It looks like a set up for a “suqma DICK lmao” joke, but it’s actually just a store.

If you mean this about any Christmas, seasonal, 4th of July, Halloween, Easter, etc events… sure. But taking out just the Pride event is targeted.

What’s the joke about every generation thinking they invented sex? That, but with cum cooking, I guess: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5830947-natural-harvest---a-collection-of-semen-based-recipes

If they’re high quality editors who consistently put out a lot of edits then yeah, it is meaningful and insightful. Wikipedia exists because of them and only them. If most feel like they do and stop doing all this maintenance for free, then Wikipedia becomes a graffiti wall/ad space and not an encyclopedia.

Thinking the immediate disgust of the people doing all the work for you for free is meaningless is the best way to nose dive.

Also, you literally had to scroll past a very long and insightful comment to get to that.

Go have this fight with someone that wants to have it and didn’t make it clear that kind of behavior isn’t alright. Maybe somewhere other than on a thread about cops threatening to come assault protesters in their homes.

Interesting that a Californian making a callous comment about living in hurricane country is somehow equivalent to the conservative media industry absolutely cheering bloodshed any time natural disasters strike us. 🙄 If California celebrated like this any time, much less every time, a natural disaster hit somewhere else it would have its own dedicated conservative channel playing it on loop.

I’ve lived through multiple hurricanes because I haven’t always lived in California. People from everywhere say that stupid shit about hurricane prone areas. Take the chip off your shoulder.

Conservatives are unironically like this. They cheer when we have earthquakes and fires.

Yeah, you’re not saying it. You just think no Mexican Americans, etc should show up with Mexican flags. Oh, also more American flags. What else to make the protest perfect so that no rightoid can say anything bad about it? Better get it all out here so the people can do everything perfectly to your standards.

Talk is cheap and the criticisms of anyone not at the protests are worthless.

Fascinating you could determine from the picture that all of the thousands of people who showed up only care about deportations.

Thankfully the people of LA are’t stupid enough to fall for this bullshit. We see our neighbors with Mexican flags every day, it doesn’t make them belong here any less.

Through all of these LA protest pictures, I see nothing but the flag of a foreign country…

Babe you already did this. Scroll up and follow the links this time.

I don’t see why someone waving the Mexican flag, would be fighting for American democracy…

Do you actually need me to lead you around by the nose and explain to you that American citizens can hold a Mexican flag in protest?

If you care about America, your country, and fighting Fascism, then you’re flying a US flag, and taking that symbol back.

Then go fucking do it instead of being a keyboard warrior criticizing the people actually doing shit. Jealousy’s an ugly color.

How is protesting for their family and neighbors (weird you left that one out, you don’t have to be related to someone kidnapped to protest) over having their Constitutional rights violated not protecting democracy?

Also, touching a Mexican flag doesn’t actually revoke your citizenship or residency, regardless of what Fox News says.

What’s brain dead is thinking people only have a right to free speech if it fits what you think their optics should be.

Anyone who wouldn’t support the burning of an American flag is an enemy of the US Constitution.

If you weren’t there, what you mean is you haven’t been shown any American flags in the protests.

Anyone who thinks there needs to be more American flags at the protests is welcome to bring them along with themselves. But sitting here criticizing the people actually off their ass and trying to protect democracy and their neighbors is bullshit.

Further, the right is literally never going to see resistance to Trump positively. Anyone who has been on the Fox News drip for the past 20 years is so unhinged that living in California is a crime to them. Asking people whose neighbors and family members have been kidnapped by the federal government to hide their heritage in their protests because it might offend people that already hate them and want them gone is ridiculous. At least if you want to keep those people as allies.
