Spend as much time on social media as I do, and you'll be waiting for the big asteroid to come wipe us all out too!

Ha! I suspect I do, Trav. Waaay too much time.

And I don't think it's a Left/Right/Centrist/liberal/whatever thing. EVERYONE is doing the "I can't go to bed because someone's wrong on the Internet" thing!

Welcome to the club. So when did you become a national socialist? I was labeled in 2016 by a lovely SJW brigade trying to tell me everything is racist.

I suspect they have to train hard at it at some kind of College for Complete Arseholes tbh. You're only allowed in though if you already have a Foundation Certificate in Arseholery. It's the only explanation imo. :)
