Damn dude how many times are you going to post in this thread. There are places you would feel more at home. You will get the same response here every time. Try 4chan, voat, truth social, reddit, or one of the defederated right wing communities.
I don’t know how to feel about this. I guess it’s good that they used their platform to “talk” about LGBTQ topics. Probably not helpful at all, and feels like the singer just wanted to be angry about something and fucked over all the attendees and workers at the festival. For what reason though?
You have a problem with the laws then either don’t go. Or go and have your protest be at least somewhat coherent, and not bail as soon as someone slaps your wrist.
For what reason? How about to draw international attention to places with bigoted laws that also economically depend on western tourism. The singer wasn’t just being “angry.” He literary put himself and his bandmates’ freedom on the line by illegally kissing his bandmate on stage to take a stand for LGBT rights in that country. Do you get it now, or do you need this to be spelled out even more for you?
These actions could literally result in people dying. I guess that’s one of the points I failed to make. Just strolling into a country, kicking up a storm, and then leaving to face no practical consequences. There are groups in Malaysia that are fighting for LGBT rights in the best way that they. Instead, support these people instead of potentially being a rallying cry for more violence.
The most likely situation happened, next up would be light police involvement. I don’t think anyone would argue that their lives are in danger after this.
I always like to point out that when congress banned the transatlantic slave trade in 1808, it didn't stop the desire of slaveholders for new slaves.
Enslaved women were used as brood mares until they physically could not produce more children. Then some of those women were subjected to medical experimentation (without painkillers) to repair the damage caused by pregnancies either too frequent or too early.
The population of enslaved black people quadrupled in the 50 years after the transatlantic slave trade was banned. White slave owners would often rape their enslaved women, and then sell off the children for profit. And could get more profit, because the children had lighter skin.
Oh, and that ban on the transatlantic slave trade? That was very easy to get around. Jim Bowie, as an example, used to smuggle slaves from French pirate slaver traders into the US through the swamps of Louisiana. Then he moved to Texas as part of a plan to turn it into a slave holding nation. (Mexico had actually banned slavery)
Jim Bowie, died at the Alamo, likely in bed shitting himself from cholera. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving sort.
Wasn’t the Alamo almost entirely about slavery too? As in a blight on our past that has been misconstrued and blatantly lied about to become something we’re taught to be proud of?
Yeah, the entire Texas independence movement was white slaver owners wanting to own slaves in Texas. Which was actually part of Mexico, and had banned slavery in Texas a few years prior, and the white colonist slave owners were having none of it.
There were several rebellions against Santa Anna at the time, Texas was the only "success". All because of the white slave owners pumping a lot of money into the fight.
I’m sure it was remarked upon at the time, but naming your company “X Corp” is the most lame comic book supervillain shit I’ve ever heard. Like not even main supervillain, but more like sub Hammer level. One of those bad guys who is always coming up with elaborate schemes for petty shit and getting his ass handed to him by tertiary level heroes.
We poured hot tar and feather on the British when they raised taxes to pay for the war in which we were being defended. What part of our history is “non-violent”
Oh yeah! There’s only a 30 year lag between change in input to the atmosphere and temperature, and 70% of emissions are industrial, but if I drive a little less today the world will be saved. Yay.
