Makes me wonder if they are making contingencies for a Trump victory.

The US government could force Google to reveal if people are accessing abortions or contraception, or participating in protests.

Seymour’s idiotic comment is real, but the article you linked is satire playing off it.

A lot of the internationals here seem to be taking the article at face value

Just hoping that everyone understands that The Spinoff, like The Onion, is a satirical website

If 14 year old me had heard I would buy a top-tier computer only to underclock it, he would have cried.

But here we are.

He doesn’t try to prevent crime, he simply delights in the sadistic act of beating up criminals, which is ironically a crime.

He instantly judges people based on which side of the law they stand on, but when he is declared a criminal himself, he doesn’t even attempt to reflect on it. He just keeps punching.

When his own friend is revealed to be a rapist, murderer and war criminal(?), he has no interest [“I’m not concerned with speculating on the moral lapses of men who died in their country’s service”], because he doesn’t actually care about crime, he just uses ‘fighting crime’ as an excuse for his real passion, beating up those he considers undesirables.

He’s a hypocrite (and a fascist).

It’s the same story with tons of films: Taxi Driver, Joker, The Boys, Watchmen. They get universal praise from the left and right.

The Left: “This insightful satire shows the protagonist’s slow descent from obsession and inceldom into terrorism and psychopathy. It serves as a stark reminder of how these thought patterns are the beginnings of a societal tragedy.”

The Right: “I fucking love this guy. He just shoots the people he doesn’t like. Based. Highly recommended.”

I’m happy to eat bugs. Lobsters are basically bugs.

Don’t conflate the ecologically sustainable practice of bug-eating with American fascist secret service bullshit.
