You know, that was a good article until the author took a completely unnecessary and irrelevant swipe at Biden; at which point I completely lost interest in anything the author had to say.

It was good during and after that part too.

I’m really fucking tired of political bullshit being embedded into every-goddamned-thing I read.

lmao. You are in a thread about a protest and its consequences reading an article from a socialist magazine about capitalism and its detrimental effects on search engines. You are very clearly not tired of reading about politics, but instead are just upset that your guy got off-handedly dunked on. It was an extremely small portion of the article. Get over it dude.

Biden’s not my guy. He’s way too far to the right for me, and way too interested in maintaining the status quo. Give me a leader that doesn’t mind breaking a few noses and telling the GOP exactly where they can shove their christofascist bullshit.

But the unnecessary, irrelevant jab was just lazy, shitty writing; trying to score a couple giggle points at the cost of the author’s journalistic integrity. It was out of place, hamfisted, and just plain lazy.

Besides, the internet is bigger than US politics. I’m sure Brazil or Luxembourg doesn’t give a shit about our politics insofar as it doesn’t affect them.

So beating ass and putting dipshits in their place is fine, yet an article writer making a less than one sentence dunk on a politician is a step too far? Bro, if you were a Biden fan your butthurt would at least be understandable, but this is just dumb. Reconsider what you are doing. And to reiterate: get over it.
