    I never understand these posts, I get the excuse of ‘but it upsets putin’ because he’ll off course be annoyed when doing his morning lemmy scroll but I don’t get the message.

    Putin is not gay or trans, the problem with him isn’t that he’s secretly queer his psychological issues stem from him being hyper masculine and deeply hetero. I understand the picture from the perspective of a Russian putin hater who is also homophobic but I don’t understand why I see it posted endlessly in more leftwing and progressive spaces

      Because he tried to have the image scrubbed from the internet. It pissed him off that much. So by everybody posting it in more and more places, it makes it infinately harder to scrub the image from all the places.

      You’re getting entirely too psychological with it.

      “It pisses him off, and this ensures more people will see the image, and save the image, and later spread the image.” That’s it. That’s the end of the thought process.
