could us anglophonoid Yakubian Snow Apes get some context here? who is this from and what is it announcing?
sorry for contributing to the conversation, next time i will just post a pic of my dick and nuts and then leave
to be fair, kissing/washing someone’s feet when they enter your home is a very ancient practice among jews. its used in stories/art as a metaphor for atonement or being humbled. it shows up in a couple different places in the Torah, as well as the christian gospels
this art isn’t meant to be sexual, its just a fantasy of one day having the colonised apologise to the settlers for being in the way of their slaughter
oh hey, i've never posted in the trans mega before. let's change that! happy 4 year HRTiversary to me, God's gayest soldier
an Iranian ally under Iranian protection in Iran's capital city? this is going to be a huge deal politically. Israel is daring Iran to get involved, and Iran needs to respond to this to maintain credibility
To add on to what I wrote here-- what was missing from January 6th was a unified Republican stance that violence and 'cheating' were justified. The people who had already made up their minds about that charged into the capitol, and the Republicans in the halls of power turned tails and shat on them as a result, proving that they were more motivated more by a loyalty to the status quo than by a chance to reshape it through force.
That lack of unity is gone in 2024. Trump is the Party, and he has proven that he is willing to cheat and kill to keep himself on top.
Pretty realistic. It's easy to dismiss the threat of a second Trump administration as Democratic fearmongering to chase after donations and motivate voters, but the Dems have proven at every turn that they care more about decorum than about wielding power as a tool to affect the world. The right is increasingly moving in the opposite direction-- decorum doesn't matter, winning matters. Getting what they want matters.
When Trump trashes the entire administrative 'deep state' that restrained him during his first administration, through Schedule F shenanigans or violence, what are the Dems going to do? A Republican administration, doesn't even have to be Trump, can totally remove any and all tools that could be used to restrain the Administrative Branch's power, and concentrate it all in one person. Dems would quiet down and fall into line President von Hindenburg style, instead of using what they have left to form the nexus of some kind of competing power structure. Something something we need peace to heal the nation.
One party is fascists, the other is West Wing LARP. The fascists can do a LOT of damage if all they get as pushback is Sorkinesque tweets.
