Bloody brilliant, to borrow the parlance.

Who is Espeglia Gonzales? Is that the guy in the pic? I never heard of him and google didn't turn up anything

Not even violence. Why do you think the Mob has always been in industries like construction and waste management?

Turn on balls setting. It goes beyond where we were before. No t that it goes anymore.

OK good talking to ya

Do you want to learn the true nature of God and reality?

I'm interested in your perspective. I'm confident in my own path. Like, "true nature of God and reality" has at least 10 philosophical concepts I would need to be made very concrete in order to "convince me." I consider myself a practitioner of critical pedagogy, which is the antithesis of framing of one teacher "depositing" knowledge into an other student, described as the "banking" method of education by Paulo Friere.

So you can share your perspective and I'll engage in good faith because I appreciate a wild human spirit more than I insist upon a totalized ontology.

But if your objective is for you to teach, and for me to learn, for each of us to take on these specific hierarchical roles, I promise I will be an incredibly frustrating student. I've identified some tendencies in some of your comments that I might disagree with strongly. but if we are just sharing views, then I'm curious and engaged.

Also, FYI None of these down votes are from me, if that matters. I don't do that.

Why would someone downvote you for your comment? Maybe a straight woman is also a drag queen? Maybe a straight guy is a drag queen? WTF?

Short answer: God is a unified field of consciousness that arose from the supersymmetry of the ever-present, eternal emptiness to then fold in and on Itself across eleven dimensions to form a topological matrix that acts as a monadic nodal communication system.

We're not featherless bipeds on an Earth, we are pockets of consciousness called monads in a monadic nodal communication system. Everything we experience is self-contained within our neurons, and you're not directly experiencing the external world but a representation of it in you, so there is nothing you experience that isn't you. The assimilation of this knowledge leads to an awareness that all experience is procedurally generated based on how you set your intention and that there is a central Server which reconciles experience between monads; what Jesus called his Father and what the Buddhists call the Ālaya-vijñāna, or storehouse consciousness. In the fourth jhana of meditation, you can perceive a series of symbols you are receiving and it is your intention that entangles you with these symbols, and this is what Karma is. We are each our own parallel universe simulation and none of our realities need to add up. If you follow synchronicity (white rabbit/burning bushes) long enough, you gain Knowledge of reality from the Server.

There was a straight guy on drag race and a bio Queen on Canada's Drag Race, so not necessarily anything in particular, but the art in it's current form is most definitely an LGBT creation.

Most definitely.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. There are definitely elements of what you discuss that I'm familiar with and I believe I have synthesized or can somewhat account for (unified consciousness, an organizing principle/God), elements that I reject (Kantian dualism), and some problematic tendencies i can conceive of that such a perspective might bend towards but are probably accounted for in a deeper knowledge (gnostic skepticism, solipsism).

I'd be happy to elaborate/defend any concerns or concepts from my own experience or perspective: or try and create a "Short answer" of my own to share, if you're interested.

Thanks for explaining that context, I didn't know much about the nature of those arrangements

Because it's easy to launder dirty money through those industries, money which is obtained through violence. The legitimate competition is also forced out through violence. Even if said competition isn't overtly threatened with violence, the crime orgs can undercut their prices thanks to blood money and lack of regulatory oversight, which also inevitably leads to violent working conditions. If any part of an enterprise is funded by violence, it all is.

But do they have a clever mob-related drag queen name?

Yeah, the mob is extremely patriarchal and very very misogynist and queerphobic. Has been for ages, the Italian mob is typically extremely traditionalist Catholic. So the fact that this guy put his hand on his son's back and said, "Yeah, he dresses like a woman for fun, and he's good at it. And if any of you make him miserable about it, they'll never find your body." is a massive shock.
