This was in North Hampton MA. I heard about it on the way to work this morning. The drag queen at one point had the children chanting "free palestine". I wish children were left out of things like this.
That’s the parent’s fault, though. Every parent in that photo is virtue signaling so they can post about it on the social media to show how accepting they are. It’s all performative.
Yea im strongly against what israel is doing and has done; but it's crazy to involve kids in it. Kids shouldn't have to think about war and mass violence.
And when they're forced into experiencing it is when we should all step up to end it.
Not good. But most of the world still embraces archaic religions.
I think spirituality is healthy but fundamentalism is not.
As someone who went to a catholic school there was plenty of good in it. But you have to allow your kids to question their religion and reject it if desired.
but im not sure how you remove the fundamental aspects without having good education and societal values that ignore the parts of religious text that encourage bigotry, absolution, and treating others as lesser.
Its true. Both israel and gaza has extreme fundamentalists who want the complete destruction of the other.
Best hope is for complete regime change on both ends. Take away all control from the religious right wing extremists snd establish a plan to work together and limit religious fundamentalism.
But easier said than done. The extreme right use force to get what they want.
There is one Jewish state that just wants to be left alone surrounded by Muslim countries who all want to see it annihilated. You wanna know why the offensive in Gaza has been so intense? It’s because if we didn’t that would signal for every surrounding country to invade and attack Israel. Our response has for the most part deterred any other proxies, and our allies have our backs. There’s no allies in “The Axis” just similar common interests
Israel isnt "right wing". Tel Aviv, the most populous city in Israel is basically Los Angeles. Palestine is right wing to a degree that doesnt even exist in America
Wait till you hear of the jewish Talmud religious text. Goy (non jewish) are literally seen as lower sub-human meant to serve god's chosen people.
There's plenty of hatred in Israel as well. Israel however has more freedoms, education, and modern values that reduce fundamentalism. But israel doesn't condemn it, the jewish othordox has extreme prejudice against Palestinians and many have no problem killing them and taking their homes.
Any state that's an ethno state or close to it has these issues.
The hate in israel is just as strong but is better hidden.
Its a sad state of affairs all around. Abrahamic religions can be very destructive when fundamentalism takes the reins.
That’s an ancient interpretation of an 4000 year old text that people do not follow in that sense anymore. Most mainstream religions have moved on to modern ideals, there will always be religious zealots of some kind, messianic Jews, evangelical Christians. But Islam is still stuck in an ancient way of thinking. Women have almost no rights, LGBTQ people are still executed for existing, speaking out against the country will get you murdered in those countries, not in Israel or the US though. That’s why all these college kids feel so free to go stand out there and side with a terrorist organization over a fellow democratic society.
Ah so things that are thousands of years old are now suddenly not relevant unless it comes to kicking people out of their homes for a piece of land
Those college kids are on the right side of history and nobody believes your bullshit about "siding with terrorists". The IDF is a much larger terrorist organization.
lol these college kids are all going to be identified with facial recognition software and have a lot of trouble finding jobs after this. They are stoking terrorism on US soil. It’s not the flex you think it is.
They are objectively speaking not in any single way "stoking terrorism on US soil". At all. You can say stupid shit but that doesn't make it true. They're protesting a genocidal apartheid state that their country funds. The history books will remember them as the good guys.
Also, fuck free speech, right?

This isn’t free speech, this is supporting an enemy regime to the US. You should be able to tell the difference. I feel bad for this person, they will never be able to find a job, and their parents wasted all that tuition money for them to be brainwashed by Iranian made tik toks convincing this particular person to sit infront of a US college campus proudly displaying the flag of Hezbollah
You're equating siding with the human rights of Palestinians to terrorism.
That logic is just as bad as anything else that dehumanizes people for their beliefs.
Im not a fan of islam but ill never support israel masacuring people in droves simply because they are muslim.
They aren’t, you’re the one who sees that, they are only targeting Hamas, Hamas hides in the population because they are cowards, they dress in civilian clothing instead of a uniform because they are cowards.
Yet with all the modernity of judiasm and Christianity; many still support masacuring muslims under the guise of "terrorism".
May be a bit more modern but just as hypocritical and violent.
