Conservatives Found A Scapegoat

And we are it, around the world conservatives are using us to rally their base with hate. One of the leading political groups (besides the Republicans) is the Polish conservative party the Prawo i Sprawiedliwość (PiS) or the Law and Justice party.

There in Poland and other former Soviet Bloc countries are generating hate not only against us but also against the Jews. Anti-Semitic literature was found on the halls of parliament there,

In other former Soviet Bloc countries LGBT concentrations camps have been reported.

The first ever Pride march in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv descended into scenes of violence Sunday, as mobs of ultranationalist thugs hunted down and assaulted marchers at the end of the event.

Three marchers and two police officers were injured in the clashes, while police arrested 17 far-right demonstrators for their role in the attacks.

The march — the first ever held in the conservative eastern city — faced opposition before it even took place, with Mayor Gennady Kernes threatening legal action to try to prevent the event, and far-right groups threatening violence if it went ahead.

“These groups of ultra-right youth hunted for participants of the march throughout the city and beat several of them,” Andriy Maymulakhin, coordinator for the Nash Mir Center, a Ukrainian LGBT rights organization, told VICE News.

Ahead of parliamentary elections this fall, Law and Justice has thrown the full weight of its party apparatus behind a campaign that is marginalizing Poland’s LGBT community, its critics say.
[…]
This spring, as the Law and Justice party was gearing up for European Parliament elections, its leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski highlighted another supposed foreign danger. Warsaw’s mayor had recently advocated integrating sex education and LGBT issues into school curriculums, in accordance with World Health Organization guidelines. In Kaczynski’s telling, this was “an attack on the family” and “an attack on children.” He called “LGBT ideology” an imported “threat to Polish identity, to our nation, to its existence and thus to the Polish state.”

A Law and Justice campaign ad depicted an umbrella with the party logo protecting a family from rainbow rain.

Regional party officials have since pushed to declare cities and even entire provinces in the country’s conservative southeast ­“LGBT-ideology free.” Activists have counted around 30 such declarations so far, including one in the region where Kielce is located.

The crowd that gathered at New Britain’s Walnut Hill Park to hear Polish President Andrzej Duda wasn’t nearly as big as anticipated, but made up for that in enthusiastic determination.

A few thousand people stood for most of the afternoon under a relentless sun, many of them jammed up against metal security gates in hopes of seeing the first Polish president to visit New Britain.

When the motorcade with Duda and First Lady Agata Kornhauser-Duda arrived more than 45 minutes behind schedule, the crowd yelled eagerly. Waving red-and-white Polish flags, the audience then cheerfully applauded a series of speakers, flag presentations and an awards ceremony in Duda’s honor.

Not one word was said in opposition to Polish President Andrzej Duda treatment of LGBTQ+ and Jewish peoples.

Also where was the Catholic church and the Pope in condemning the growing violence against us?
