court in the central Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod has jailed a woman for wearing rainbow earrings, the human rights group Egida reported late Wednesday, marking the second case of its kind after Russia banned the so-called “LGBT movement” as an “extremist” organization in November. According to Egida, law enforcement agents tasked with combating “extremism” detained the woman after a group of “aggressive people” approached her and her friend at a local cafe and filmed them on camera.
I must admit that I haven’t met any who do so can’t argue for or against this. I can understand that they might have done 20-30 years ago but I don’t see them “simpling for” any of them really.
But neither Russia or China are kommunist regimes any longer. Maybe back when the term was coined, as you described in your quote but not any longer. Before it dead the community now it is the leader
I like to imagine these accounts learned about tankies only 6 months ago when they joined Lemmy and were encountered by lots of leftists with wildly different international worldviews than them.
As a byproduct, it’s just their way of making sense of those differences they don’t otherwise understand.
Nobody that they’re describing would actually defend shit like this, but thats about as well as they understand those people.
