That is just not true. Homosexuality was absolutely a crime.
Karl Gorath, a gay man, was first convicted under the law in 1934. He was sent to the Neuengamme concentration camp and later to Auschwitz, where he survived until its liberation by the Soviet Red Army on Jan. 27, 1945.
In 1946, more than a year after the end of the war, Gorath was prosecuted again. During a court appearance, the same judge who had convicted him during the Nazi era greeted him with the words: “You’re here again.”
Gorath was sentenced to five years in prison and later spent decades battling to undo the injustices done to him. His Nazi-era conviction was annulled shortly before his death in 2003. Post-war convictions were only annulled in 2017.
Yes. Sorry, best source I could find in the time available. But it’s true and well documented. West Germany specifically, although other western countries weren’t great either.
That doesn’t match with my readings of the history. Here is a larger article about it. I’ve also heard mention of a soviet delegation to the famous LGBT clinic in Germany. That wouldn’t indicate that it was an oversight either.
Regardless, even under Stalin, I don’t think the Soviet Union was demonstrably worse than the west in queer rights . The Soviets didn’t reimprison prisoners with pink triangles liberated from concentration camps for example.
Permanent high level waste processing is still in progress, but they plan to process it very deeply under the Gobi desert. They’re also developing new techs to aid in disposal, as well as waste recycling.
Of course not. When the US does it, it’s just how the world works. When anyone else does it, it’s evil authoritarianism.
There was a dipshit in here the other day who said “free Tibet” and “return Hong Kong” in a completely unrelated post.
I told him he should free Hawaii and return whatever land he lived on. He said that it was conquered fair and square.
There’s just absolutely no self reflection in these people. I think it’s fear. Fear that someday, someone is going to do to them what they did to us. But simultaneously unable to deal with the truth.
This is just like the time that NASA faked the moon landing by creating a set on the moon.
Translation: We didn’t think you’d notice the blatant support of fascism, we’ll try harder to conceal it in the future.
I remember hearing about it (possibly on some queer subreddit), and thought it was amazingly brave that she could be so open about it. It’s sad that it’s turned so ugly, but I’m glad she’s still staying strong.
I had to look it up. Looks like you’re right. I’ve always thought that pagan referred to most of the non abrahamic religions. But I guess it’s just for the white ones.
I was thinking of the moron in the buffalo skin in the capitol riots. I’ve also met some charming individuals in real life who do similar things.
He’s the world’s greatest engineer, don’t you know?
I’m native. Not Christian. That makes me pagan by default (I’m actually atheist, but respect my ancestors and what’s left of my culture). My dad had a proper Indian funeral. I’m here. I’m honestly not sure what the right gets out of appropriating it. They don’t respect nature. They seem intent on killing the world. That is the antithesis of our primary beliefs.
My very first real post here was this. I made the argument that even if all the insane crap that Stalin is accused of doing were true, it pales in comparison to what the US actually did. Why is it okay to ignore all that murder and villainy, and instead focus on Stalin, who was actually trying to make things better for the working people, instead of enriching the rich?
Stalin: Let’s feed the hungry people!
Lib: Why are you supporting this asshole?
Yeah, I’m right here with you. I’ve explored hundreds of systems in Elite. I get excited when I find an interesting planet. It would be really weird and immersion breaking for me if every planet was interesting.
That’s what they eventually did. They do that with other countries as well.
Honestly, it’s not the taxes that kill me. It’s what they do with the money.
