    some examples of thoughts i’d anticipate russia labeling as extremist:

    • trans people are real and exist in every community
    • same sex couples don’t want to overthrow the state, inherently, they just want to exist and any at large desire to overthrow the state is a result of the state not allowing them to exist
    • Ukrainians have their own cultural identity and language, and it’s fine for them to exist as their own independent entity
    • Siberians have their own cultural identity and language, and it’s fine if they want to protect and preserve that
    • reeducation camps to russify and then adopt out children is a tactic employed exclusively by genociders and is wrong to do
