  • According to Vaganov, most of the accusations boil down to the idea that if a person disagrees with the current authorities, they must necessarily “want to overthrow the political system.”

    Seems queer people have no other choice but to become the force that the government portrays them as. When a regime actively wants you dead, you must kill the regime before it kills you. Trying to play safe and apolitical may buy some time, but unless that time is spent organizing for power, not for tea parties, the results will be very sad.

    I don’t blame people for emigrating, but I hope they don’t, and that they radicalize instead. They are much stronger than NGO heads and other politicians made them believe.









  • NGOs advertising themselves as offering legal help to vulnerable people promise help and later do nothing but saying in the media how helpful they are, or refuse said help. Playing bureaucratic football when the person is question is member of multiple vulnerable groups: why you go here for help, go there. Other NGOs trying to take control of grassroots youth movements after offering to help with some resources. More NGOs serving as PR vehicles of their solo leaders while pretending to advance human rights. Names: Insight, KyivPride, LGBT Military, EcoAction, many of them tbh, because it’s all the same “community”.

    Regarding government entities, there are constant attempts, for years, by state companies providing water, to write generated or fake values for previous month so that you can’t report correct lower values and have to pay more. Do we consider police a government entity? Haven’t helped a single time, but harassed more than once.

    About Reddit, I haven’t used it much and I can’t say anything about it besides it not very interesting. Lemmy developers are notorious assholes when it comes to anything about my country, so I’m not trying to promote it. I use other fedi tech because I like it and contribute.
