The Media 

Is trying to break people, Chat. See, the conclusion is always the exact opposite of what is actually the case.
Hym "So, I'm watching this video about the Knights Templar and how they have ties to the pirates and how it can be traced to modern politics and the conclusion he draws is that the Templars are trying to get revenge for the persecution of men who value intellect and science... But really it's the persecution of fat-cocks. The conclusion is always the exact opposite of reality. They were demonized during the Roman Empire and historically for fucking all of the women and then they installed the fat-cock dictatorship and society collapsed. And now... The Media is doing this to me for crying Fat-Cock dictatorship. Likely at the behest of the government. The got the celebrities in on it. All to defend their solipsistic fat cock incest cult."
