MOSCOW, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Russia’s Supreme Court ruled on Thursday that LGBT activists should be designated as extremists, in a move that representatives of gay and transgender people fear will lead to arrests and prosecutions.

A Reuters reporter in court heard it announce that it had approved a request from the justice ministry to recognise what it called “the international LGBT social movement” as extremist and to ban its activities.

    Tankies are authoritarians, the left/right angle doesn’t matter there.

        Yeah, no.

        As an anarchist, it’s just authoritarianism.

        Fuck your hierarchies and top-down systems of oppression. Fuck supporting genocidal dictators.

        Go read the conquest of bread and liberate yourself.

          If you do not understand that there is a need for some authorities, you are both fucking stupid and a terrible anarchist.

          Do better. Anarchy is about identifying what authority must exist and in what form it would best exist. If your answer is, “all authority is bad.” Then you have failed. Try again.

              You are fundamentally too stupid to be an anarchist. You have to strawman what I said to even respond. You are truly pathetic.

              How about you demonstrate some of that anarchist wisdom and tell me how you’d arrest a murderer that doesn’t want to be arrested. Someone, including random other citizens at the time of need, needs the authority to forcibly stop them, you fucking idiot. Authority still needs to exist with or without cops.

              Again, you fucking idiot. Defending the necessity of authority shouldn’t implicitly defend police unless you have a child’s understanding of anarchist theory.

                  Your inability to logically engage is pathetic. You cannot even defend yourself. You’re a joke. Do better.
