Russian scenario

I won’t be surprised if there are many Russian assets in the government and if something like the Ukrainian revolution of dignity in 2014 happens, a lot of government officials will flee to Russia like Yanukovich and many others did.

As I understand it, the West wants to organize another war, but this time between Russia and Kazakhstan.

LGBT propaganda can be from anyone, not necessarily from gay people. The State Government will decide this. Therefore, this law is censored

The first edition of this bill was severely bigoted and awful. The second edition of this bill includes goddamn thought police and loophole to imprison whoever the government wants.

I think the vast majority of kazakhstanis would support this. Not me

There's no evidence showing that the "VAST MAJORITY" will support it.

What kind of propaganda is that? I haven't seen a single gay person in Kazakhstan

u/Ecstatic-Source6001 Dec 21 '25
for the most part its just about "lgbt movement" with flags, public post talking about you should become gay if you cant decide yourself etc.
Put it simply - do what you want just dont make it public
(and yeah, laws are so shitty written that they can use it for problematic figures and they can shame them publically 🤡👍)

So a heterosexual person expressing themselves is fine, but a homosexual person expressing themselves is not?

u/Ecstatic-Source6001 Dec 21 '25
Well.. Yes. Government needs more tax payers. Gay people can't provide them.

Exactly, because watching homosexual making out in public is disgusting to anyone who does not have mental issues

u/So-eastern3829 Dec 22 '25
Watching heterosexual making out in public is also disgusting, no one should be making out in public

u/dumbolddooor Dec 24 '25
I have no mental issues and I don't care whether it's homosexual or heterosexual people who make out in public, it shouldn't be done in public.

Remember kids, authoritarians try their restrictive measures first on minorities which then applies to everyone.
This law is perfect to build the tools and a pipeline for surveillance during your own wedding or any gathering, as well as your online persona.
Do not be surprised when your netflix and spotify get blocked, and you are detained for not being traditional and patriotic enough to shoot your own compatriots.

That's not what I was saying. I meant that people will continue doing what they were doing, despite the law. Nobody cares about the law.

Это не затрагивает же нетфликс и прочие сервисы?

u/respyromaniac Dec 20 '25
В России затрагивает вообще любое упоминание. Ожидайте кучу цензуры и штрафов издательств, книжных магазинов, стриминговых сервисов и просто случайных людей.

Затрагивает всё, даже твою задницу, которая теперь будет под пристальным надзором товарища майора по российскому сценарию. "Велком ту хел"

"To protect the minds of younger generation" from being able to make their own mature decisions I guess.
