What the fuck. This is horrific and needs to be stopped.

All those people who were like "if I were alive I would've done different" for things like the holocaust and the Armenian genocide have a lot to fuckin think about while this happens during their lifetimes.
This is absolutely abhorrent. Fuck the world.

One of the only times where Godwin's Law is not just an internet joke, but actually incredibly real. This is crazier than what's going in the Phillipines, which is hard to believe

And yet our president refuses to offer blanket asylum.
Fuck humanity, we deserve to die.

This and the promise of the Ramadan genocide is filling me with terrible anxiety.

What sickening behaviour. This shit has it's writing on the wall already. I pray for the international community to put as much pressure as possible on this issue.

Will we ever change as a race? All signs point to no.
I can't even think about what these people are going through, nightmarish..

Yeah. It feels like it's just a matter of time until we hear that all of the prisoners have been executed.

They're gay, it's easy to sweep this under the rug when there's barely 30 countries on earth where you're safe-ish.

Out of just fucking stupid spite to antagonize "American" values.
This is fucking disgusting. Gay people aint your power play objects, Putin.
Where is the UN, ah?

Like I said in the other thread, the world at large doesn't care. Shit like this was happening in Russia during the Olympics and no one cared. There are quite a few places in the world where being gay carries a death sentence.
They don't care about us.

uh doesn't Putin appoint the Prime Minister of Chechnya and only Russian citizens are allowed to run for higher office...
and the PM of Chechyna said a few weeks ago that he plans on eliminating gay from the country (whatever that means) by Ramadan (end of May)
Why would they? The Russian government hates LGBT people.

You're right, I misinterpreted what I read about the state earlier. It's not rogue, just that the Russian government lets it be run as an Islamic theocracy despite it being against Russia's constitution.
Nothing. No one will challenge Russia militarily for gay people being murdered/killed/jailed. Especially a US under Trump. There is almost zero options here.
Their can be more sanctions that aren't toothless, but no one will do them because some gays in Chechnya are being killed. That is the dark nature of the world. If tomorrow this was happening in the US, and the people supported it, who in the world would stop the atrocity or proceed? Imagine now when Putin goes or has to step down again, a strongman like Kadryov would be wildly popular.
Horrible. What can be done to formally denounce this as an abuse on human rights? What can international communities do to help?
Get out. Why the fuck would anyone want to kill all these innocent prisoners of persecution? To ruin the surrounding areas for ages due to radiation and doom all the neighboring and downwind communities to increased risks of cancer?
International communities won't do a damn thing to help. The most we'll see is a toothless condemnation that says "*Insert country here* does not support discrimination against people based on gender, sexuality, or race."

Let this be a reminder to many of you. I know you won't think on it much. But I think about this kind of thing every day.
This is what it's really like to be a minority in this world.
Your life is worth nothing. To the vast majority of the planet you can commit wanton genocide and nobody will lift a finger. Target the right people.
Being gay is fucking terrifying. Because you never know when some loon that thinks like these supposedly far off people in this supposedly far off place will just pop off and start killing even in your own back yard.
Shits scary, and it's important to remember and think on how little progress we as a species have made.
For all our new devices and services, were still willing to kill each other over absolutely nothing.

We will not do anything until people die. Even then, I doubt we'll do anything serious.

Seems plausible but I'm skeptical of pink news, towleroad/etc. Any other sites pucking it up?
It not as if Russia wouldn't bomb the fuck out of them like they did in 2 recent wars there.
If Russia wanted Chechnya to stop doing something, you better fucking believe they would make them.
