Russian security forces raided gay clubs and bars across Moscow Friday night, less than 48 hours after the country’s top court banned what it called the “global LGBTQ+ movement” as an extremist organization.
Police searched venues across the Russian capital, including a nightclub, a male sauna, and a bar that hosted LGBTQ+ parties, under the pretext of a drug raid, local media reported.
Eyewitnesses told journalists that clubgoers’ documents were checked and photographed by the security services. They also said that managers had been able to warn patrons before police arrived.
First they came for the >!socialists!< democrats, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a >!socialist!< democrats.
Then they came for the >!trade unionists!< journalist, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a >!trade unionist!< journalist.
Then they came for the >!Jews!< Gays, and I did not speak out— Because I was not >!a Jew!< gay.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
They already came for communists.
Udaltsov is a communist only if you think that the Soviet Union was communist. The reason for his constant arrests was his opposition to Putin.
I originally wanted to post recent arrest of communists, but didn’t find it in first try. Anyway, no sane communist will support Putin.
EDIT: Interesting… I wanted to say that Putin arrests communists too.

All very deep, except the Russians probably arrest or kill anyone who speaks out, so it’s not exactly as simple as that.
And the Nazis didn’t?
The Nazis didn’t kill their own. So no, not initially
You should really brush up on your history. It’s estimated that up to 77,000 Germans who were a part of the resistance were executed and an additional 800,000 were arrested. You’re right that Nazis didn’t kill other Nazis, they killed Germans who resisted Nazism.

Oh, come on, it was a lawless land ruled by violence. Everybody could find themselves before a firing squad (after a few days of relentless torture, of course) or just be beaten to death, party membership wasn’t a guarantee against this. That was pretty intentional. That was the Nazi idea of a proper society - absolute despotism, they were also huge fans of the Middle-Eastern examples of such.
If you spoke out against the regime, you could easily be imprisoned or executed, blonde hair and blue-eyes or not.
The fuck is this bullshit?!.. It’s as if some American schoolboy of the dumber kind with a confederate flag on the wall thinking Wehrmacht was “honorable” and didn’t know shit wrote this.
Also have you read what the judge said on Remarque’s sister’s trial, after which she was executed?
Something like “your brother regrettably has evaded us, but you haven’t.” That was the only reason.
I think you should also read something about courts in Nazi Germany. There wasn’t even any pretense at justice.
Are you historically illiterate or a troll?
It’s often said “The first country the Nazis subjugated was Germany.”
Not even Nazis were safe from Nazis.
