I feel like the middle east is sort of just like, haunted, doomed to eternal conflict by malevolent specters.

“Turn down for what”

I already have BSKY and am not currently interested in picking up yet another account for something but thank you

Counterpoint, it was already stupid.

I can only pray that they all tear each other to shreds.

Wait am I just misunderstanding what the Tolerance Paradox is?

My read of the Tolerance Paradox is that it’s Ok to punch Nazis because if you render yourself unwilling to participate in violence, there are others who will happily do it for (to) you.

He breaks through the enemy lines, gets coronated… And injected with Estrogen.

I mean I looked up the official results of the election on google and if that’s not good enough for you then too bad.
