I only see Tory used as "one who supports conservative policies". Obviously it consequently also means you're bad, but I don't see it applied to people who don't do the first thing.

Can I please get the actual answer? I don't know what a Google lens is and I don't wanna know

One always has to question the genuineness of that kind of criticism, it seems to just be bad faith or plain stupidity. How is working for the government any more slavery-like than working for a big company?

Ah, I see, what queer propaganda will be next? Picking your character's name?!

smh when countries do a slaveowner genocide and eliminate slavery. Why didn't those slaves just peacefully vote themselves free?

We're mainly waiting for you to say "Yes, I was wrong, Hexbear doesn't shill for Russia/China/DPRK and call them communist utopias, and I guess tankies is kind of a meaningless term.". I think that was the point.

"I want to remove our violent oppressors by any means necessary so we can be free and happy" - Bad violent leftist who ruins parties

"I knowingly sent material support for a genocide resulting in the deaths of 300,000+ people literally being gunned down in the street, oopsie doopsy everyone makes mistakes" - "Wholesome" "Nicest fucking dude"

ublock obviously should be installed on Firefox by default. But I seem to have a host of privacy add-ons that break few-to-no websites.

  • Privacy Possum , which blocks certain tracking headers/js. Privacy Badger by the EFF is an acceptable alternative but I've personally found it doesn't block quite as much.
  • NoScript Honestly my favourite addon of all time. You can operate in block-everything mode and just allow javascript/HTML5 from sites you trust, or if you're lazy then just operate in allow-everything mode and every now and then set crummy sites to untrusted (looking at you google tag manager). In block-everything-by-default mode, this add-on will break some sites, but the UI is so easy it's a couple of clicks to trust all the sites in a tab and auto-refresh.

Be warned - If you're not privacy conscious, you might cry from seeing the hundreds of sites that are running javascript on your machine without asking.

  • User-Agent Switcher Really easy add-on to just leave on and misdirect sites. Never caused me a single problem, and in fact is useful when sites (looking at you Microsoft Teams) claim they don't work in Firefox and refuse to load but actually work fine if you use this addon and pretend to be Chrome.
  • Sponsorblock kicks ass. 30 hours of ads skipped in half a year.

And my personal silly couple ones:

  • Wikipedia Vector Skin because I'm an old fuddy duddy and I like old Wikipedia.
  • Cat-In-Tab because I'm also an old fuddy-duddy that likes whimsy sometimes. This is just silly but I like it.

So you're homeless and starving huh? Why didn't you of just think of putting in a little effort? very-intelligent

Every person with this attitude was born with a silver spoon in their mouth or otherwise given all their wealth by knowing rich people. 99% of people who work devastatingly hard end up even poorer, me and many of my family members have chronic mental and/or physical conditions as a result of working too hard, and now we're still piss fucking poor as well as in pain and traumatised.

More and more I find myself becoming the old man criticising 'kids these days' for thinking they invented everything chomsky-yes-honey As I reminisce on the old days where all we had was some ASCII characters, a few special colour and formatting tags, and a /me to top it all off.

Liberals: Nice try tankie, but all of our leaders and popularised heroes commit genocide, so it can't be criticism smuglord
