The social media site for conspiracy theorists, far-right nutters and assorted knob-jobs is back up, and I've just joined. My first post reads

Climate change is real, Brexit was a disaster, Donald Trump was a disastrous President, Boris Johnson is a disastrous Prime Minister, Ayn Rand was a humourless psychopath who didn't know the first thing about philosophy despite her pretensions, the earth is (roughly) spherical, Neo-Darwinian evolution is true and 9/11 was not a false-flag operation.
Have a nice day.
I look forward to reading the replies.
Is anyone else on it?

I've certainly had a gut-full of conspiracy theorists over the last few years. I was particularly disgusted by the anti-vaccination programme Roses mentioned. However, since the crowds of nutjobs in these areas seem to be growing all the time, maybe I might look in to put in my pennyworth.
Who knows: "There is much joy over one sinner that repenteth".
Of course, the reverse may happen. Wait for it: Underpants becomes a Covid-denier, a climate change denier, a Trump apologist, a - stop me before it's too late!
