Image transcription: A GIF image of sad spunch bob with random PowerPoint-esque transitions. The caption reads: "LGBTQ+ tankies when the dictator they installed throws them in a gulag for 'sexual deviancy' rather than rewarding them for their efforts in the revolution". End transcription.
Internet communists when there is never any revolution so all their obnoxious internet arguments were for naught.
This shit is so boring.

Very much unrelated but thank you so much for putting an image transcription :)
But you don't see, comrade!!!!! We must tactically support the weaker evil that is defending values even more contrary to our own in this conjuncture where they're provoking perfectly avoidable, immense human suffering!!!! If we didn't, perhaps I'd have to question if my previously held positions were actually the rational conclusion to my core philosophical values, rather than contrarian posturing!!!1!! ::: spoiler spoiler (Also I'm scared that everyone else might look at me funny for saying something that the libs say or that the mods might remove me, but do not say this aloud) :::
Fuck lemmy.world and its mods
oh god, i’m so tired of the shit-slinging, can we move on already?
Could just as easily be:
"LGBTQ+ libs when the democratically elected neoliberal they campaigned for sends "thoughts and prayers" when a fascist nutjob opens fire at their parade rather than rewarding them for their votes by doing anything meaningful to protect them from the next one."
Jesus these "dunks" are ridiculous.
First, I'm not a liberal.
Second, it's fucking shitty that liberal politicians only really give a shit about queer people when it's convenient. Though your version literally makes no sense because the neoliberal isn't throwing them in a gulag like, say, Stalin did. Their inaction towards injustice is bad but you're saying it's as bad as perpetrating the injustice itself which is just stupid.
Third, this is a tankie-free subreddit, so fuck off.

This is so true. Not a single one of those authoritarian countries is good to LGBTQ people. Not one.
Yeah it boggles the mind that so many groups worship Trump, an elite narcissist who would throw them in a meat grinder if it would earn him a dollar.
Hmm, I seem to remember that it was BRD and not the DDR that decided that Gay and Trans people in Nazi concentration camps had to stay there. And it was the DDR that created state ran gay bars. But no, we will continue to only compare the homophobia and transphobia of 1950's second world nations with post-2013/2017 reductions in homophobia and transphobia first world nations. It's not like Cuba is one of the most progressive nations in the world on LGBTQ rights post Family Code changes.
I've heard a lot of conflicting stuff about Cuba. I've heard it's a good place to live in but a one-party system is kinda sus.
The USSR was dogshit though.
It is almost like Left and Right have different beliefs about LGBTQ people. Even if there is progress over time on both sides.
