Because whitewashing fascism is supporting it and I'm tired of giving people who are part of the problem grace.

I understand, was just trying to shoehorn the 7 words into a semi-satirical post.

Still, sucks that the response to censorship is to capitulate in advance. I’m all for creative insults for the sake of being creative but it’s way beyond that right now.

I am known to be rather stubborn though, so my instinct in such situations is to get even mouthier.

You didn’t, but this is the sort of sentiment that aligns:

Everyone I know has been roasting the patriot games, but... it sounds sort of fun???

It might, if it was anything other than a spectacle in service of dear leader. They do not deserve the benefit of the doubt.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is how fascism arrived.

Sure, it’s all in good fun, and the ballroom is just an upgrade for the people, and the illegals dying in detention, aren’t dying because they were detained, just coincidentally dying in captivity. Let’s always look for the silver lining in the sturmwolke.

What the fuck is going on with all the goddamned self-censorship online? It’s so shitty and depressing to see people proactively capitulate to these damn cunts and cocksuckers in power. Really pisses me off.

D’oh, forgot tits…

He’s an heir to a multibillion dollar fortune. So, he worked really hard and earned his way…

I agree with you but the problem is that the incentives to collect data responsibly are FAR outweighed by financial benefits of doing it, and the barrier to entry is not much larger. So, when the vast majority of data collection is abusive, and the incentive structure is there to ensure it continues to go that way, folks are understandably upset to hear about ANY data collection these days.

Agreed, one of my favorites. I always read it as satire though.

I was going off about passwords last week because of exactly this kind of shit. Who in the goddamned fuck needs a pringles.com account.

We live in insane times.
