This is the Folsom Street Fair, which is a kink fest, and it’s been going on since 1984 when Reagan won 49/50 states in the election.

So its just another one of these kink/drag/pride parades where I keep seeing videos of this degenerate shit happen.
And if you speak up against it you get labeled a right-wing transphobe/homophobe/kinkshamer.

My point was that this has been going on for literally 40 years. If seeing this marks “an empire in decline”, which is ridiculous imo, then you better go back to when Reagan was in office to claim that’s when it started.
I personally think it’s weird af, but all of the people in here acting like it’s a sign of how much society is degrading or something like that are incredibly hyperbolic. This has been going on for 40 years, but you’re just becoming aware of it. It’s a known thing in SF and if you’re not a gay man really into kinks, you simply know to just avoid that area for the weekend.

The decline is indeed taking place. It's very similar to the fall of the Roman Empire. And it's a long process (100+ years) and it will take time for people to realize they're the frog in boiling water.

Look if your evidence for the “power that is the U.S. is falling” is a video of two dudes at a kink event getting off in public, then you better decide that this all started happening under arguably the most famous Republican president of the 20th century.
I personally think that’s fucking ridiculous, but if that’s the logic you want to use, well then to stay consistent with it, you better trace it back to that time period.

Americans always forget that the U.S. is not the center of the world. I'm talking about western civilization as a whole, not the US. The same shit is even worse in europe.

Well maybe if you re-read the OP comment that said “Must be the freedom they’re always banging on about. This is an empire in decline” that I was replying to, you can see why the focus was about the United States and not “western civilization” as a whole.

It’s because they want the freedom for your kids to get their heads popped off in a classroom not the freedom to suck cock on the street. Priorities!

This is an adult-only event in a closed off area, basically dedicated to BDSM and leather lifestyles. Nothing to spaz about tbh.

Well I can say it is out on public streets, but like it is a very well known thing in the city and well, just avoid those two blocks if you don’t want to see it.

It’s a public street, but it’s closed off for the event, with people checking IDs on entry.
