For the near future this account will primarily be used in a quixotic one-man crusade against the UK bandit state’s accursed sugar tax (“Soft Drinks Industry Levy”) and the subsequent lack of any decent fizzy pop in Britain.
Welp. The reaction to this is purely the reason I've been spending much less time on this app. It rewards toxicity at the expense of rational, thoughtful conversation.

I love how @zannymb (the media personification of the smug European consensus that has inflicted such demographic disaster on our continent), must rely on meaningless snarl words like “scary” and “dog whistle”, only to be surgically rebuffed with cold, hard Teutonic reason.
The leftist propagandist who asked Elon Musk if he understood why people loathe him just tried to pressure AfD leader Alice Weidel into disavowing remigration because Syrian and Afghan migrants find it scary.
Weidel doubles down: They all have to go back. They’re responsible for most of the crime. We don’t want a caliphate in our country.

A lot of nominally anti-immigration people have a really bad mental model of the world, and they don't really understand on a visceral level what the population levels of India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines etc look like - there is a de facto *infinite* supply of these people and by simple entropic logic they will get *everywhere* in the absence of extremely strict controls at both ends.
@PYeerk The few comedy things I go to see are sold out ages in advance. This is grim. Money isn’t everything, but he probably could have rode Gervais’ coat tails to Hollywood if he wanted. Karl Pilkington gets ad work and prime time TV cameos.
Compared to useless Google, AI is a magic oracle for retrieving childhood memories when given only vague clues: "A book I read in the late 1980s. It had Captain Hook in it. Mentioned he went to Eton. Maybe involved travel between worlds?". https://t.co/ZfCrmBtQjA
@supermeteor331@PYeerk You’re either a propagandised child, a maladjusted misanthrope or a pedophile. My guess is the first, so hopefully you’ll grow out of it before becoming one of the other two.
