        I remember finding out he was an Israeli when the cumboys were riffing about him. Was the first thing I thought about when I saw the headline.

      On February 7, 2009, Offer and a 26-year-old prostitute were both arrested in Miami Beach, Florida, after a physical altercation.[2] The police report stated that the woman had bitten onto Offer’s tongue and refused to let go, at which point Offer punched her in the face and left her with lacerations and fractures.

    Whoa dude. You’re sooo brave for promising to gang up on the least popular ideas in existence and tell the normies all their popular opinions on weirdos deserve to be genocided for not fitting in should be manifested.

    Stunning and brave, worthless conformist.

      Weird how these guys have been trying to destroy “woke” for like a decade now and have huge amounts of power and resources, and yet, “woke” has only ever become more prevalent according to them. They should probably just give up already, since they’re so bad at it.

      the current meta is that all groups have their own version of woke. everyone is woke, soy, and reddit – just in their own particular way.
