How much is also the hate on LGBTQ and woke people? Just curious, I see in Romaia the rise of such fascist group that suck on Putin because he also wants the woke and LGBTQ dead and he is a Christian men that kills the assassinated the traitors in the name of God.


The culture war stuff FOLLOWS from economic depression. Once someone is in the financial dumps, they're already angry, and it's easy to redirect that anger to meaningless culture war stuff.


See 1930s Germany. Even Hitler didn't arise in a vacuum, he gave people an outlet to express their anger at a very real economic disaster.


The anti-woke grassroots rhetoric around here is more about how much of a waste of time it is when they should be focused on issues that matter to people's livelihood. It's not hate on LGBTQ so much as irritation that something that doesn't seem to matter (to them) is given so much emphasis while the working class struggles.


It’s… largely being given emphasis by ‘their’ side, though? Which side of the political divide spends all their time going on about trans people? I mean, it’s very much the right.


This is 100% correct based on all the trump voters I've spoken to.


But is it given so much importance by the politicians?

The reason I ask is that here in Romania the issue is completly fabircated by the social media and amplified by the algorithm. What I mean there was not a single law pro LGBTQ passed in Romania, the educational system is not teaching children about LGBTQ, there are no changes in schools or other places to unixes bathrooms, no forced or assisted transitioning programs.

It is just media with conspiracies like the COVID vaccines makes you gay, 5G makes you gay, Bruxelles wants to make your children gay, Soros wants to make the children gay. There are also staged video with transexuals making a circus and shared on TikTok. So now we have a lot of idiots that actually thinks that we need to surrender to Putin so he can kill the traitors and the gays.
