Ah yes, because the fascist west that actively murders its own queers is going to save your ass from the country of Turkey murdering its own queers.

Brilliantly he’s one of those clowns that sucked the anti-China anti-Cuba propaganda down.

…Okay the anti-Cuba bit did catch me a little off guard.

    Its horrible for LGBT+ rights that the west has basically taken Queer Liberation as a west issue that only they care about.

    Like on top of it being just obvious propaganda it means that countries can let their reactionaries on this subject be over looked because the US liberals and the likes have used it as a excuse to fucking kill and bomb people.

    I mean ffs I literally got into it with a friend cause I was happy how things are going right now for Iran and Yemen. “They kill Queer people!” Oh I’m sorry, you are right. Let’s just let the US kill a bunch of more children none of whom were Queer I’m sure. That will solve everything!" Yep if we bomb them a few more times I’m sure that will show them and somehow go against history and fix everything! (So much sarcasm)

    Been fighting against the rethoric but fucking hell.

      I think it’s important to ground us in the general population, not let liberals engage in this fantasy where we only become queer once we leave the closet. We are probably something like 3-5% of any population group at a very conservative estimate, which means any time the West starts mass slaughter of a population they’re also killing queer people. It’s not like the West uses cishet-seeking bombs. We are everywhere, even in places where we aren’t accepted, and when the killing starts we die just like everyone else.

    Majority of Turkish politics are consisting of Qur’an thumpers who bend over to their Western overlords and chronic liberals who bend over to their Western overlords. Most of the so-called leftists are either trots or left anticoms.

    This land gave out many traitors throughout the history, and still continues giving. The only thing that can fix this country is another independence war, and a dictatorship of proletariat ruled with iron fist and purges.

    That’s probably the type of thinking I would have had about 6 years ago or so. I can sympathize with the ignorance because I was there not too long ago myself.
