    As a European, I just can no longer follow the political discourse in the States. Whether in the form of memes or news - you can’t be serious.

    It’s funny because endocrine-disputing chemicals dumped by humans really are messing frogs up quite badly, but now you can’t bring it up without people getting the wrong idea about your political views…

      I was listening to radio the other week when they were talking about companies dumping chemicals into British rivers. The effects that they were talking about sounded awfully familiar to anyone who has ever heard Alex Jones open his mouth.

      They’re actually putting chemicals in the water that’s turning the frogs gay! (kinda…amongst other things)

      You know you’ve fucked up when you’re making Alex Jones sound sane.

        But that’s how Alex Jones scam works, he read the frogs gay headline and then started ranting about how the global elite are trying to destroy masculinity with hormones in the water because only real men vote right…

        the thing is , what you’re trying to imply the bad part is.

        “They’re putting chemicals into the water” > this should stop because it’s pollution being done as a cost cutting measure.

        or

        “The frogs are turning gay” > being gay is bad, that’s why we should stop people trying to make things gay on purpouse to stop homosexuality.

        The top one is sensible, the bottom one is psychotic

          Nothing wrong with being gay. Gonna have some population problems when everyone’s gay.

          That said, it’d be an interesting novel.

            right, which is why putting chemicals in the water that turn the frikkin frogs gay is an example of something bad due to pollution.
