    Fun story: I used to be a Tristan Tate fan. Now, now, put down the pitchfork, I can explain. Back before these two blew up, I kinda knew who Andrew Tate was and the kind of content he made but had never actually watched anything he put out. One day, scrolling YouTube shorts, I was served a video of a guy saying shit so ridiculous that I couldn’t help but laugh. I then noticed his name was “Tristan Tate” and thought to myself “Oh, he must be a satire of that Andrew Tate guy I’ve heard about”. For the next several days, I watched almost every Tristan Tate short I was served — I couldn’t believe how fucking good he was at satire. Then I got served one where he talked about his brother and everything clicked in my head. I guess I’m grateful I never shared anything.

    Do you remember how, in kids cartoons, you’d sometimes have the villains team up to do their evil deeds? It always seemed to unrealistic that they’d all be on the same team. And yet…

    It’s cool that we get to see Idiocracy worldwide, not just the US version. Every dystopia gets its own cultural flare. So cute.

      In Idiocracy the people were just stupid, there wasn’t any real malice to them - unlike these absolute clowns.

    Sure. Why the fuck not.

    That will give our pinheaded non-voting trolls a whole other country to be priggish twats in for a few months anyway.

    I mean - how far away from Matt Gaetz is the guy? Criminally? Not that far. And he’s going to be Governor next, so clearly it’s time for the All-Rapist party to be ascendant.
