Wise person: “Those who do not know history’s mistakes are doomed to repeat them.”
Actual Nazis: Great idea. Let’s burn some books.

But I’m scared of Monad transformers and lenses. Can’t I just use elm? Elm is so perfect, so pure, so very very pure. And so pretty. And so robust. And so instantaneous to compile, and with such helpful error messages. Come to me, haskell programmer, you’ll never want to leave. Never leave… Always elm… Lovely lovely elm…
You can tell that they find the answers absurd and the WAT memes are universally funny.
I’m not versed enough in that industry to speak authoritatively on it.
In the tax avoidance industry? No, me neither.
I’m not sure why you lend such credence to stuff churned out by people with such obvious and clear self-interest in the assertions they’re making. “Grown-ups taking over running the country from incompetents and disaster capitalists spells trouble for the filthy rich who may well leave the country” is such a well-worn and nakedly self-serving line I don’t know why you take it so seriously. Like, their whole thing, literally everything they do is to reduce tax for the ultra wealthy. Of course they’re not going to be keen that the economy-crashing “reduce taxes at the top end” party are leaving government, they might have to work even harder than before to exploit a shrinking pool of loopholes. I lost my tiny violin, so I’m all out of sob-story music for them.
So plenty of FUD from a firm that… Helps wealthy tax avoiders avoid tax. OK.
Don’t judge others.
Love your neighbour, and this means anyone in need, especially ones from ethnicities your nation shuns.
Look after the poor, the widows and the foreigners.
Pay your taxes.
But seriously, number one and number two are love God and love your neighbour, according to Jesus, and he got really really cross about the religious leaders making up all kinds of rules for everyone else to follow, and for making the temple all about the money.
He also said that you can’t love God and money.
It’s just not a very Republican kind of line of morality, you can see why they’re rejecting it.
Putin’s stupid little poodle.
Trump is so stupid that he has no idea how stupid he sounds.
It’s definitely freedom. Freedom for Conservatives to tell everyone what they can and can’t do in their own homes.
But better public support for a month than erasure.
I vote for not giving corporations shit for one of the few positive things they do. Honestly, I worry that this backlash against corporations supporting LGBTQ+ people is actually often being pushed by homophobes.
Maybe it’s shallow and maybe it’s not very long lasting, but at least it’s public and positive.
Cohen did time as a first time convict for pretty much the same stuff, only less so, but no, I don’t think Trump will do time.
Just a reminder to our American cousins that in British English, trump means the noise an elephant makes but also to fart: “Sorry I trumped.” Donald the Trump is a noisy noxious unwanted thing on the world stage.
