    There’s a secret competition between government officials to see who can set up the most difficult material for a game of “Real news or Onion story?” that’s really getting out of hand. Southern states have comfortably secured their continuing dominance of the leaderboard and are mostly fighting among themselves for the coveted #1 spot.

      It seems like they push this kind of stuff to normalize it, so when they do less overt fucked up shit, no one bats an eye.

      Among the malicious actors, there’s “regular” people caught up in this, and this sort of behavior is all they know, and anything else is shunned, woke, liberal crap… That’s sad to me, how much of a product of environment we can be, and how that trait of ours is abused by POS people like the ones in power. I guess it’s self fulfilling. Can’t fight something(racism bigotry etc) when it’s all you know.

      It’s surreal that this kind of stuff is happening, and becoming more obviously malicious.
