I think all forms of protest are stupid. But I do defend your right to be as stupid as you want.
August 27, 2025 at 03:26
I’m not against it at all. You just don’t know what you’re talking about.

I’m not clicking on your links, bub. One day you’ll just have to make an argument.
August 20, 2025 at 15:33
You can watch in anti-Trump circles the increasing fanaticism in regards to Trump and Putin. The last thing they want is Trump to succeed. Unfortunate...

That’s right, I’m the only person who has ever made such arguments—ever, as far as I can tell. I’m not surprised people disagree with it because they’...

Well, no, the cause of you reading what I write is you. You’re moving your eyes, digesting the words, and so on. I haven’t caused you to do anything.
