Next will be a war with a neighboring country.

The nightclub, which is called <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pose" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pose</a>, has never explicitly identified as a gay club – styling itself as a 'parody theatre bar', it hosted parties with <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DragQueen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DragQueen</a> artists and go-go dancers as entertainment."In a press release announcing the arrest, the court said that as the owner of the club, Khasanov organised participation in an extremist organisation, 'acting as the leader of an organised group of persons by prior conspiracy'. The specific actions included organising the work of such premises, and publishing photos and videos from performances 'promoting non-traditional sexual relationships and preferences'. Khasanov was arrested at the airport when trying to flee the country."His arrest followed the arrest and detention of two of his employees.

DoomsdaysCWHow could this happen in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a>? Well, maybe watch the series <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BabylonBerlin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BabylonBerlin</a>.
