It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

I would greet the Russians as liberators
I am too gay for this
I wonder what the difference is in LGBT rights is between the LPR/DPR and the rest of Ukraine. I've heard people say that they're functionally non-existent outside of Kiev because the local cops won't lift a finger to help you if you're being assaulted by a right wing mob.
so i know quite a lot about this: eastern europe in general sucks for lgbt people but there are certain things our group would recommend to refugees as we helped them
ukraine was in general recommended to get out ASAP because youre gonna want to go to spain, netherlands, ireland, or scandinavia generally. spain and netherlands have the better refugee policies for lgbt people when i was working on it. kiev is considered worse than st petersburg, st petersburg is generally seen as the most lgbt friend city in eastern europe which isnt saying much but a lot of russians settle for it. sometimes we would recommend people in the far east of russia to go to china and settle in beijing or shanghai as there were visa tricks you could do for refugees
plenty of times we helped people settle down in prague which i was very useful for, it was easier for people to learn a new slavic language sometimes instead of english or german or whatever. there were companies that would take advantage of visa policies to get lgbt refugees in because legislation was lacking. i know those fleeing moldavia and romania prefer spain for instance. i dont really consider czechia to be 'eastern' we're weird though i know a lot of people consider it eastern and not central.
in general you should just NOT be in ukraine. active war zones means active lynchings and since its a war zone they will generally get away with killing you for fun and that happens a lot
sorry if this came across weird sounding i just got off a long call where i spoke czech for like 3 hours straight and im tired and my brain is weirded out by swapping languages lol
