You’re framing it in the American context though. Mixing politics and religion is taboo in most western democracies. And, religious conservatism isn’t the same as political conservatism.

Ireland is a good example - devoutly Catholic but with very liberal politics. Gay marriage has broad support.

UK - pretty much godless and very liberal - but historically politics has been dominated by the Conservative party. Broad support for same-sex marriage, and it was actually brought in by a Conservative government.

China - authoritarian single-party system. Follows Communist ideology with a capitalist bent. Religion - taboo, government controlled, doesn’t feature in politics at all. The important difference is that its culturally very Asian. Even eastern democracies like South Korea and Japan have a tricky relationship with gay rights.

If that were to change you’d imagine CCP would support gay marriage as it poses no threat to ideology or party policies.

Tankies are conservatives

For ‘conservatives’ they do an awful lot of praising China.

I’m convinced they aren’t real and are just weird bots. They are a strange bunch.

Bonjour je mapelle jobbies. Je suis 38 ans et je habite en Ecosse. Je t’aime Duran Duran et le ping pong.

(Apologies thats all the French my mediocre education equipped me with!)

It has faster access to vast quantities of information, but that doesn’t mean its smarter.

For real. Most likely those planes were retired for their inefficiency. Now its totally fine to turn the engines into generators - rather than using clean sources of energy. What are we playing at.

Pfft anyone can do that if they do kegels

Careful, ain’t no lube up on the mountain…

I dunno Bob looks more like a Richard to me…

Scotland. Fucked. The terrifying thing I realised recently is how I can see the sharp decline in living standards pre-and-post covid. If we dont get a grip of it we’re backsliding toward Dickensian levels of poverty and deprivation.

Other thing I noticed recently - how most of our short-term problems can be linked to that cunt Trump. Iran war, tariffs, Ukraine etc. I say this to highlight to the Americans in the room that your political choices have implications far beyond your own borders. Theres fuck all I can do about him, but plenty you can do.

Oh okay well ligma balls sister rapist.