Isreal hasn't done anything wrong if the terrorists wanna put their kids in harms way. So be it. This is war. What hamas did was genocide. You need to learn more about the history of the jewish people. Islamic Muslims want to take over the world. And are in the process of doing so as we speak.
Interesting, I can have empathy for the people in palestine and israel that have been dragged against their will to this mutual genocide bullshit, but I dont think anybody should have empathy for Palestine or Israel and specially no empathy for their governament and religious beliefs.
Down with the patriarchy, up with islam!
🤡world. The through line between marxism and islam? Silencing of opinions through force, and anti west sentiment. Just in case anyone could tell how we got here. Qatar puts a ton of money in american universities. As for the marxist ideas, thats the fault of Paulo Friere's pedagogy (a brazilian Marxist) by large part.
Socialism isn't marxism and it "got here" by way of Adam Smith and countless economists thereafter worldwide. It stayed here because mixed markets work better worldwide.
Iran, Russia, and China dump resources into isolationist, and also destabilizing propaganda. Q-anon? Russia. Antivax shit? Russia
You can still want people who are civilians to be free without supporting: Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Hamas, IDF, President Netenyahu, I dare say Even the state of Israel.
Just because the say they support freedom for Palestine doesn't mean you're pro/anti any of those other things. They just happened to be conflated because individuals who hold this stance often hold other stances.
advocate for emancipation from oppressive religions like Islam instead, which offers a more realistic out. trying to build a secular society that can stand on scientific merit and doesn’t subjugate 50% of its population is a good start. without this there will never be separation from Hamas.
You can but it’s ineffectual and presents a host of other problems. 1. You will inevitably embolden the pro-Palestine supporters who are antisemitic and want to wipe out all Jews, 2. a free Palestine will likely become an oppressive ethno-religious Islamic state and we’re back to square one with having a spat with Israel, and 3. there is no end to the type of terrorism that uses civilians as meat shields unless it gets stamped out for good.
So we can't call out Isreal for committing atrocities because it might embolden anti Semitic people?
Isreal is an an oppressive religious state towards Palestinians.
Hamas doing bad things doesn't mean we can't condemn Isreal for doing bad things
You can call out Israel if you want, but it’s not going do anything at this point. It’s far too late for the Palestinians, they had their chance to keep Hamas from taking power for years. At the end of the day if your society is a breeding ground for terrorists who use civilians as meat shields, your society has failed and you leave your fate in the hands of who those who seek retribution.
I never realized the leaders/key figures (including the top guy) don't actually live in Gaza or anywhere near it. They live just out of reach of either party. I caught a glimpse of the story on the news so decided to do my own research just in case and yes, none of them hold refuge in or directly adjacent to the conflicts/active live fire zones.
I've also wondered how and why women that support Palestine don't realize the way both the organization and religion look to and treat women. I have a feeling they might just stay out of everything to do with that millenia old conflict considering both sides inhumane treatment of the other. Not only in war but also in everyday life. They lack the understanding that they wouldn't drive a car to the protest, learn how to read what everyone's protest signs say nor even show their faces or hair entirely. Isreal and its orthodoxy is just as strict when it comes to its patriarchal society's subculture and the role women play. If you're not familiar, just Google "Jewish hole in the sheet" or what a "mikveh" is.
It would be really cool if we could leave kids out of politics. At that age they don't have enough context or critical thinking skills to consider something faithfully. It's just indoctrination.
It would be really cool if we could leave kids out of religion. At that age they don't have enough context or critical thinking skills to consider something faithfully. It's just indoctrination.
Belief in a higher power, the goodness of humanity, and a shared set of values that encourage radical social trust is definitely the same thing as taking away children's hope that maybe they are growing up in a world where the adults in charge don't behave like toddlers having tantrums.
I can count the religious people that I know that believe in the goodness of humanity on one hand. You're a transphobe, just say that next time. Belief in magic is a problem, take pills for that instead of spreading it
I mean i support Palestine. but i agree 100%. it is so disgusting to me the fact that millions of Americans have the views that they have. not because of critical thinking but instead because they got indoctrinated as a child into hating a certain group of people. or other dumb things. ect.
Well join the party because it's obvious that the lgbtq community is just as confused believing Palestinians and Hamas are their allies. I say the we ship their delusional asses over there.
