Current Affairs Culture wars & The rise of grifting

[Rita_Poon]

Seen that tit in Argentina with the chainsaw and thought similar will do. Is it democracy when the average arse hole on the street has more in common and more time for some other arse hole on social media than they have for the button down, establishment type with the degree from oxford and a seat in chambers at some law firm that's taken time and effort to earn. The short termism has spoken.
I want a double phd performing my triple heart bypass, but when it comes to running the country the more drunk and stupid the better I says.

Obvious lunacy aside, I just found out today that flamethrowers are legal in 49 states. Like propane brush burners, sure, but actual fuel throwing flamethrowers. WTAF.

Feels like just chucked the word 'Woke' in for no reason other than to get more clicks

Sounds like a busman's holiday, surely?

From everything I've seen, the men who actually care about this sort of thing exist primarily in the alt.right-leaning 'manosphere' where they bang on about 'body counts' and 'tradwives', and are very strongly opposite (and opposed) to any pretensions of being "woke".

So yes, this 'journalist' is either completely ignorant about this or just trying to drum up clicks. Or getting screwed over by the sub-editors.

When's she next on holiday and where to?

The shaming of sexual choices is the remit of conservative thinking surely? The clue is in the name.
So, yeah, deffo just thrown in there for clicks

Lol. Did they have woke ID badges? Were they kneeling as they slut-shamed her? Did they recast James Bond as a black trans person? I'd love to know the editorial process this went through
