More Gen Z Americans identify as LGBTQ than as Republican

Jump

  • Isn't everyone in The France republican? Do you have monarchist French that want to resurrect King Louis? Or do they want to crown Macarone the new King?

    P.S. I had an almond croissant earlier today and took a picture of some frozen snails.

  • Because America believes it's an exception and above everyone else.

  • Ah yes the oft-used American Exceptionalist attitude of "we're too good to bind ourselves to treaties like this".

    Tale as old as time. It's why the US isn't a member of the ICJ and many other international treaties. King's don't follow rules - they make them!

  • Norwegians are bloodthirsty fucks!

    They killed Freya the walrus cos people got close to her. Now they're killing bent orcas.

    Contrast that with England who let our walrus have a happy wank on the beach before he swam to the sunset.

  • I thought the National Guard was a Federal organization

    I read this shortly after posting and apparently NG is State managed unless it gets "federalized" which means the Federal Government takes over.

  • I heard from others that it's an invasion. So massed regiments of Mexican children invading the border. That's why the National Guard are involved. To beat back the masses of child soldiers.

  • They're Mexican children that are drowning so it's ok.

  • Thanks for the summary. I just heard about the Florida State Guard in another comment. It's been reactivated and I'm honestly more shocked that's happened than this new thing. Creating an army separate from the main government is kinda the definition of starting an armed rebellion. But no ones panicking. The last time Florida had a state guard was WWII when it made sense cos the NG left.

    But there's no war. Everyone seems very calm and complacent right now.

    Which makes me wonder - do you reckon Trump is shouting this stuff and Florida is provoking the Federal Government could be so Biden federalises so Reps can start shouting "Inssurection" and accuse him of doing what Trump did?

    So basically pretend to sart a Civil War and if/when Biden moves to protect the Union Trump can scream - "EVIL INSSURECTIONIST DICTATOR".

    Cos that seems like a really, really stupid and dangerous thing to do. Normalising this level and extreme of sabre rattling is not good.

  • Florida State Guard

    I had to search for that and it sounds kinda bad for states to have their own armies. I mean it's practically the definition of raising an army in opposition to the Federal government. Looking at Wikipedia it was first activated in WWII to make up for the national guard going to war.

    That bit makes sense.

    But you're not at war and you just reactivated it in 2020. Why? Why would Florida need it's own army? That'd be like the Wales FM creating it's own guard. By it's nature it's in direct opposition to the national (British) military. There's no other way of looking at it.

    That feels like a major thing. Am I taking crazy pills - why is no one screaming? This is bad!!

  • Ooooh yeah don't bother with Ghosts. He's been going for ~40yrs and his Ghosts stuff is more like his creative common free music he gives to people.

    I started on With Teeth album but his top albums are often considered to be Downward Spiral and Fragile.

    If I was you I'd listen to Downward Spiral, the Fragile then With Teeth. After that maybe try Pretty Hate Machine which is slightly more dark-poppy-shynth-wave.

    I'll stop now otherwise I'll be posting the entire back catalogue! :D
