No one gives a shit about this at all. The bot farms are telling everyone that people do. Just the same as the jeans ad idiocy a couple weeks ago that claimed the “left” was offended by when no one actually was.

The same people created both “outrages” for the same purpose. To distract from what actually matters and to attempt to divide people.

I think Fox did a full week on the Sweeny ad during the height of Epstein a couple weeks ago.

Now there are a few dopes who believe the bots and fall for the bullshit and are subsequently amplified on social media but no one actually gives a shit about any of these things.

I have never had a real life conversation with anyone about any of this.

Even repeating it as if it’s real helps do the bot farms’ work.

Every bit of this is bullshit.
