Agreed, I would believe it to be bait if it wasn't for the fact that I've heard similar shit in real life.

The abortion skyscraper was a new one alongside Starbucks for abortions but outside of that if you told a chat bot to act as a sinophobic debate bro he's hitting all the old classics of Mao's big spoon and so on.
