"Why are trans people in every government’s agenda now? And not for the good. It’s how much? 0.1% of the population? Just leave them be!" - Tuesday, April 22, 2025

"Why are trans people in every government’s agenda now? And not for the good. It’s how much? 0.1% of the population? Just leave them be! Why no one seems willing to tackle cost of living, housing, or healthcare? Is our society really as doomed as it seems?"

"Vladimir Putin, Conservative Icon"
"The Russian president is positioning himself as the world's leading defender of traditional values."
By Brian Whitmore
December 20, 2013

"Vladimir Putin is calling on the conservatives of the world to unite—behind him."

The Kremlin leader's full-throated defense of Russia's "traditional values" and his derision of the West's "genderless and infertile" liberalism in his annual state-of-the-nation address last week was just the latest example of Putin attempting to place himself at the vanguard of a new "Conservative International."

The speech came on the heels of the appointment of Dmitry Kiselyov—the television anchor who has said the hearts of gays and lesbians who die should be buried or burned—as head of the new Kremlin-run media conglomerate Rossia Segodnya.

And just days before Putin's address, the Center for Strategic Communications, an influential Kremlin-connected think tank, held a press conference in Moscow to announce its latest report. The title: "Putin: World Conservatism's New Leader."

I have been told that this is part of the fascist playbook.
Find a marginalized community and destroy them under any pretext you can generate.
Start with something else, find one that'll put up the least amount of resistance, the one that will generate the least amount of sympathy, one that everyone who has the smallest calcium-deposit of decency in their body will hate.
Start with pedophiles, because you know and everyone knows pedophiles deserve to get murdered, right?
Then associate your marginalized community with the community that you destroyed. Start screaming from every media outlet that trans people are pedophiles. That they will invade bathrooms to rape children.
Then branch out to your next target. Go after the gays. Keep ramping up the intensity.
Go after people who have had an abortion or who provide abortions.
Go after people who have married other races.
Make all of these actions a crime so that you can arrest and disenfranchise the people using the legal platforms of the country.
Good, upstanding people don't want to be criminals, so they will do their best to not participate in the actions that you have disenfranchised.
As long as civil war does not break out and cause your regime to be overthrown, you are guaranteed success.
If a civil war does break out, all you have to do is use the overwhelming power of your military to defeat them, and then claim every single person that rebelled against your tyranny were actually the tyrannists.
Use previous instances of civil war as evidence that you were in the right and they are in the wrong just like it was 150 years ago.
Ignore the fact that the first civil war was about ending slavery even though the second civil war will be about reinstituting slavery.
Rinse and repeat, continuously increasing the pressure until eventually you achieve your goal of picking your own race and economic political class as the supreme race and everyone else is disadvantaged.
The best part is, is that by and large, the people who are close to your ideal group of people will support you all the way up until you turn the thumbscrews on them.
And then they will say, "How did this happen? I don't understand why you would turn on me."
But nobody will be there to save them.

People in general aren't all that bright and are easily distracted by wedge issues. Trans rights conveniently distract everyone on both sides from our leaders' overall corruption and failure to address larger existential crises like climate change and massive wealth inequality.
- People in general aren’t all that bright and are easily distracted by wedge issues.
  I find it's become incredibly popular on social machine systems to say: every other person is dumb and stupid, I'm inside my artificial reality and everyone else is not very bright. This all started in March 2013 that this pattern of egoism began to surge and increase on social media populations. !MasturbatoryEgoism@lemm.ee
  
  Obviously I didn't mean you. You're too smart to be caught up in the "I'm smarter than you" fads.

Blue MAGA brain rot.
Your fascists have been fascists all on their own, long before the big scary Putler was in charge of Russia.
- Blue MAGA brain rot.
  Short shit-length Twitter-reply brain rot, media ecology literacy. People who have never studied Neil Postman's 1985 book "Amusing Ourselves To Death" about the Apple iPhone, Internet memes, and Lemmy / Reddit.
  Your fascists have been fascists all on their own, long before the big scary Putler was in charge of Russia.
  They didn't have a meeting in November 2013 in Moscow and then make a world-wide announcement in December 2013. You are deflecting from factual evidence and reality. The Ukraine war started in February 2014, right after this December 2013 announcement. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/12/vladimir-putin-conservative-icon/282572/
  long before the big scary Putler was in charge of Russia.
  Which has been 25 years Putin has been in charge of Russia. You know what they didn't have 25 years ago? Anonymous no-identity shit-talkers on Lemmy social media who give Twitter-think short-message replies to hand-wave away real authors and real citations. Also, 25 years ago when Putin came along, the Apple iPhone wasn't the meme channel outlet for Americans - that didn't until year 2007.
  long before the big scary Putler was in charge of Russia.
  Your entire simple-think Twitter-think meme-think reply comes down to: Oh you had 30 fascists in America, so don't do anything to resist that now there are 800 million of them in the world, including 340 million of them in USA who think having xAI / Elon Musk datacenter in Memphis run their life is entirely cool because a fascist machine running their life is cool because Lemmy and computers are cool! Or whatever other "I love Twitter-think short-shit" you are going for. Fox News answers to critical and serious society problems.

  "“I am the author, or one of the authors, of the new Russian system,” Vladislav Surkov told us by way of introduction. On this spring day in 2013, he was wearing a white shirt and a leather jacket that was part Joy Division and part 1930s commissar. “My portfolio at the Kremlin and in government has included ideology, media, political parties, religion, modernization, innovation, foreign relations, and ...”—here he pauses and smiles—“modern art.” He offers to not make a speech, instead welcoming the Ph.D. students, professors, journalists, and politicians gathered in an auditorium at the London School of Economics to pose questions and have an open discussion. After the first question, he talks for almost 45 minutes, leaving hardly any time for questions after all. It’s his political system in miniature: democratic rhetoric and undemocratic intent." - The Hidden Author of Putinism. How Vladislav Surkov invented the new Russia. By Peter Pomerantsev.

  Yeah homophobia and transphobia didn't exist before 2013, so true
