This is depraved and obscene even by normal Matt Y standards. Simultaneously smug, massively fucking dumb, racist, sniveling and ass covering. Palestinians are simply incapable of being witness to their own genocide, they’re all liars but an Israeli says it now so listen up
Of course, this is just blatantly untrue and so gross
sorry abundos but my tent is just not this big
Journalist visits white-only town in Arkansas. No tattoos, no obese people, I’m impressed. I respect this effort. People can associate with whoever they want. Looks like what, about a dozen people? But if they grow so be it. Freedom is what counts. Just forsake political…

Let’s build 5-over-1s that look and feel like this.
