I swear that comments on public Facebook posts are the most right-wing place on the planet. Chinless knuckledraggers left, right, and centre just giving the most insane takes on everything.

I got rid of my Social Media earlier in the year and I don’t miss it at all. One of the main reasons was seeing peoples comments like you’re describing there.
 
Grim seeing all these right-wing grifters circling the corpse of Ye's career like vultures, that turd Milo Yiannopoulos among them, hoping for a career resurrection. Now I ain't saying he a gold-digger, but he ain't messing with no woke fella...
Turns out that’s no longer the case:


Milo Yiannopoulos has been released from his position on Kanye West’s 2024 presidential campaign, The Daily Beast reported.

“Ye and I have come to the mutual conclusion that I should step away from his political team,” Yiannopoulos wrote on his Telegram account on Sunday. “Ye is a genius whom I have come to love and respect. We remain friends. I will continue to pray for Ye and all his endeavors.”

Yiannopoulos, whom the Anti-Defamation League describes as a “misogynistic, racist, xenophobic, transphobic troll,” was West’s informal campaign manager and among the first people the rapper brought in to what Kanye says is a legitimate campaign for president. Yiannopoulos’ stint as Kanye’s campaign manager followed his congressional internship with far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene this past summer.

Yiannopoulos recently claimed credit for setting up the now-infamous dinner meeting between Trump, West, and white supremacist and Holocaust-denier Nick Fuentes. Yiannopoulos told NBC News he was “the architect” of the plan to have Fuentes accompany himself and West to Mar-a-Lago in the hopes that Fuentes could get into their dinner with Trump.

“I wanted to show Trump the kind of talent that he’s missing out on by allowing his terrible handlers to dictate who he can and can’t hang out with,” he told NBC News, explaining why he arranged for Trump to meet Fuentes. “I also wanted to send a message to Trump that he has systematically repeatedly neglected, ignored, abused the people who love him the most, the people who put him in office, and that kind of behavior comes back to bite you in the end.”

Yiannopoulos added that he arranged the meeting “just to make Trump’s life miserable.”

And it seemed to work. As soon as news of the dinner broke, Trump suffered backlash, including from members of his own party, for meeting with extremists like Fuentes and West. “He tried to [Poor language removed] me. He’s crazy. He can’t beat me,” Trump said of West and his political ambitions, according to an NBC source.

:lol:

This was the post on my FB this morning from one of those very people::

R.I.P. United Kingdom You are too soft. You raised the cost of living so high that both parents are always at work, rather than spending time with their children. You took God out of schools. Parents were told 'No you can't discipline your kids'. Well, United Kingdom You shall reap what you sow, and we have lost a whole generation and turned them into rude, selfish, disrespectful brats who have no respect for people, property or authority! You deemed people with terminal illnesses and some with only a few months to live…fit for work!!! You allow our veterans of war to go homeless and hungry but give out millions to foreign aid!!! You stop people’s entitlement to welfare benefits thus leaving them so desperate that they commit suicide!! You bend over backwards to be politically correct, too scared to say enough is enough, in case you offend. You put the retirement age up so people must work until they drop!! People depend on handouts and food banks, whilst we give aid to others. Our retired generation rely on inadequate state pensions, their thanks for working hard. Things need to change!
Copy & paste if you have the guts too!!!


It is a work of art in itself

Sorry that was me. I put "give me an evidence free facebook rant that links together a load of things with no connection between them. I want the sentences to be crazy long and punctuation and grammar to be randomly applied." into ChatGPT.

I've had to hold off replying to him all day. And you are right, it is just a collection of things with nothing in common. "R.I.P. United Kingdom You are too soft." Bizarre
