    Checked the account thinking it was maybe satire, but nope - just a vile ragebaiter. People can seriously suck.

      Before, satire was easy. You could just make a message internally inconsistent and people would eventually realize “this can’t be a real person’s avowed opinion, because it doesn’t make any fucking sense.”

      And then Death took on subcontractors to expand its market to communication.

      Cue the idiots: i.e., influencers.

        Ragebaiting is good for engagement and shareholder value. Or are you some kind of communist tankie that is against folk making an honest living???

          As a communist tankie, nobody should be living, for I am a monster hell-bent only on the destruction of Western civilization. I love American.

      It was so utterly ridiculous and straw grasping that I was convinced initially it had to be satire.

      Reality really is disappointing.
