The 2025 Omnibus Political Memes Thread

re Australia debating changes to the public health system.

Yep

I was thinking about that a few days ago. Once the driver decided to do it, the only people who could conceivably stop it are the other crew members in the turret. But that would take time and by then the mission would likely be accomplished.

The only way to possibly prevent it would be if they placed the reviewing stand or whatever behind Jersey barriers or a lot of thick concrete bollards. The former would be a lot harder to overcome.

they ain't gonna give em no ammo

It’s satisfying, in a sense, that I’m not the only person to make that same connection. I’ve wondered my entire adult life why ‘suck my dick” is an insult, but then want “the woman he loves” to suck his dick.

Weird.

It all stems from the ancient idea that a woman's virginity is a prize for a man to pry out of her, or to be traded off by her parents.
Thus, because it is so precious, the idea that a woman would willingly engage in those activities means that she is lowly in some way.
And everything else pretty much stems from that.

There's also the consensual/non-consensual aspect. Having a pee-pee in one's mouth is great if they want to have a pee-pee in their mouth. If one does not want to have a pee-pee in their mouth, having one in there anyway is the opposite of great.

Non-consensual sex is degrading, which is why it's very illegal. Consensual sex is only degrading if one wants it to be and a BDSM dynamic is negotiated with a partner.

Also, insulting someone by threatening to rape them is shitty.

Neither of which explains why you would want someone you supposedly love to perform such a degrading act.

Are you talking about oral sex or BDSM stuff?

Oral sex: As I said, it's only degrading if it's non-consensual. As far as my dick is concerned, if it's in someone's mouth, I hope to hell they want it to be there, and don't feel they're degrading themself. If someone feels that putting my dick in their mouth would be degrading, I'd rather they not put it in their mouth unless and until such a time that they no longer feels it's degrading.

BDSM: Some people enjoy being degraded in a safe environment, for various reasons. When done properly, it's not actually degrading, just simulated degradation.

If one feels sucking a dick is always degrading, yet still wants their partner to perform oral sex on them, I would not describe their feelings toward their partner as "loving."

So, what I hear you saying is that it’s only degrading if you (owner of the dick in question) want it to be. …. Doesn’t really answer the question when one is questioning whether or not said dick owner really feels the way he says he feels or if he’s lying - for whatever reason.

Also, what if it’s just a hook up? Would you not want to “see” that person again if they don’t consider the act degrading?

I'd say how the person doing the sucking feels about it matters more than the person receiving, assuming the receiver consented. If people are having sex and lying about how they feel about doing so, I don't see things going well.

Quite the opposite. I like sexually open people.

So this came out before this season of Black Mirror?
