They are literally undermining human rights, including the rights of LGBTQ people. You do know that Russia is one of the harshest places for LGBTQ people. It’s literally illegal to display pride symbols in any way. Also Russia started the war in Ukraine, they literally attacked and decided to occupy a sovern country. China is probably one of the most censorship heavy countries on earth and has suppressed acts of violence like the Tienanmen Square Massacre. How can anyone support countries like this WTF?

    Harder? Being queer and unhoused can be pretty damn bad in the states. In China your boss might discriminate but you don’t have to worry about being homeless.

      A core tenet of Liberalism is that money/income is exempt from moralistic judgement. A country that lets their poor suffer homelessness isn’t ‘bad’; a country that doesn’t have Gay Pride marches is.

      It’s how they pinkwash countries like Israel and the USA
