Your "making guillotine jokes about billionaires is insulting to the people of Algeria" schtick was better, IMO.

Oh yeah that moment where you guys were cool with the death penalty and using the civil war imagery of other nations without reflecting on it. Another great moment in left ilxor Americana.

When it's royalty it's cool as hell. Kept hoping the Crown would end in an alternate timeline where Liz got the chop chop like Charles I.

one might ask about the motivation to take the word dystopia and the imagery of the guillotine super literally, but we dont have to ask its in order to scold

What VHS is doing is pretty similar to Carlson in that monologue btw. 'Ignore the problems this is a beautiful place'.

VHS backs the filibuster because he thinks "the nuclear option" actually involves an ICBM.

VHS, plz notice that you will make no headway in resolving this disagreement and it is not because you are failing to make your points, but rather because your points do not penetrate the carapace of the people who are still responding to you.

Yeah, I'm getting to that conclusion. Considering it comes from the usual people who seem to take pleasure in insulting other people instead of advancing a discussion, it doesn't matter much.

The good news is that most of them live in a country with very high standards of living.

I’m really sorry Aimless but I have a rare form of synaesthesia that causes me to hear all your posts as a long fart noise, so I can’t engage with whatever it is you’re saying :(

Someone remind VHS how much he cares about Muslims when they happen to live in the same countries as the rest of us and can’t be used as props in an argument.
