I’ve been playing Viewfinder, which is a first-person puzzle game where you can pick up photos/drawings/etc and place them in the world so that you can walk into them. Not too far yet so I don’t know if it’ll evolve into such, but so far it gives mindbending puzzler vibes like Superliminal, Antichamber, or Manifold Garden.

Is that Kevin Costner?

Not a Russia expert by any means but this is how I understand the situation:

• The Eastern Orthodox Church gained influence after the fall of the USSR and used it to spread anti-LGBT sentiment
• Russian leadership are conservative reactionaries and the KPRF, the largest opposition party (and only nominally communist), is also quite reactionary
• Due to the way the US weaponizes the concept of human rights, being anti-queer is seen as being anti-imperialist in many countries outside the West, including Russia

I had another point that I forgot while I was typing this up because I’m trying to function on 3 hours sleep lol. If I remember it I’ll update

Capitalists love to use floating signifiers to galvanize reactionaries of different stripes
