Very normal country where the fash fucks are spreading news calling LGBTQ+ people as groomers but this is considered normal in their eyes.

I’ve been in bars on afternoons in Italy in which whole families were present.

This backwards ass country still holds onto that dumb puritanical notion that we can possibly make kids aware that alcohol exists. Which of course means by the time their 16 or 17 they’re primed to start overdoing the forbidden thing. How many more tragic multi-person car wrecks of drunk teenagers do we have endure before we understand this?

As someone who grew up in a country where every highschool had a bar for students and where parents would volunteer to serve booze at teenage parties to make sure kids got drunk in a safe environment all of this American neurosis seems weird to me.
