I'm from the UK but I have my own version of this.
I went to a Church of England school. When I was about 8, we had this super religious teacher start. She was Methodist so made us change the words of the lord's prayer to her version. I loudly and defiantly said the old one every time.
It wasn't long after, that I stopped saying prayers altogether, making sure to stare ahead with lips tight and hands unclasped, so nobody could mistake me as being pious!
I probably would have been that annoying kid had just been schooled in the USA.
I wrote my own comment before seeing yours. I see what you are getting at, but this is all theatre. Straight white Christians still hold the power and the wealth, it just suits the oligarchy to pretend they don't.
American conservatives have been frighteningly effective at pushing this narrative that they are the outsiders, that they're fighting against the status quo, so it doesn't surprise me that they would steal punk.
They consider it a radical act to be straight, white, and Christian, when in fact that always has been, and still is the majority, as well as those who hold the money and the power.
From my perspective, this has been one of their most successful moves and it's been brewing for decades - look at the tea party. There has never been a leftist or even liberal machine to rage against, but pretending that there is gets all the normies to feel special and oppressed at the same time, culminating in this fucking shitshow you have over there.
Fuck these Nazis
I would really love to try the Quebec type. Hopefully one day I will fetch to Canada to have the real stuff.
Fantastic advice, thank you!
Once again, it's a right winger doing this heinous shit.
I relistened to a podcast episode about Sound Of Freedom movie the other day, and they were saying it suits the right wing narrative to believe child abuse is shady organisations using shipping containers. That way, it distracts them from the fact that most children are suffering because of a member of their family or someone in a position of authority (e.g. church leader). They get to feel righteous without having to look at the real causes or challenge the conservative ideals of the traditional family and religion.
Are cheese curds easy to make? I would really like to make pouting but I won't be able to get the curds round here. Or is there a good substitute that's easier to acquire?
My colleague brought us doughnuts from here today. She got them last night but they were still plenty fresh.
Thank you Ickplant - that's really interesting. Also, 13 seems a weird number of nipples to have. I'm guessing the little guys pictured were not the fastest ones.
Westeros. So pretty screwed unless it's Dorne or maybe Highgarden.
Also paranasal sinuses.
