"I don't care who or how my kid loves, but so help me if they become a cop..."

If you raise a new jackboot have you really succeeded as a parent?

If you’re a gay cop and want to be at pride off duty while dressed as a cop, you’re either malicious (I mean, cop, so that reads) or too stupid to be trusted with a gun. Which, again, cop, so that also reads.

I disagree I think we should have more gay cops. Reminds me of the Sheriff Department that quelled a mob by going outside and kneeling alongside them during the George Floyd protest.

I’m proud of myself for managing not to vomit after reading the phrase “flaunting their lifestyles”.

I don't care what those people get up to in the confines of their own bedroom, but why do they feel the need to project all of that onto us? I want no part in this perverse power fantasy they're insisting on, but they won't hear anything of it. "I'm a police officer so you have to do what I say" — It's utter balderdash, is what I say.

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical weaponized ceremony

Shouldn't capitalism just see LGBTQ people as another market to be exploited? The problem is that capitalism uses religion as a means to control the workers.

I mean, that's literally what has been happening for a long time.

It does. That's why we see all the corpo pride stuff in pride month every year and why there was recently an uptick in queer representation in media. Ofc their support of us is fake and has always been shallow and sanitized, and is the reason why there are several companies pulling back on visible (if any) support this year.

Yes, that's why they only start "supporting" it after it becomes socially acceptable enough so that the money they plan on making is more than the money from dipshits they expect to alienate.

Capitalism using religion as a means?

You sure it is not the distribution of capital, dead-end employment, militarized police, obscure markets, corruption, privatization of profits and common infrastructure and socialization of the losses?

Because all of these seem much more critical to how capitalism works over religion. Especially with the Abrahamic scriptures being very opposed to greed, interest rates, gambling, doing trade in temples...

It's the one trying to swindle the other parade goers out of their homes and money.

Which admittedly can be a difficult thing to spot visually from a distance 🤔

If he's an investment banker, though, he's pretty easy to spot thanks to the feed bag full of cocaine strapped to the front of his face at all times.

They'll tell you what bank they own cause the only reason they're there is to make you associate them with Pride

We can fix every issue with all of our nations via democracy.

The CCP and Russia, however, appear to be eternally fucked.
