    very anti-LGBT+ policies

    Not a crime to be/do gay in Russia. They could be more progressive in allowing gay marriage. Pride parades and activism is illegal, but that is just being insufficiently pro gay to your liking. Path to getting gay marriage legal in Russia, is a matter of asking it as a friend. Same with global warming. The big falsehood promoting the war is that Russia is not defending itself and (the right) Ukrainians from provocation and propaganda of the reverse.

      I felt there was some value in not blocking you to see your geopolitical posts. I thought there was like 1 interesting idea in there for every 10 ones of (very) questionable veracity. But I draw the line at normalizing hate. Idk if you’re a moron, or you just play one (edit for less ableism: stupid or just pretend to be) on social media; ie, do you produce misinformation or disinformation?

      For those that want to assess for themselves the level of anti-LGBTQ+ in Russia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBTQ_rights_in_Russia

        Your wikilink says exactly what I did. US government is moving towards Russian government attitude. That general culture is not tolerant is not your cue to force Islamic countries to convince their women of lipstick and miniskirts attire. Freedom is awesome, but our only purpose for trying to infect liberalism in foreign countries is as a vector for CIA sponsored revolution and destruction of those countries. A genuine path for gay marriage equality in Russia is to renounce war on it, and advocating it for the love of Russians. That is the polar opposite of your hatred first, reasons 2nd, support for diminishing Russia.
