Way ahead of you.

Honestly, it’s not the taxes that kill me. It’s what they do with the money.

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.

Never forget,

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.

He’s the world’s greatest engineer, don’t you know?

That’s what they eventually did. They do that with other countries as well.

Most people here are not capitalists. They’re workers like us and would benefit from socialism. But they’ve been subjected to nationalist and capitalist propaganda their entire lives, and that makes socialism become the boogeyman. It makes it hard for them to see how much they would benefit.

About damned time. I was checking the LGBT travel advisories a few months ago, and was surprised that the US was green. Absolutely no way should anyone be travelling to Florida.

When your overton window has fallen off the bloody table.

Yeah, you should only get your news from right wing media owned by oligarchs. That’s how you know it’s true.

It’s never about the source. It’s about the content.

The only user I’ve blocked so far.

I already blocked him. I’m native and I’m somewhat used to hearing this nonsense. But it still doesn’t do good things for me, and he has nothing useful to say anyway. It’s all debate perversion with a hard on for colonialism. Anyone with half a brain should be able to see that it’s just a lame attempt to justify the subjugation of Hawaii.

I confused you with the other fascist above, whose post I was replying to.

Hawaii was annexed in 1898. So, why dredge up anger at the conquest over 100 years later?

You’re just here sealioning on an attempt to justify ethnic cleansing. The Holocaust comparison is NOT a false equivalence by the way. Hitler was inspired by the US.

Because you are saying it was 100 years ago, so your crimes no longer matter. The holocaust is coming up on 100 years ago now as well. I’m guessing that all the peoples murdered by the Nazis should just get over it and start loving the fascists now as well?

As for your garbage referendum, see my reply to your other post with this garbage.