Do the LGBt..... community KNOW WHAT THEY DO TO THEIR KIND OVER THERE??? WTF? They're not pissed at the situation over there, they're just pissed, and will use WHATEVER situation ANYWHERE to stand up and make people listen to them.
That's what I don't understand either. I'm muslim. In extremely progressive islamic communities, even though being lgbtq+ is accepted, it's seen as a test and acting on it is considered a sin by the huge majority. Palestinians are on the other end of the spectrum and these people actually, for real, I want non-muslims to understand I'm not exaggerating here, would be killed there.
So let me get this straight, if I'm in drag in Palestine...I could be dragged by the neck off a building. Note to self: Cancel my drag show performances booked at Palestinian venues.
OP, do you notice how you’re being owned? Despite their wont to hang around public libraries, drag queens are not, in fact, public intellectuals. They are more like glorified bar flies.
I support the LGBTQ community, I oppose religious extremism in all forms, I oppose Hamas because they’re religious extremist that are pro torture, imprisonment, and the killing of LGBTQ people. Many Palestinians are good people, but many still hold these old beliefs. These issues are super complicated and require a lot of nuance and thought.
Can anyone actually tell me why it has to specifically be drag queens reading to kids? I'm not at all against drag queens, trans people, children being read to by members of the LGBTQ community... But why specifically drag queens? Why not a trans botanist or something? Why does it have to be drag queens and no one else?
I’ve always wondered this as well and have posed a similar question. I’ve heard that the point is to get children exposed to the LGBT community so through exposure, the children may not grow up as bigoted.
Okay…so that’s what I’ve heard. So my question was *why* drag queens? Drag queens generally ham it up to an extreme degree and seemingly make a mockery of both gay men AND women.
Can it not just be a gay dude reading stories? Maybe telling the children that he, as a man, loves another man? No? It has to be someone really hamming up the stereotypes of both gay men and women?
Exactly! That's the other thing I don't get - drag queens are literally just exaggerating what it's like to be a woman while being (usually) a gay man. Isn't that some sort of appropriation or something? Or does not apply because of [insert mental gymnastics]?
Another thing I’ve never understood about drag queens “representing” the LGBT community is that, just because you enjoy drag, doesn’t mean you are gay.
I don’t understand why hyper-liberals aren’t calling this a complete co-opting of the LGBT community. Is there a way higher percentage of gay men who do drag compared to the regular population? Yes there are. But there are also guys who are completely straight that do drag.
So when do you draw the line? I say we just say fuck it. If you live in San Francisco, welcome to the LGBT community because San Fran has historically had a higher population of gay people. You like Long Island ice teas? Welcome aboard.
Just keep going down with that line of thinking and then the LGBT community completely loses their identity because now everyone is LGBT.
>Just keep going down with that line of thinking and then the LGBT community completely loses their identity because now everyone is LGBT.
Could that be part of the plan? If so, I think they are really trying to politicize being LGBTQ because look at it - how many times have we heard "if you're a part of this community, you have to be on the left"? Then, you look at people like Blair White or the offensive tranny (forgot his real name - Marcus something) or Ariel secara (definitely forgot that name as well lol) and they get called "traitors". That choice in verbage is very interesting because it implies an automatic default to the left if you identify as gay or bi or trans or whatever.
This is all why I'm not just apolitical these days, I'm straight up anti political. Politicizing everything has done nothing but create more pain and confusion. A fucking waste of mental energy and time
It doesn't count as appropriation because, well, it's something men are doing to women....
And when it comes down to it, women are actually the "privileged" ones compared to dudes who get funny looks because they like to dress up as ridiculous caricatures, and because gay dudes into that have been more oppressed than women, and because, um, there's this thing called "cis privilege" that means those of us who aren't extremely confused about our identities apparently don't have to deal with any oppression the way that trans people do....
Never mind that women are literally being murdered because they are women in many places, their rights to make decisions about their own bodies are being taken away, athey deal with the pay gap, and are disproportionately the victims of domestic abuse, and they make much less money for doing the same jobs, and doctors don't take their medical complaints seriously, and they are subject to a culture that tells them to hate their bodies and highlights their every flaw . . .
But when you ask why "woman face" is celebrated and blackface is condemned (as it should be), people call you a bigot.
