The following is satire, and the people are fictitious. Since the Biden administration has once again resurrected the idea of an assault weapon ban, we thought it would be good to check in with “both sides” of the argument. Of course, neither of these sides is our side, but apparently, these are the two sides … Continue reading “The Assault Weapons Controversy: Both Sides”
We’re always talking about conservatives, but it isn’t clear that there are any. Sure, people say they are conservatives, but we know for a fact that white supremacists and other various kinds of fascists will call themselves conservatives.

I realize that — given the way conservatives have been behaving over the last 5 years — you might think that the Great Reset is a conspiracy theory or you might think the Great Reset is a good idea. Unfortunately, neither of … Continue reading “The Great Reset”
I’ve got a coworker who is driving me nuts with their Satanic panic, so I wanted to find a nice YouTube video about it, and I found Getting Sweaty About Globalism by Thought Slime.
