Speak softly, and carry a bloody good pair of running shoes.

Phibes, it occurs to me that there is no place on this planet, no group you could join, where you wouldn't eventually get into trouble.
You're just that kind of guy, dangerously funny but angering to the uninitiated.And you say you left England of your own free will. . .

Walk into any bar populated by more than ten people and there's always at least one guy that looks like he needs to have his ass whupped...

I closed my FB account years ago because of their censoring and privacy policies.
I've opened a test parler account. Only a very small part of the political spectrum is reflected there.

Maybe it'll grow? And how political is the platform? Is that all that's talked about?

I randomly searched for the word "Germany" on Parler. It's not a very partisan word.
Look at how often words like "QAnon" or "Nazi" or "Trump" show up in the results.
I'm not saying it can't change or grow. But right now it seems to be populated mostly by hard core Trump fans and conspiracy theorists. -

Parler requires your phone # to create an account, forget it

And there's always one who comes back from the bathroom to find that some bastard's put a drawing pin on his chair.

Nah, you need to hang around a bit more in the kind of bars where the band plays behind a chicken wire screen.

Rough pubs are banned in England. I grew up completely surrounded by people who look and sound like Hugh Grant.

Do those actually exist? Where would I find one?

Also, the movie Road House would give you a good idea of what they're like.

When I was a lad, you could find those on the TLO (Texas/Louisiana/Oklahoma) bar circuit. Usually, small dive bars with a mixture of cowboys, rednecks and roughnecks. You couldn't buy a beer except in cans, because they weaponized long necks, mugs and pitchers.

I'd never heard of MAGAJesus until today. Was he proper Jesus' evil twin, or maybe he's that white guy in all the old paintings.
