minus-squareLinkerbaan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·3 months agoGlad we supported the Pakistani coup and decided to recognize the illegitimate and fraudulent Pakistani elections where they jailed Imran Khan. And now we get bonus points for being able to whine about the right wingers we’re supporting!
minus-squareAwesomeLowlander@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoAs per Wikipedia: The UN noted that there had been arrests of homosexuals within the past three years in 2018, 2019 and 2022. So it’s not like LGBT issues were much better under Imran Khan either.
minus-squareLinkerbaan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·3 months agoPakistan now went more right instead of less right so I’d be surprised if it isn’t worse now.
minus-squareAwesomeLowlander@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoI wouldn’t be surprised either, but you made it sound like things are a lot more clear cut than they actually are.
minus-squareLinkerbaan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·3 months agoThe new Pakistani government is pretty extreme right wing so it’s certainly not getting better.

minus-squareLinkerbaan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0arrow-down1·3 months agoThe difference is that America isn’t going to go less right if Biden wins. It’s already in a downward spiral and voting Biden isn’t going to break it. If anything it will strengthen 2028 Republicans. Pakistan wasn’t caught in the uniparty trap yet.
