Alright, if we can't have any serious discussions here (even on a thread in a political community, as you so rightly pointed out!) then I guess there's no fucking point in having a fediverse at all, since apparently we're only allowed to use it for shitposts and circlejerks.
Is that what you want? Is the whole reason for decentralization, autonomy, anonymity, and data sovereignty so that the government can't see your dank-ass memes?
why are you so angry? you need to take a break from media dude, seriously.
like, just flip me off and move on. don't let me ruin your perfectly terrible day.
I'm angry because I was so ready to drop history facts about King Richard and Suliman the Magnificent being butt buddies during the crusades and you NEVER SET ME UP TO DROP THOSE FACTS.
Like you could've said "Oh haha, as if the heads of state of two rival civilizations could ever have anal intercourse with each other." But you didn't!
The sheer NERVE.
