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.

    What I mean in that screed is

    1️⃣ people remained “neutral” but kept supporting the western narrative throughout the past 2 years

    2️⃣ people don’t have an actual geopolitical analysis, they have the libertarian “muh tax dollar spending” antiwar argument which is completely anemic. i would prefer ancient bandung maoist takes

    3️⃣ the accusation of marcyism against people who do actual geopolitical analysis has been making a comeback, it’s a great way to learn nothing from all this

    what I recommend instead is everyone read abt that & also how western NGOs used things as innocuous as techno to lay the groundwork of the anti ethnic russian movement. look at how the far-right grows in poland etc
