If I have to think of something that dumb, I'll be damned if I'm not going to share it.

Looks like bro on the right is asking if they should kiss too. Bro on the left looks disgusted.

Bro on the left too young to remember socialist fraternal kiss.

It was in France, and they aren't a couple, they just wanted to (rightly) piss off the (la) Manif pour tous

The socialist fraternal kiss was a special form of greeting between socialist state officials. The act demonstrated the special relationship that exists between Communist countries, consisting of an embrace, along with a series of three kisses on alternate cheeks.[1] In rare cases, when the two statesmen considered themselves on exceptionally good terms, the kisses were given on the mouth rather than on the cheeks.

Right in front of my Mao?

[–] Tiral@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

That's crazy, they just lashed some kid a few years back who filmed himself beating up a Mao statue/doll/toy. He was pretty young, like under 10 I think. I'd try to find the article, but the CCP has deep pockets when I'm it comes to scrubbing the internet of shitty things they do.

I think there's a few YouTube videos still up taking about it that weren't mass reported by their 10 cent army.
