I’m not sure what’s going on over there, but half the time I see a post from there or go into a comment section and it’s just…bad. Like old reddit the_donald bad. Constant trolling, etc. You TS just really bad vibes. I’ve been blocking the communities as they come up, but I’m not sure what else I can do.

You do realize that NATO and it's member states routinely prop up regimes that persecute the queer community, right? Basic example, universally exerting military pressure in defence of commerce and logistics for trade with Saudi Arabia, a place where we would be executed. They don't stand for our rights or safety, Turkey and Poland are member states for crying out loud! This is a multinational organization who's purpose is increasing arms trade and conflict, not crusade for queer liberation - it would be doing it's business (and does) regardless of human and queer rights violations going on within it's boarders. Queer people outside the west see it and have very negative sentiments towards NATO, do you really want to silence their voices when they'll tell you directly how organizations like this have directly contributed to their suffering? It's a government/military organization, not a human rights organization, it doesn't need anyone here to be running cover for it.

I've clarified my post. I was referring to wishing death on the people of NATO, not simply calling for the dismantling of the organisation.

Edit - I won't be responding to the brigade. Your own instance has rules against it. Pull your heads in

people of NATO

Are you talking about those that work within the NATO organisational structure? You realise they aren’t conscientious objectors. They are willing participants.

No one is wishing anyone death on an instance I admin. It's a pretty clear line.

Which it is you think the users on lemmygrad are doing with the statement "death to NATO". I'll give you an easy and clear list to pick from.

  1. Wishing for the disbandment of NATO
  2. Wishing for the people involved in the NATO organisation to die
  3. Wishing for the people in NATO nations to die
