    Well, yes, there's this: Though kneeling makes perfect sense, albeit under other circumstances, ones not "available" in UK - the rifle is soooo much easier to aim... :D

    Kind of depends, for upper tiers of society - royalty especially, but aristocracy and nobility too, marriage was a tool of politics to seal an alliance. Arranged marriages that backed political alliances and bonds with bonds of blood were the norm. Marriage for love was not something that could...

    Well that, and besides, if someone told me they don't want to take my money (because them reasons), well, their loss, I'll just go to and hire / buy from their competition. Free market capitalism, ho! :D

    It's... complicated. It was "ok"(-ish) to "take", but to "give" very much not so.

    United States George Floyd Protests, Reactions and Riots

    I think it's a side effect of the social safety net growing too large. Now I'm all in favour of hiving a helping hand to those who fell on hard times due to no fault of their own, but gaming the system, and screwing up the rules of the system by expanding it's scope to get votes and win...

    It should be added the Church of Rome had done a lot to destroy itself - from good old simony and corruption, to modern issues like coverups of paedophillia of priests. Jokes like: "How do you call a dating app for priests? Kinder." "How do you call a priest moved between parishes? Sex...

    In Polish also translated as Cep Cepa Cepem Pogania. Cep meaning both a flail (agricultural), as well as a moron / idiot. Pogania - prods, rushes. So a "moron prods a moron with a moron".

    That's mostly because left-wingers "act" on what they "think" (for a given "value" of left-wing thought...) the right does or should do. Strangely enough, it all boils down into things that validate left-wing narrative, factual correctness being entirely optional.

    You mixed up years, I think it was 2018, but otherwise correct - some leftwing moron thought he'd score easy victim-hood points by applying blackface and going to Independence Day march (mostly nationalist rally), only to be completely ignored by everyone. Edit: it's also quite telling that one...

    For good old street thuggery, they'd be better served by a suit of full plate armour, functionally impervious to most "street fight" level of blunt trauma, need specialised kit to deal (war mace / war hammer) with. (they'd need to watch out for tear gas / mace though). Punching someone with...

    That's basically de-legitimising democratic elections, and thus democracy itself. It seems democracy is being re-defined* by the left into "it's only democracy when we win". Sounds familiar, doesn't it... We've had / have right now the same thing in Poland, albeit less virulent / violent. So...

    The same could be said about the US ideology of "indispensable nation", as it can't imagine the world making do without Uncle Sam's enlightened guidance... A great many things have been touted as "historically inevitable", it was a core principle of dialectic materialism no less. Few of them...
