Stormed off after scolding the cashier for “supporting Uighur genocide” after they wouldn’t help him find one made in Taiwan

Are the liberals ok? Are they flooding the streets after reddit took their apps away? This behavior used to be confined to terminally online losers

    I used to live near a food co-op that published a newsletter with a consistently hilarious Suggestions section. Once someone wrote in furious that the bell peppers came from China, and they ended their letter with “Nothing good has ever come from China!” The Co-op replied that bell peppers were in season in China, but not here, and that they strongly disagreed with the assertion. But I do wonder if they’d push back as hard now that the atmosphere has only been growing more hostile in the last ten years or so.

      The idea of a printed newsletter asserting that nothing good has ever come from China despite the fact that both paper and block printing were invented in China is a good bit.
