Question for pro-Putin Liberals

Speaking about gay people during a Crimean government session on Tuesday, the region’s de facto leader Sergei Aksyonov said “we in Crimea do not need such people.” In comments reported by the Russian news agencies Interfax and Itar-Tass, Aksyonov said that if the LGBT community tried to hold public gatherings, “our police and self-defence forces will react immediately and in three minutes will explain to them what kind of sexual orientation they should stick to.” He added that Crimean children should be brought up with a “positive attitude to family and traditional values.”’

I’m really really curious who the Ian Welshes of the world find it in themselves to support this people-hating regime and still consider themselves Liberals.

  1. People seem very naive about how left wing cultural politics works, but it is no different from right wing cultural politics. It’s not based on rational principles. Rather, you take a side that is calculated to bring down the opposite side, deemed stronger. Once the side deemed stronger is defeated, you factionalise yet again and try to bring down the stronger elements within the group you had already supported. You keep doing this until everybody is defeated. This is supposed to bring about the best possible situation for humanity, where nobody dares to stick their head up too high.