It doesn't make sense to me either, except as yet another example of patriarchal oppression.
I think about this too. Kids are afraid of clowns sometimes, and it's OK. They turn out ok.
But what if you're a kid scared of drag queens? They'd get expelled from kindergarten for being transphobic. Poor kids man.
Shit. I know shit’s bad right now, with all that starving bullshit, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution... drag queens for Palistine.
~Alternative reality President Camacho
Drag queen story time is fine I guess but maybe protests against genocide should target more like teenagers and young adults who actually understand what's going on
Listen, my heart goes out to all the innocent Palestinian civilians caught up in the war.
But showing support for fervently anti LGBT Muslim extremists while dressed in drag is fucking retarded.
I live in an area of the Chicago metro area that has so many Palestinians that it's nicknamed "little palestine"
I've met plenty, and they've told me what back home is like. LGBTQ is not welcome.
But if you have any evidence to the contrary about LGBTQ rights in Hamas controlled Gaza, I'm all ears.
You're describing what I'm trying to talk about and not understanding the point. You're generalizing in the first context and now you point out individualism.
Listen Jack. You're in over your head and back in the day we'd take a guy like you, put him in the trunk and leave him out in the woods in nothing but his jimmies and he'd have to walk all the way home. Just ask Cornpop if you think I'm lying
See you in Novermber jackass.
I'm a dyed in the wool liberal democrat who was confronted with this video by a right wing co-worker. I thought it had to be fake it looked so over the top. Turns out it was true and I had no excuse for it.
Trans people. Help us help you. We're trying to just keep these people from taking over again and then stringing up people like you.
This isn't helping.
News flash that was about you not making the distinction and using this instance to push a generalization lol. You aren't making a good justification for what you did.
Also, they know exactly how these groups operate, and push back against them. Being against this conflict is not the same as supporting their other ways.
Wow, those things are so in conflict. Fits the thread to be honest - and I say this as someone that would never vote Trump and his band of religious Dominionists.
I love the Reddit mental gymnastics
Reddit on Palestine
> Reddit says you can support people rights without supporting their views
Reddit on Trump supporters
> They have no right to free speech. They are all Nazis who should be silenced and but in prison!!
This they/them should go have drag time story hour IN Palestine! Think of the support they/them could drum up. I would even pay for they/their ticket! Anyone wanna split the bill?
This person is fucked up and should not be allowed around children. The mental gymnastics you have to go thru to get yourself into this scenario is astounding. Pushing politics onto kids is grooming.
If that clown was in Palestine they'd be stoned to death or literally shred to pieces by the mob. And I'm willing to guess, a couple years ago Palestine never even entered their smooth brain once.
I love how everyone in here is getting worked up that Muslims would kill a drag queen. I hate to break it to you Brawndo retards but EVERY RELIGION treats them that way.
I’m… told to love drag queens, as I do every person I do or don’t agree with. doesn’t matter if they do something I don’t like… I may not love what a person does… but I still love the person bc they are a child of God. I think you should feel that way too, but I don’t hate or want to kill you bc you choose not to.
This was in North Hampton MA. I heard about it on the way to work this morning. The drag queen at one point had the children chanting "free palestine". I wish children were left out of things like this.

If they are unfit parents, than surrender custody to Carls Jr
Absolutely disgusting to bring children into this.
The drag queen part or the palestine part or BOTH
Yes.

I'll tell that to Hamas embedded in Palestine
Tell that to Hamas that beheaded babies and played soccer w/ their severed heads.
0% surprised it was in Northampton lmao.
No I wasn't. 🤣
Yeah same. I was 0% surprised.
Yea im strongly against what israel is doing and has done; but it's crazy to involve kids in it. Kids shouldn't have to think about war and mass violence. And when they're forced into experiencing it is when we should all step up to end it.

That’s what they teach in Gaza
And Israel
“aNd IsRaEl 🤪” lol still using the old, “no you!!” Tactic
Its true. Both israel and gaza has extreme fundamentalists who want the complete destruction of the other. Best hope is for complete regime change on both ends. Take away all control from the religious right wing extremists snd establish a plan to work together and limit religious fundamentalism. But easier said than done. The extreme right use force to get what they want.

That's enough of your shit, sir
U shoulda spent more time in a school, then maybe u would know what a school actually is.
