In the UK and Australia, yes

Fox News wasn’t founded until 1996 so the internet actually predates “reactionaries shoveling Murdoch bullshit”

Shawshank Redemption was a book. The Godfather was a book. Lord of the Rings, Forrest Gump, Fight Club, Goodfellas, Silence of the Lambs… That’s just from the first 25 of IMDB’S top 250.

The Thing is a remake. The Fly was a remake. Scarface, The Departed, The Mummy… all remakes.

It doesn’t really matter if this is real or not.

Hamas killed over a thousand Israelis, Israel doesn’t need any other justification.

We tried not censoring the internet and it hasn’t worked

If it makes you feel better, think of it as Europe defederating from Twitter

People celebrating dead Israelis because west=bad is not offensive to you?

Communism good, therefore China good, therefore West bad, therefore Israel bad, therefore dead Israelis good!

What a fucking worldview

“Hey Israel called and they asked about when we’re going to delete all the posts celebrating dead Israelis? Sorry Linda are you still there? You’ve gone silent. Linda???”

Only 2 people were killed in Arrival, I don’t want to get all Stalin but is that a huge number?
