This. I feel like OP encountered one example of a very ornate mosque and is generalizing the rest of them based on that. I know the ones near me are a lot more plain.
By example, compare the architecture of small community christian churches to grand cathedrals in Europe. You’ll find similar extravagance, yet it would be weird to ask why all churches are so ornate just based on those examples.
A few modern poets were. William Butler Yeats is another I know of. His image is somewhat sanitized because he’s an important national poet for Ireland, but he was a rich asshole who was supportive of the fascist movements in Ireland (Blueshirts) and abroad (Francoist Spain). Similar (but less overt) is T. S. Eliot, who also became sympathetic to fascism later in life.

I didn’t even know there was a followup movie in the works. I can understand why a sequel could be good given all that’s happened since, but I can’t understand doing so without most of the important people behind the first one. Sorkin’s a good writer, but I don’t think he was 100% responsible for what made the first one a good movie.
and the cops did their job.
Ah so they kept all of the LGBT migrants and anti-Zionists away.
There are a few bits of text on the background shirts that are unreadable. Also the cans and Funko pop box on the table. A few of the background posters on the wall also make no visual sense either.
It is AI, but it’s pretty damn convincing. If someone were to come around and say “actually, this is a performance art piece making a statement about the inauthenticity of online community, where they handmade fake AI melty graphics in the real world for a photo,” I could also be convinced of that.
Could just change it to “Lois campaigns as a Tory” for that international appeal.
I think this reply may be attached to the wrong comment in the chain for context, but I think the meaning is a bit different (just slightly).

when a group of Foids came
when a group of women came in (“foids”, female humanoids, dehumanizing)
and spiked his Cortisol levels
and riled him up.
Is Ignoring the Foids while munting
Is ignoring the women while getting blitzed/shitfaced (may not be an accurate interpretation of "munting, but it appears to either be a shock value thing involving necrophilia or just getting high on drugs, so I interpreted it as the latter based on context)
and mogging moids
and styling on the other guys (“moids”, male humanoids, dehumanizing)
more useful then SMV chadfishing in the club?
more useful than increasing his sexual market value by being fake as hell in the club?
Thank you for sharing the video. I ended up watching the whole thing and found myself of a similar mind as the presenters: he makes a lot of points that sound downright reasonable. I expected some vapid jock-type like you typically see on reality TV, but he’s able to articulate a lot of problems about our current society in ways that I can’t really refute. It’s just his solutions to those issues that are wrong.
And I think that’s what makes his position as an influencer so dangerous. He’s speaking to the genuine lack of class mobility that Millennials through Gen Alpha have had to accept as reality, and “proving” his point through his own life. Sure he might die by the age of 40 with how unhealthy his lifestyle is. But I think a lot of people in the younger generations would likewise rather party it up to unhealthy degrees while young than work a menial dead-end job for 50 years, hoping you get a couple years of retirement in your old age before you die.
The American flag is already perfect symbolism. Rotate it 90° and you’re looking at a view of the night sky through the bars of a jail cell.

“So you’re saying you’re not sure whether you want to rape or murder the kids?”
The same reason half of Europe has closed shops on Sunday, worker protection.
That sounds more like countries enforcing a religious preference (day of rest on Sunday for church) than worker protection. I suppose it could be branded as secular, but so can France’s ban on wearing hijabs in the name of laïcité.
The world cup has tons of ads playing all around the pitch. The branded stadiums just didn’t want to pay to be on the sponsors list.
