Most folks read comments before articles. Unless you’re more specific about timeframe you’ll fall into the same trap as folks commenting before reading as well.

That being said when an apartheid, blood emerald silver spoon sucking moron takes over twitter and proceeds to ban speech as a “free speech absolutist” all while racist, vile, toxic bullshit floods the platform it’s not weird that people make a connection.

It’s not accurate per this article but I think all of this, people’s comments, the article, the context… it is outlining a pattern that this dipshit is absolutely a part of.

A desperate attention seeking piece of shit taking Saudi money to do the thing isn’t too far off from this article about saudis doing the thing. Though it’s not apt , it’s kinda related.

Fixed that for you.

You’d think that part is clear enough. Yet you are upvoted and I am downvoted. The internet speaks

Well, I'm certainly guilty of not reading the article. You got an upvote from me though.

I should stop browsing and posting last thing at night after having a couple of beers.

But that’s when the good shit comes out.
