        See the top left image in the panel. Goobers were marching with tiki torches shouting “you will not replace us” if I remember correctly

            It’s not. They can’t have my mosquito repelling tiki torches any more than they can have my Punisher or my cowboy boots.

            Those ignorant-ass weirdos can keep their fucking ear diapers though.

              Fuck that. These conservative Christian shitbags don’t get to steal runes for themselves. They already have plenty of their own symbols. Crosses, swasticas, nambla logos, etc.

              I’d rather carve the runes off of conservative bodies than allow them to turn them into little secret codes for their precious racism and bigotry.

                Fair enough, but reclaiming imagery isn’t always easy; if you’re going to have runic tattoos, it’s probably best to also make a point of displaying your non-nazi politics.

                …fucking Nazis, they just can’t let the rest of us have cool things, they have to rune it

        Tiki torches used to be for bug protection (like citronella candles), but because the KKK used to march with torches and these morons can’t figure out how to make actual torches….

        The cheap WalmarKKK just go with that.

    They very much remind me of the Scientology drones running around in downtown Clearwater, Florida US.

    Impossible to engage in meaningful conversation, preoccupied nature, and how they group up knowing they aren’t wanted around, but legally you can’t get rid of them.

        About 35 years ago I lived about 2 miles away from downtown in the “artists/gay/gentrification” part of town. The scientologists usually don’t interact with the rest of the city/town. Unless you target them in any way , then you’re eventually leaving … one way or the other.

      Does a high percentage of people (mostly old men) sexualize children? There has been a lot of allegations of pedophilia in weathy people and organisations, which can afford it, but would lots of regular people indulge in it if was legal? How are people fine with themselves sexualising children and why don’t they just “tuck it in”?

        I don’t have any data but given most mainstream porn websites have a “teen” section, I’m going to guess a lot of people sexualize teenagers. Most of them are likely not teenagers themselves.

        Human sexuality is complicated. But that doesn’t excuse knowingly harming other people.

        It is strange that the right wing seems to oppose teaching about consent.

        There’s probably two separate threads - attraction to physical youth, and attraction to power deltas. I think the latter is more dangerous, and probably more of what you find in shitty rich people. But I’m just guessing, I don’t have any data.

        No kid wants to fuck an old man, and I don’t see how you could legalize brothels or prostitution for minors.

        It’s about power a lot of the time. Wealth gets you anything you want, so anyone with enough money who wants to abuse kids, can. I’d imagine some extremely wealthy idiots are tricked into it for blackmail on rare occasions.

        Organizations, like the church, attract pedophiles because it’s a trusted position of power that puts them alone with vulnerable kids.

        No, I don’t think indulging in child abuse is something a regular person does, even if they have urges to. You’re not a regular person if you’re abusing kids.

    James Donald David Bowman, has requested that he be referred to as JD (formerly J.D.) Vance, his preferred (chosen) name.
    A couple days back, James called Kamala “phony.”

    You can’t make this stuff up. So I didn’t.

    But it is weird.

    The makeup is actually kinda cool. It could symbolize that you are deeply upset (hence the lines coming from the eyes like tears) about the divide (the white line down the middle) between the parties (red and blue tears for Republicans and Democrats respectively). All while using red, white and blue to represent the country overall. It’s good graphic design.

    Their hats tell me that that was not their thought process, though.

          My 16.5 year old dog re-potty trained himself. No fucking clue why or how. He’s just decided barking for stuff is back on the table.

          He also barks at my mom’s dog to open doors now, too, though and forgets I’m in the shower while he’s in the bathroom with me and wakes up thinking someone has trapped him alone.

      They’re praying for him. The power of JAY-zus comes down through them and pours out of their hands like a magic spell. Sometimes they’ll anoint their heads with oil, but I imagine that wouldn’t be good for the bronzer so of course he didn’t let them do that. Because sometimes magic spells have physical components along with their verbal and somatic components.
