While US kids are groomed to be LGBTWHATEVER+ , Russian kids are groomed to be cannon fodder.

@useless_idiot What are you talking about, Putin is just preparing to fight the liberal elites! Those are traditional values — just as traditional as values of those Taliban fellas. What can go wrong?
Seriously, I was a bit shocked to discover that some right wing westerners think of a KGB-man who was a member of a Communist Party, who is divorced and is never seen with his family and who has turned Moscow into this as some hope of white Europe 🤦
How fucked up is that?
@useless_idiot No, I think people are free to have any beliefs, but we live in a secular society, major streets of the city sholdn't be blocked like that for people to pray and there are muslims who are perfectly fine with that and well integrated into modern society.
If all those people were Christians, I'd probably not be happy about it either.
10% of Russia is Muslim, iirc.
I heard that there were quite a few raids on mosques/muslim prayer houses by the Moscow police this year. Did you hear anything about that?
@useless_idiot
> 10% of Russia is Muslim
In Moscow it's probably higher than in Russia overall as migrants usually come from Central Asia and they are mostly Muslims and the come mostly to major cities where they can make money quickly, not to rural areas.

No, but they probably crack down on all groups that aren't already infiltrated and controlled and that would include migrants, the guy they have officially responsible for communication with Muslim population is out of touch — not some influental figure in these circles and never was and they are probably trying to change that as overall paranoia increases.