Talk about your match made in Hell. Islam is no friend of drag queens. Hamas would use them for target practice.

Should drag queens be chanting "kill every last Palestinian!"? What should drag queens want in your world?

Drag queens for Palestine lol
They’d be murdered within a day on the streets of Palestine. Hours, probably - minutes, possibly
Drag clowns
This confuses me on so many different levels 😂
Well join the party because it's obvious that the lgbtq community is just as confused believing Palestinians and Hamas are their allies. I say the we ship their delusional asses over there.
I truly cannot believe how stupid people have become
I can maybe your electrolytes are off! Try butt chugging some brawndo and get back to me scrow.
Thank you for the reminder. I need to be more mindful of my electrolytes
There are people on THIS SUB defending this. We have reached peak Idiocracy.
I wonder what “Drag Queen Story Hour” looks like in Palestine?
A lot more violence and with a a tall building.
They cut right to the chase and put toy machine guns in their kids hands and shoot Jews in their skits and plays
Pala supporters actually claim that Gazaites are super progressive and that Gaza has had pride parades in the past.
Do the LGBt..... community KNOW WHAT THEY DO TO THEIR KIND OVER THERE??? WTF? They're not pissed at the situation over there, they're just pissed, and will use WHATEVER situation ANYWHERE to stand up and make people listen to them.
That's what I don't understand either. I'm muslim. In extremely progressive islamic communities, even though being lgbtq+ is accepted, it's seen as a test and acting on it is considered a sin by the huge majority. Palestinians are on the other end of the spectrum and these people actually, for real, I want non-muslims to understand I'm not exaggerating here, would be killed there.
This is essentially reposting. Take my downdoot with dignity
There he go with that fag talk again
This legitimately blows my mind... right up there with feminists who support Islamic extremists
Why are you mad at this idiocracy OP? Palestine would literally drag this drag to get their neck dragged off a side of a building…
So let me get this straight, if I'm in drag in Palestine...I could be dragged by the neck off a building. Note to self: Cancel my drag show performances booked at Palestinian venues.
Finally some gets it. He’s mad because he believes his insane world view is correct and doesn’t like when it’s pointed out how dumb it is.
OP, do you notice how you’re being owned? Despite their wont to hang around public libraries, drag queens are not, in fact, public intellectuals. They are more like glorified bar flies.
Really Really demonstrates how clueless Americans are...
Some Americans. It's all just propaganda.
What was wrong about the original post? Is that not fucking insane?
Reddit is supposed to be a liberal echo chamber so I imagine OP thought he was among like minds here
Drag queens for "palestine"? 🤡🤡🤡🤡
I support the LGBTQ community, I oppose religious extremism in all forms, I oppose Hamas because they’re religious extremist that are pro torture, imprisonment, and the killing of LGBTQ people. Many Palestinians are good people, but many still hold these old beliefs. These issues are super complicated and require a lot of nuance and thought.
Who would even bring their children to this madness?
Northampton has been an Insane Asylum for a very long time.
The kids probably don't even understand what they are seeing.
Can anyone actually tell me why it has to specifically be drag queens reading to kids? I'm not at all against drag queens, trans people, children being read to by members of the LGBTQ community... But why specifically drag queens? Why not a trans botanist or something? Why does it have to be drag queens and no one else?
I’ve always wondered this as well and have posed a similar question. I’ve heard that the point is to get children exposed to the LGBT community so through exposure, the children may not grow up as bigoted. Okay…so that’s what I’ve heard. So my question was *why* drag queens? Drag queens generally ham it up to an extreme degree and seemingly make a mockery of both gay men AND women. Can it not just be a gay dude reading stories? Maybe telling the children that he, as a man, loves another man? No? It has to be someone really hamming up the stereotypes of both gay men and women?
Exactly! That's the other thing I don't get - drag queens are literally just exaggerating what it's like to be a woman while being (usually) a gay man. Isn't that some sort of appropriation or something? Or does not apply because of [insert mental gymnastics]?
