Kristi Noem gets in Twitter beef with Lil Nas X over shoes, souls

[If my soul was made of stone]

The joys of the party of the free market panicking that the free market is allowing the marketing of imagery that it finds distasteful.

If I were to skewer the product in question, it would be much more from a Situationist lens than evangelical fearmongering.

I'm sorry, but wasn't the height of the Satanic Scare in the 80's and 90's? Look, I understand Noem is trying to get a base for 2024, and personally, I wouldn't get those shoes(too expensive and design sucks, imo), but that doesn't mean you should rally against some shoes because it "showcases" the how Satan is destroying America. I'm religious, but I don't go after things that has/"may have" Satanic Imagery, since people that like to showcase Satanic Imagery generally either aren't Satanists and just like the imagery, or are just minding their own business(I'm aware there are Satanists who are sick human beings, but from what I've experienced, they're a small minority). It also isn't my right to demeanor people based on religion. Sorry for the paragraph.

QAnon, with its fixation on surrealist fantasy forms of child abuse, is in some ways a discount Extremely Online revival of the Satanic panic, so perhaps she's appealing to nostalgia among those who may have been around for both.

Eight pages about a Twitter feud between the worst governor in America and the "Old Town Road" guy? Seriously?

Guy Debord has never resonated quite like he does now.

I never really had a le rationale atheist phase but this thread is making me reconsider

If you become a pagan like me then you'll piss everyone's sensibilities off, highly recommended

Finally we can let this thread die the noble death that it longs for instead of pumping its decrepit frame full of vitamin supplements and the blood of slaughtered pigs.

BRTD: I’m not homophobic or transphobic!

Also BRTD:

So here's another song that I rediscovered in a playlist and totally reminds me of Lil Nas X as well:

I will not wallow in your disease
You don't scare me
Your makeup, your women's clothing
They don't make me shudder
I'm sorry if that's what you had in mind

The song's over 20 years old. That's a reference to Marilyn Manson, who was quite notable at the time.

You don't know when to cut your losses, do you? Every new post in this thread is just you digging yourself deeper.
