Popular Post grain Posted December 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 6, 2023 I'd agree if it was toned down and held in designated areas for 2-3 days, but the way it is now is just insane, it's closer to drunken hooliganism than anything resembling "Cultural Heritage". There's also the huge death toll and terrible traffic injuries to consider, that's nothing to be delighted about. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bamnutsak Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 So will twerking be allowed? More than three thrusts? Or will the MiniCult (Ministry of Culture) be along to ban it? Looks tangibly cultural to me? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4csFYAwolTs This "Soft-Power" nonsense will last longer than the "Sufficiency Economy". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
