I love the detail and information. I hate the presentation. It may carry more weight if it felt more serious.

Honestly I have more respect for the swastika wearing khaki boi than I do for these pitiful little trolls. At least the guy wearing a swastika has the conviction and the balls to say what he actually thinks. He's wrong, he's awful, but at least he isn't a fucking coward too.

Block the guy, reader, he wants to waste your time and energy and frustrate you. That's his goal.

People wearing the mask of "moderate" are usually carrying a shield for the alt-right.
