I have a friend who can smell cockroaches no joke. We always take her restaurant suggestions very seriously.

This article is old and only about one incident which was recently settled in arbitration for an undisclosed sum of money and dismal of the case with prejudice. Buzzfeed started doing a deeper dive into Shangela but went bankrupt before it was finished, then Rolling Stone picked it up.

Basically Shangela mixes lots of alcohol and sex with strangers. Something that use to be normal but today is no longer ethical.

Shangela looks fantastic and I think people forget she's an older queen who probably has some older ideas about consent and alcohol.

Do you ban them from museums? Textbooks? Documentaries? No because they are in an appropriate context. I would never wear or display a swastika and I feel disgusted to see one displayed by anyone with pride. Context and motive matter...

I don't believe in these sweeping absolutes. Context and motive are important parts of any equation of what's "acceptable".

I get what you mean, I'm helping to add nuance to the discussion. Also a bunch of white people coming in and telling Angolans what symbols they can and can't use to represent their triumph over colonialism and apartheid isn't a great look either.

Yes I'm aware of the history of Angola.

You asked

Are there any countries that use the symbol that are actually nice places to live with good governments?

Angola has made a conscious decision to stick to this symbol as if transitions to a liberal democracy and stable economy. There were some efforts to change the flag recently because as you said it's often associated with totalitarian regimes. But those efforts failed because to Angolans it symbolizes the Angolan triumph over the colonial oppression of Portugal and resistance to apartheid South African invasion.

It could change in the future, Angola is still moving towards "good government" and "nice place to live" as you said. But for now it remains their national flag.

Just like his income and assests, when filling out bank loan applications they are huge. When paying taxes they don't exist!