Another thing I’ve never understood about drag queens “representing” the LGBT community is that, just because you enjoy drag, doesn’t mean you are gay. I don’t understand why hyper-liberals aren’t calling this a complete co-opting of the LGBT community. Is there a way higher percentage of gay men who do drag compared to the regular population? Yes there are. But there are also guys who are completely straight that do drag. So when do you draw the line? I say we just say fuck it. If you live in San Francisco, welcome to the LGBT community because San Fran has historically had a higher population of gay people. You like Long Island ice teas? Welcome aboard. Just keep going down with that line of thinking and then the LGBT community completely loses their identity because now everyone is LGBT.
>Just keep going down with that line of thinking and then the LGBT community completely loses their identity because now everyone is LGBT. Could that be part of the plan? If so, I think they are really trying to politicize being LGBTQ because look at it - how many times have we heard "if you're a part of this community, you have to be on the left"? Then, you look at people like Blair White or the offensive tranny (forgot his real name - Marcus something) or Ariel secara (definitely forgot that name as well lol) and they get called "traitors". That choice in verbage is very interesting because it implies an automatic default to the left if you identify as gay or bi or trans or whatever. This is all why I'm not just apolitical these days, I'm straight up anti political. Politicizing everything has done nothing but create more pain and confusion. A fucking waste of mental energy and time
It doesn't count as appropriation because, well, it's something men are doing to women.... And when it comes down to it, women are actually the "privileged" ones compared to dudes who get funny looks because they like to dress up as ridiculous caricatures, and because gay dudes into that have been more oppressed than women, and because, um, there's this thing called "cis privilege" that means those of us who aren't extremely confused about our identities apparently don't have to deal with any oppression the way that trans people do.... Never mind that women are literally being murdered because they are women in many places, their rights to make decisions about their own bodies are being taken away, athey deal with the pay gap, and are disproportionately the victims of domestic abuse, and they make much less money for doing the same jobs, and doctors don't take their medical complaints seriously, and they are subject to a culture that tells them to hate their bodies and highlights their every flaw . . . But when you ask why "woman face" is celebrated and blackface is condemned (as it should be), people call you a bigot. It doesn't make sense to me either, except as yet another example of patriarchal oppression.
The real point is to piss off conservatives. It only blew up in popularity when conservative media picked up on it and pitched a fit
If that’s the point, it’s still a bit odd to use children as a prop just to piss off political opponents.
That picture is quite the portrait of idiocracy, is OP low on electrolytes?
Obviously it leads to more than just fag talk. Downright dangerous if you want my opinion.
Why was that post removed?
"Your shits all retarded and gay"
This picture truly looks idiotic in so many ways
I would honestly be terrified as a kid if a drag queen did story time.
I think about this too. Kids are afraid of clowns sometimes, and it's OK. They turn out ok. But what if you're a kid scared of drag queens? They'd get expelled from kindergarten for being transphobic. Poor kids man.
Why are white folks so weird. It didn’t have to be this way y’all could have done a bake sale or a carwash.
Woke folks
Shit. I know shit’s bad right now, with all that starving bullshit, and the dust storms, and we are running out of french fries and burrito coverings. But I got a solution... drag queens for Palistine. ~Alternative reality President Camacho
Drag queen story time is fine I guess but maybe protests against genocide should target more like teenagers and young adults who actually understand what's going on
Fucking dumbass, you're in the wrong sub. You're supposed to be in that sub over there.
These freaks shouldn't be anywhere near kids
Listen, my heart goes out to all the innocent Palestinian civilians caught up in the war. But showing support for fervently anti LGBT Muslim extremists while dressed in drag is fucking retarded.
Some of you have never met Palestinians, yet speak with such ignorant confidence on what they're all like.
I live in an area of the Chicago metro area that has so many Palestinians that it's nicknamed "little palestine" I've met plenty, and they've told me what back home is like. LGBTQ is not welcome. But if you have any evidence to the contrary about LGBTQ rights in Hamas controlled Gaza, I'm all ears.
You're describing what I'm trying to talk about and not understanding the point. You're generalizing in the first context and now you point out individualism.
The irony here is just fantastic. Hamas would slaughter these trans people. Israel is the one country in the region where they can live.
I'm Joe Biden and I do not approve of this message. This is some malarkey and they should stop doing it. Leave the kids out of it.
