Finally, laws against hate speech will serve to prevent whites from complaining about this, as any white person who complains will be arrested, given a long prison sentence, and made an example of for the rest of the remaining white population.

That’s some masterclass trolling.

"radical centrist" - what the hell is a radical centrist? Like the line feels like trolling and it's in the normal article

I think there were definitely some rage bait crumbs left behind in this screed as well. Like the line about how the left combating misinformation is somehow "Orwellian". Transparent, but in this political climate sometimes it's hard to tell if people really do believe this shit or not.

Trolling as an art form is dead because people like Elon Musk and Donald Trump, who have too much power and influence over others, are either too gullible to know that difference between someone who is serious and someone who is trolling, or willfully ignoring that fact and amplifying the message anyway to serve their own ends.
