Also, in a form of pandering to Ramzan Kadyrov, warlord “President” of the Russian federal subject state, the Republic of Chechnya, the Russian central government allows Kadyrov to enforce Sharia-based punishments for gay people, including sanctioning family “honor killings” of homosexual children. Actually it seems Kadyrov thus kick-started a wave of anti-LGB repression throughout the Muslim world which is a direct consequence of the central Russian state’s pandering to Kadyrov.

I'm surprised that you have so few likes for this piece, Alex. Seems that a lot of American so-called conservatives want to bring back not only a more settled way of life as in the 1950s, but all of the downsides of the patriarchy including misogyny and homophobia - how does that make them any different from the fanatic followers of Mr M. ?

Perhaps these men are losers who need for some kind of justification for treating women and children and gays as inferior, in order to feel superior again at last? What would Americans of the 1950s have said to American men claiming a Russian ex-KGB agent and dictator as their idol?
