    Leo is a devout Christian who had become increasingly disillusioned with…the rise of the LGBTQ movement.

    Although he is committed to staying in Russia out of a sense of “destiny”, he now says he misses the freedoms that have shaped the American personality.

    “[In] Russia you don’t have these human rights values.”

    I mean…

      these human rights values

      LOL, that’s just FAFO with a chef’s kiss. Kudos for honesty though. I hope he becomes reformed and much more skeptical of bullshit narratives; although the article does not read like it. More like he’s comfortable with a 50/50 divide in his mind. Christianity, I guess.

      In some unmentioned corners of lemmy, they’d tell you without a hint of irony, that this is Western Propaganda and Russians are enjoying much more freedom than people in lets say Germany, where oppression has reached unheard of levels. …

      or something like that.

      I hate gays more than I love human rights

      hope the guy gets sent to the front and barely survives just so he can share his message with all the other idiots.

      bet he’ll see dudes blowing dudes for socks or boots on the front lines.

        I hate gays more than not being homeless.

        Imagine hating a group of people SO much you’d rather be homeless in Russia of all god damn places.