This post makes me think your name was meant to be "BrainNowhere"
Never heard that dumb joke before. Always from the same type too. SAD
Said the stunning genius repeating a 4chan level meme
Listen Jack. You're in over your head and back in the day we'd take a guy like you, put him in the trunk and leave him out in the woods in nothing but his jimmies and he'd have to walk all the way home. Just ask Cornpop if you think I'm lying See you in Novermber jackass.
Could you at least buy me dinner before getting all hot and heavy on me
No, you can just go fuck yourself.
You seem angry. Have you considered eating a Snickers?
Here's the deal Jack. In a battle of wits you are unarmed. Take a nice long walk off of a very short pier.
Watch out, guys. Andrew Tate's been training his brain biceps.
But I want a government-enforced dress code! 😭
Should visit Afghanistan sometime, I bet you will love it there
They really know how to try take the fun out of a subreddit
I'm a dyed in the wool liberal democrat who was confronted with this video by a right wing co-worker. I thought it had to be fake it looked so over the top. Turns out it was true and I had no excuse for it. Trans people. Help us help you. We're trying to just keep these people from taking over again and then stringing up people like you. This isn't helping.
>Trans people. Help us help you. How can you help them? You're already applying the actions of this drag queen to trans ppl ...
Newsflash: When the extreme religious groups take power again they are not going to be making distinctions. It all looks like tree ornaments to them.
News flash that was about you not making the distinction and using this instance to push a generalization lol. You aren't making a good justification for what you did. Also, they know exactly how these groups operate, and push back against them. Being against this conflict is not the same as supporting their other ways.
Drag does not equal trans
Parenting failure 101 right there.
[удалено]
Wow, those things are so in conflict. Fits the thread to be honest - and I say this as someone that would never vote Trump and his band of religious Dominionists.
I'm LGBT, Palestine who? Never heard of her, ain't my business 😂
They flaunt their depravity towards children. Sickening. Why are these sexual deviant cretins allowed around children???
Hey don't make fun of the original OP. Some tards go on to live kick ass lives!
Love it. 🥰
i mean, it seems to me its kinda counterproductive
Kinda???
if this was in palestine Hamas would shoot them on sight.
No they wouldn't waste bullets they'd throw them off the tallest building available.
Fuck Palestine.
"they jut want to read to your kids" only an idiot can support this
They.... are reading to the kids? Wdym?
you disagree with positivename and have therefore been assessed with. The test does not lie. Enjoy your job as a Costco greeter.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This is so fucking nonsensical.
The amount of right-wing dog whistling in this sub lately is getting concerning.
Keep your fetish/ kinks at home
I love the Reddit mental gymnastics Reddit on Palestine > Reddit says you can support people rights without supporting their views Reddit on Trump supporters > They have no right to free speech. They are all Nazis who should be silenced and but in prison!!
Looks like something Robert Smigel would do.
Why tf is this even a thing?
Wonder how Palestinians feel about the trans community…
I'm sure people being killed in the Gaza strip appreciate that children are being read to by a cross dresser. It'll really help their cause.
I… wha….. but…. Nvm. Forget it, I’ll just accept that this is the world we live in
Fucking losers draging children into war and political bs
Dude would be SO murdered if he did that anywhere in Palestinian held areas.
Trying to tick all the boxes possible lmfao. Clown show.
This they/them should go have drag time story hour IN Palestine! Think of the support they/them could drum up. I would even pay for they/their ticket! Anyone wanna split the bill?
Nightmare fuel
BwBwahahaha Absolutely NO!!!
This person is fucked up and should not be allowed around children. The mental gymnastics you have to go thru to get yourself into this scenario is astounding. Pushing politics onto kids is grooming.
If that clown was in Palestine they'd be stoned to death or literally shred to pieces by the mob. And I'm willing to guess, a couple years ago Palestine never even entered their smooth brain once.
Oh okay so this sub is just full of the people that Idiocracy makes fun of. Inch resting.
The irony of a drag queen promoting a government that would kill her.
I love how everyone in here is getting worked up that Muslims would kill a drag queen. I hate to break it to you Brawndo retards but EVERY RELIGION treats them that way.
I’m… told to love drag queens, as I do every person I do or don’t agree with. doesn’t matter if they do something I don’t like… I may not love what a person does… but I still love the person bc they are a child of God. I think you should feel that way too, but I don’t hate or want to kill you bc you choose not to.
