I'll give mine to get the ball rolling.

There was a user that, before getting banned, declared that every single living human being alive on Earth right now should not exist because no one had the benefit of a pre-conception device on hand to somehow determine each individual's consent to exist before they started to exist.

I don't know if that take would make David Benatar blush, make David Benatar cackle with glee, or if that was posted by David Benatar himself.

I wasn't around for that particular series of (pumpkin spice flavored) hot takes and I can't help wonder what sort of condemnations the Flintstonian had about that particular beverage.

My memory sucks but I remember them being mad at women for making all things pumpkin flavored or something? It was incoherent as you'd guess.

Sounds a bit like the "women be wasting money on shoes while supreme gentlemen like me open our wallets for Steam sales for games we never get around to playing, praise Gaben" or "horoscopes are for superstitious morons, but fortunately I am INTJ which means I'm too smart for that" takes I've seen on reddit-logo

Scrolling through u/twitter they seemed like any other poster, until one little thing sticks in their craw and suddenly they're posting mysogynist and hobophobic slurs and fucking death threats??

patriotic socialism will win
