A Russian magazine editor claims his publisher demanded he censor a book that mentions homosexuality in animals because it violates the country’s “LGBT propaganda” law.
Viktor Kovylin, editor of the scientific journal Batrachospermum, wrote on Telegram that his publisher told him the descriptions of same-sex behavior in a book on animal sexual behavior were against the law because they did not express “disgust or criticism” for the acts.
“Apparently, neutral scientific descriptions of homosexual behavior, without disgust or criticism, now fall under the category of propaganda for non-traditional relationships!” Kovylin wrote on Telegram, according to a translation.
Fascism is syncretic hate. Both things can be and are true. To the hippies they sell the idea of returning to the land and living in harmony with nature (by opposing modern life and the tolerance it encourages), while to the social conservative it proposes either an idealized past or future before or after modern “degeneracy”.
It’s just a bunch of appeals to emotions where people are trained to ignore most of what is said and only listen to what resonates with them. Eventually they must act, but even that isn’t a clean organized thing, it’s leadership doing what resonated with them.
