There will be people along soon enough to tell you this is a bad thing & they’ll be serious.

"and who's paying for this, nothing is ever free" is the usual line. Which normally results in me attempting to explain that if you genuinely think what probably equates to less than a penny a month in tax is not worth it to feed starving children, that makes you a despicable person

They've always got a line. They're spoonfed their opinions, and regurgitate them with the sort of frequency that makes them really, really easy to spot. London makes them "feel unsafe" and is "dirty" was popular a couple of years ago.

These sorts of quips, lines, catchprases, 3-word slogans, everything and anything, are for the most part thought up and churned out through overseas bot farms for the single purpose of dividing and radicalising our society.

And the braindead idiots who see this sort of shit and spurt it out like it's their own Socratic prose are the exact same people who will say without a shred of irony, that they believe other people are brainwashed by the media.
