What’s more, unless I’m missing some post history unknown to me, the OG comment that garnered such a vitriolic response from the angry guy here was more of an admonishment to Microsoft than the US gov. I get he mentioned the US too but the “subject” as it were was microsoft’s long record of being untrustworthy.

Like, he even mentioned that the US gov used to be sorta trustworthy (which is pretty true, unless we want to lie to ourselves in either direction), that isn’t Tankie behavior. In fact I checked like the last 6 posts just to see, and dude’s an ex-American living in the UK. At no point were RU, NK, or West Taiwan even mentioned, he never said “west bad east good,” the angry comment is almost an entire fabrication, again unless those two users have a past interaction I’m not aware of. I don’t necessarily even disagree with the angry guy, just like, go say that to yogthos or davel or someone ffs, this seems incorrect and random.

Funny enough, mentioning previous interactions, I’m not familiar with the comment OP, but I am familiar with the angry guy, “dickalan.” Perhaps unsurprisingly, every comment I’ve noticed of his in the past was him being a complete dick for mostly no reason. Perhaps it’s a character?

Britain wants Mexico to leave the EU? Why?

Mohammed bin Salmon lol.

crazy overreach in service of a fine goal

The UK

Is anyone surprised? That’s their MO.
