An "independent". I have yet to meet an independent that WASN'T just a Democrat who was to embarrassed to admit he was a Democrat. I think I voted for a Democrat judge or two once, but that was only because there was no one else on the ballot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes they are "moderates", and sometimes they are "independents".

The Real timschochet 6,756 Posted January 14, 2023 5 hours ago, JustinCharge said: soviets rose to power with guilt trips and personal attacks. they rose to power by falsely pretending to care about the plight of marginalized groups. they falsely swore to fight for gay rights and minority rights. I’m going to challenge most of this. I’ve read about two dozen books on Soviet history. Russian history was the subject of my college thesis. The Soviets, who took power in 1917, did not know what “gay rights” were. Nor did they swear to protect the rights of ANY minority, only the Proletariat (workers). They claimed, falsely, to be a mass movement; one of their stated goals was to eliminate all minority groups.

You’re taking anecdotes and trying to make a larger point, but it’s incorrect: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism_and_LGBT_rights The Bolsheviks decriminalized all sexual laws, some of which were anti-homosexual. But in practice there were no “gay rights”; it wasn’t a concept. Despite the BBC article there were no gay marriages. Most gay people stayed in the closet as they did in all other societies. Modern gay rights activists, particularly leftist ones, seek out historical examples of tolerance for gays in the past as a means of criticizing western culture and also, incidentally, attempting to find good things about leftist regimes like the Bolsheviks.

It’s interesting reading. They don’t contradict anything I wrote. The Soviets decriminalized ALL Tsarist laws about sexuality (and almost all Tsarist laws period).They did not, as state policy, support gay rights. They did not support minority rights. They did not gain power by appealing to guilt and personal attacks. Nearly 100% of what Justin asserted, as part of his defense of a prediction of nuclear war, was totally false and demonstrates his total ignorance on the subject.

He thinks nuclear war is coming and that is sad. But all of his facts and conjectures were wrong. His claim was the Bolsheviks played nice with the gays for a short period of time and then turned against them. Sounds like he has a decent claim to that assertion. It certainly isn’t him talking out of his ass, given the numerous articles on the subject. If you actually knew about the specific subject he raised you would have told him why he was wrong, not that he made it up. The articles on it leave the subject, at the very least, up for debate. You didn’t do that. But you learned of them about 3 minutes after I did, so it’s understandable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
