- “Are we the baddies?” Ask the people who also forbid any media coverage of their actions. - “Are we the baddies?” Ask the people who also forbid any media coverage of their actions. - “Muahahahaha!”… - Sorry, a deep resonant haunting laugh is how I cope when faced with a difficult moral conundrum. - (Paraphrased from “Better Off Ted”.) - Such an underrated show! - I need you to weaponize a mouse. 
 Computer mouse or the animal?
 I’ll get back to you.
 
 
 
- I swear we can’t have anything nice. - There was a counter-protest of women from the island to keep that tradition. - Womens rights don’t matter! This is for equality! 
 
- There are ghouls and trogolodytes among us and they arent going anywhere. We have to find a way to maximize humanities better nature and minimize the bad stuff. We just have no idea how to do that. - For starters, Religion in general has clearly failed us and been more of a problem than any sort of help. How much better of a world would it be without any concept of holy lands or tribal traditions that are worth dying over? 
 
- What the fuck, bruises and not being able to sit for a few days. That’s way worse than what I envisioned from the beginning of the article. 
- That article was even weirder and creepier than I expected. By a lot. - Also some interesting bits from a different Austrian tradition: - The Krampuses are now encouraged to only symbolically brush festival-goers, and not actually whip them. 
- You dare to mock the sanctity of the spanking of the fraulein with the cow horn, Ed boys?! - A Rolf quote in the wild. 
 
- Many Germans doesn’t even knew about this until recently. - This is some weird ass backward-Island-tradition. Fucking Creeps. - Midsommar vibes - I’m much into Warhammer Fantasy lately and thought this is some fucked up Chaos-Ritual-Bullshit. - But yeah thats fits also very good 😂 
 
 
- Very similar to the tradition on the nearby Dutch island of Ameland. Sunneklaas - Must be something in the water. 
- Ok, good first step. When do the prosecutions for physical abuse start? - As soon as individual victims dare to report individual perpetrators to the police. In this tiny, tight-knit island community. Where everyone knows everyone. - The police looked away from this for years, it’s insane. - Because they too are members of that community, they too grew up there. Not trying to excuse their inaction, but it all fits the bigger picture. 
 
 
- Thats the neat thing, they dont. You just talk about them and never do them. We call it “bipartisanship” in the US. 
 
- Disturbingly, it was because the practice was considered unfair to the cows. 
- A centuries-old tradition in Germany’s Borkum where young men hit women on the buttocks with a cow horn using cow horn during the Klaasohm festival will be discontinued. - With a cow horn using a cow horn? Sounds like a difficult thing to do, holding a cow horn with another cow horn. I’d have assumed the coefficient of friction would be too low. - It’s just a missing period. - …with a cow horn. Using cow horn during… - And so will the women, after being spanked with a cow horn. 
 
 
- THIS is what the liberal media wants for america - This is probably childs play compared to where America is going. 
 
- One man laughs it off as harmless fun, explaining that “when they [the young men] see a woman, they beat her up a bit with a cow’s horn,” adding that “it’s not really violent.” - The anonymous former islander points out that men would actually feel proud if a woman could not sit for five or six days after being hit. - Mm hmmm not violent for sure 
- That’s why you go with Krampus, Krampus cares about consensual non-consent
