Nope, we are commemorating it.

I’m sure that’s what these people got together to commemorate and no other events at all.

Remind me again how that started?

I have encountered more lunatics on Lemmy than I have in any other place in my entire life. It’s fucking astounding.

Yeah, that was my take, too.

I’m a man who was sexually abused by a woman when I was a child. If I point out that the sign in the thumbnail is both untrue and is a dangerous oversimplification am I a rape apologist?

If that’s the case, holy shit does that need to be specified.

The whole “people can’t be illegal” thing is an attempt to bypass negative attitudes people have towards people who - ya know - break the law and violate the sovereignty of the country they’re in. It’s what dovetails with rebranding to saying “migrants”, it’s a bald-faced attempt to manipulate the public and get them to accept people jumping borders and overstaying visas.

That one fucking guy wanted to go back. Apparently that’s some kind of “gotcha”, despite just about everybody else going from the North to the South.

Just ignore the foreign intelligence operatives and go about your business.

I was about to say …

Vox can speak for itself. Big sections of the public knew they were being sold a bill of goods.

Wait, everyone on this site has told me that even a single casualty due to collateral damage is genocide!

Sure, but I’d rather have it relocated to a landfill where it’ll be kept out of the water supply and will eventually get covered with dirt and turned into a park or forest preserve.

Landfills aren’t just a hole in the ground people throw shit into. They’re complex, managed systems that efficiently store garbage and keep it sequestered while it breaks down over long periods of time.

No, fuck that! We spent twenty years nation building there and the first time they needed to stand up on their own the ANA folded up and ran.

They weren’t willing to do the bare minimum to avoid Taliban rule. It’s not our fault they were too stupid to see the consequences when they rolled over and let the fucking cavemen take over.

Standing at attention is supposed to keep you a little off balance - not that much, but a little. Some people lock their knees when they stand, which will ultimately make you faint. Standing “gut in, chest out” makes you to lean forward slightly, forcing your knees unlock.

Because these guys are ceremonial guards they crank the whole thing up to eleven and it tends to look ridiculous at times.

The position of attention is usually heels together, gut in, chest out, etc.

The raised chin is kind of old fashioned and only used for ceremonial purposes by some countries. Russia is one of those countries.

That being said, dude on the left looks like he put a little meth in his cereal that morning.

What a relief! For a minute there I thought there was going to be a post where someone didn’t drag politics into it.

/s

Quick, give it some LSD and handjobs. We can say we’re teaching it English or something.

Say the line, Bart.

So that’s what the bottom of the barrel looks like!

It’s not treason if balls don’t touch.
