I bluntly say a bunch of blatantly obvious things that for whatever reason people have sub consciously avoided thinking about. Ironically, I never caught that before myself.12 Jul 2026 16:58 +0000at://did:plc:dasms37o7ztvaapsvp5yhaqf/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqhnlpogt22ghttps://bsky.app/profile/wildpiguk.bsky.social/post/3mqaqsqmooc25Regardless of party, can we all agree not to support very bad people?
