I mean, that's rather the thing with Vox. He's not "wrong" in the factual sense, the issue what he is deploying the truth in SERVICE of, i.e. he's planning to spend the bodies of sinners like currency to purchase his own personal power in blood
Gotta say, even with all the manipulation he was doing and the fact that he doesn't actually care about the well-being of sinners, Vox threatening Sera and Heaven gave me chills and I was 100% on Hell's side in that moment.

This would actually make me shop less at the store.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Seriously how hard is it to say “This is an outrageous attack on our friends and neighbours who are in this country legally and have followed all the rules to get settled status, who are valued members of our communities, get to fuck frog-face”?
Keir Starmer’s spokesperson asked for the PM's response to Nigel Farage’s plan to deport hundreds of thousands of people living and working completely legally in the UK, replies that he thinks it is “unworkable” and “unfunded”.
So his objection is that they’ve got their sums wrong

There is no civility in the concept that me and my wife shouldn’t exist. No matter how many nice words or what smile you put on it. It is an inherently uncivil concept. You absolute doorknob. Assuming this isn’t a performative foolishness.

Stop saying Starmer is implementing Trump policies, he's not. He started months before the US election and told us he would when campaigning. Streeting met with transphobic groups 4 months before the US election and extended the PB ban 3 months before. This isn't Trump, this is Labour.

Hey for real, South Park contributed more to transphobia being normalized in the pre-Rowling era more than any other media I can think. Garrison alone.

Its worth noting that in Britain, Mamdani would have thrown out of the Labour Party by a small room full LinkIn weirdos and then replaced by a former private healthcare lobbyist who would go on to lose by 5,000 votes to a Reform candidate who was a convinced sex offender.

In retrospect it shouldn’t be surprising that people who can’t even handle the existence of redheads are going to take issue with trans folks.
