A lot of jokes itt, but this is more fascism.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Making fun of fascists can often be just as satisfying as punching them. Both is best, of course...but one or the other will also do.

[–] BloodMuffin@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago

no, it will not do.

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 7 points 2 days ago

Paying someone to hold his phone when he's been drinking, so it's a full-time position.
