LGBTQ Ukrainians are between a rock and a hard place now. For all the governmental posturing about how progressive it is, very little actual progress has been made, and its being curbed by nazis at every step. Still, the LGBTQ community staunchly supports the current nazi government like a good liberals they are.
They believe that the good guys always win, and they also believe themselves to always be the good guys. Hence the mental gymnastics.
You’re pretty much spot on.
I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m glad to hear a comrade feels better!
You can’t get out legally if you’re an adult male. You’d have to pay an exorbitant amount of money to get smuggled through the border, and it’s still very risky.
Usually it involves a long journey through the wilderness with non-zero chance of being lost, starved, frostbitten (at the colder times of year) having dangerous encounters with wildlife and even more dangerous ones with the customs.
Thank you, comrade… I’m just really hoping that the war will end soon, and I’ll be able to move away. I hate this place with a passion.
It was an unironically horrible year for a tankie, stuck in Ukraine, while my SO is right over the eastern border. I’m so tired… It’s hard to imagine normal life now.
I live in Ukraine, so as you can imagine, liberals here have long since gone full fash. The situation here is a really good illustration for the old “scratch a liberal” adage: a lot of people have been more than scratched, and in response they’ve went absolutely rabid.
Honestly? None. The war continues to ravage my county, I’m sinking deeper and deeper into depression. I don’t think I can go on for much longer. I see no future for myself, nothing excites me anymore, every day is a chore and I go to bed hoping I won’t have to wake up.
All the actual left has either fled the country, went underground or died. As any fascist government, Ukrainian one first came for communists.
