LGQT = LeGo Q-Ty = Lego Cutie = boyfriend/girlfriend made from Legos...and unless they're made of the soft silicone legos, I'd advise against getting overly involved.

You sound as if you speak from experience.

Not chafed me'self,.. no. <chuckle!> Neither the acrylonitrile butadiene styrene nor the polysiloxane are to my liking.

..a preference for biologicals, thank ya' very much,.. and these days, and lots preceding, only the one I call me love.

<shaka!>

... So Generals want more war, feminists want more rape, and liberals want
more climate change disasters. That's the way the world works.

Residuals,.. it's all about the residuals.

Any "story teller" these days KNOWS that the big money is in the franchise,.. not in the book.

A serialized story of suffering, or the fight against suffering, or preferably both, is where the remuneration is at.

There's an interesting dynamics theory that shows how all the "stories", of war and abuse and extortion, are powered and perpetuated through time, as they're all just side-effects of the tide of believed memory.

..what's that theory called again,.. I'm old, and my memory is fading...

How to Divide the World

What reaction would this elicit in the Public Square?

Chorus
My dashing darling is my hero
My dashing darling is my Caesar
I have had neither sleep nor good fortune
Since my dashing darling went far away
x2

I am perpetually worried every day
Wailing heavily and shedding tears
Since my lively boy was released from me
And there is no word of him, alas

Chorus

The pleasure of the cheerful cuckoo at noon is gone
The affable nobility are not bothered with sport
The learned and the cultured are worried and sad
Since the lively lad was taken from me

Chorus

He is like Young Aonghus
Like Lughaidh Mac Chéin of the great blows
Like Cú Raoi, great son of Dáire of the gold
Leader of Éire strong in pursuit

Chorus

Like Conall Cearnach who breached defences
Like worthy fair haired Feargas Mac Róigh
Like Conchubhar venerable son of Nás of the tradition
The pleasant chieftain of the musical [Fenian] Branch

Chorus x2

Since my dashing darling went far away

..missed one! Sorry.




And possibly the most divisive video the world has ever known:

This is a form of Youth Church, and many older people too. I love this. Can be very popular as a feeling of together; a feeling of goodness, belonging. Another good example is Catholic World Youth event; more than a million people together at mass. Even at Vatican square mass on big occasion; when 300 000 people say Amem' together its a very special feeling

Uh, yeah,.. it is, sorta...

It's actually "just" a summer school program (https://lurgan.biz/) in the Indreabhán gaeltacht (gaeilge/irish speaking area), of some three weeks in length where the kids MUST speak the language (gaeilge) exclusively, for full immersion.

It IS an inspirational program, that's for sure. If only there'd been such a thing when I was a kid,.. and we had 1400 Euros (in dollars 'cuz I'm in the US) to spend,.. and I'd have been practicing my gaeilge for a few years, which I hadn't.

Anyway,.. the real point I was illustrating is that a very nationalistic (reviving a nearly dead national language is about as wholesomely nationalistic as you can get) program like this, if run in the US, for example, would LARGELY be seen as a fascist white nationalist "movement".

Yes, that WOULD BE transplanting the program out of it's "national boundary" (and into the US), which might sort of "denature" it in terms of it's "nationalism", but as long as anyone with the interest and moderate practice of the gaeilge could get into the program, why would it be "justifiably" accused of being a white nationalist front?

The point is that it just simply WOULD be so accused, and for the simple reason that "busy-bodies" are actively looking for things to complain about, regardless of how good they are for "minority" (Gaeilge interested) people and the surrounding communities as well.

More DEEP nationalism is needed for each group of people within the larger society, so that they can learn to appreciate others natural "diversity" of culture.

So when I studied Latin in high school, I was being
super-nationalistic, and fascist white nationalist??? Huh?

Oh wait!! Come to think of it, I still remember the first page of the
first textbook:

America est patria mia. America est patria tua. America est patria
nostra.

Yeah, that is pretty nationalistic, isn't it.

To the "Annoyance Needy" (those who don't feel "good" about themselves unless they're annoyed at others) any excuse to be annoyed is welcome.

Gatherings of "those" people learning "their" language and having "their" fun is a threat to "me" and "my" group/language/speakers and "my" fun.

..an ancient story, isn't it?

Why do we keep spinning it?

..because frustration and resentment is ever present, and the very fiber spun by the Μοῖραι who are the daughters of Ἀνάγκη.

** 22-Dec-2019 World View: Hong Kong protesters show solidarity with Uighurs in concentration camps

• A police officer during a rally in Hong Kong on Sunday in
  support of the Uighurs (AFP)

After seven months, this week's pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong
took a different twist. About 1,000 people gathered peacefully,
waving Uighur flags and posters. One protester shouted through a
loutspeaker:

"We shall not forget those who share a common goal
with us, our struggle for freedom and democracy and the rage
against the Chinese Communist Party."

A mixed crowd of young and elderly people, dressed in black and
wearing masks to shield their identities, held up signs reading “Free
Uyghur, Free Hong Kong” and “Fake ‘autonomy’ in China results in
genocide”.

It's believed that over a million Muslim Uighurs in East Turkestan
(Xinjiang) have been arrested, confined to concentation camps, and either
killed or forced into slave labor.

If the Hong Kong protesters continue to identify with the Uighurs,
that will present even more severe problems for the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP).

Riot police broke up the peaceful demonstration with pepper spray, and
the protesters responded by hurling glass bottles and rocks at them.
