A court in the central Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod has jailed a woman for wearing rainbow earrings, the human rights group Egida reported late Wednesday, marking the second case of its kind after Russia banned the so-called “LGBT movement” as an “extremist” organization in November.   According to Egida, law enforcement agents tasked with combating “extremism” detained the woman after a group of “aggressive people” approached her and her friend at a local cafe and filmed them on camera.

    This really confirms my theory that nobody on this site knows what critical support means.

    Critical support means you support somebody while also CRITICIZING the bad things they do.

    Critical support doesn’t mean you support everything somebody does even if some of the things are bad.

        Then enlighten us. Maybe you could try telling us all what it means instead of just telling anybody who says it’s bad to jail people to fuck off and die.

            Another highly compelling argument that doesn’t at all confirm my suspicion.

            Between this and telling everybody to fuck off and die I can’t see how anybody would possibly have any disagreements with you.

            Thanks for giving us all a masterclass in what being very not mad looks like.
