Originally it’s just a beach/surfing brand and, well, lifestyle. But pigs and military co-opted it as a kind of thin blue line symbol, since it’s word play on “assault life”.

I mean, the book of Genesis was essentially a collection of earlier Sumero-Babylonian, Canaanite, and Egyptian cultural materials. And it reflected the contemporary practices, laws, and customs of neighboring people in its narrative. The specific part I was referring to, the shift from the Mother-Goddess to God-the-Father, was also in line with it. It just happened to be that the cornerstone of western monotheistic religious thought was birthed in social setting and conditions that affirmed and reinforced patriarchy.

I guess my point is that what they shat on in the bible was what they were already shitting on as societies. And then they used it as a justification to keep doing just that.

Fun fact, Minoan snake-goddess was one of the many female goddesses from 4000BC onward that were worshipped as a source of fertility for vegetation, animals, and humans. Other great goddesses for millennia were depicted surrounded by snakes, goats, birds, often amidst pillars of trees. And then in the christian story of the Fall the tree has become the tree of forbidden fruit. The power to give life is represented by the bearded patriarchal God, the Father. And the snake, long associated with the goddess, now becomes the tempter, and the first command to the woman is that there shall be enmity between her and the snake.

I’ve seen is a blurry video of like, two women, sitting in a room supposedly peeling garlic with their mouths

Of the 25 largest cities, 20 saw increases in their police budgets from FY 2019 to FY 2022. Twenty-one of these cities are run by Democrats.

By “they” do you mean the Japanese, who occupied the country for 45 years? Who were so nice to the natives as to force them into sex slavery, draft into war, and force 80% of the population to change their names to Japanese ones? Or the US, who drew an arbitrary line on a map, and installed the same Japanese back as the ruling class in the south right after the war? And when that sparked military intervention from the northern part of the country, slaughtered 3 million koreans “to protect koreans”? In that case - yep, “they” definitely did commit quite a few assaults of many kinds.

Edit: or by “they” you just meant the soldier and I’m being outraged for no reason. Either way I’ll leave this up.

There’s roughly a billion people living in the imperial core, enjoying the privilege built off of exploiting the resources and moving the industries to the periphery. Then they call the other seven billion the problem, and tell them to cut their (much lower) standards of living to make up for it. Definitely makes sense, yep.

I had the exact same question.
