It’s the same cult at work in all spheres. The people cheering the jihadis are the exactly the ones who claim that children need to be castrated by the medical system to treat their emotional distress. I wonder if trans children in Gaza are committing suicide because they don’t have access to gender affirming care? Yet another thing to blame Israel for I suppose.

Hilarious! I thought you were freaking nuts in belief until I thought this MUST be a joke and kept reading. Bravo. True. Some brainwashed, non thinking CNN watchers will actually think this is real. My dad, sisters and brother in law would. 🙃

It’s too “triggering” for people to think anymore. Reacting and raging gives a better high. 😳

Brilliant Satire. Want to share with what’s left of my progressive friendship group. But I suspect they would take it literally and agree with it.

Anyway, you skewering it has helped me stay above the madness today. Thank you

Thank you. I try to follow their logic but have zero expectation that the brainwashed would question any of their conclusions.

The only problem with your piece is that the sarcasm will be lost on many, and some will actually believe the bs as the truth!

I hope you do worry every time you publish something, because you have an illegal sense of humor and should have been cancelled, like, yesterday.

Unfortunately, you can't turn yourself in to the founder of Substack, because he has a dangerously fetishistic interest in the First Amendment, God only knows why.
