Anti-intellectualism has been on the rise for decades and spelling gets worse? I am shocked I tell you!

Also: inb4 the "language evolves!" crowd arrives.

and GIMP dev actually planning to add shape tool.

Gimp's first version released in 1998. Do you find it surprising that people aren't impressed by plans to add basic tools after nearly 30 years when the competition has stuff like content-aware filling and automatic layer separation?

There are many valid arguments against using Adobe products, or for using open source editing software. Productivity and ease of use are not one of them.

Right, so in your version of this world, who is the fascist? Germany?

So for me it comes down to how long they stick to that narrative before admitting that maybe we weren’t exaggerating.

They usually never do. Just at some point they start declaring they always thought so, too.

They exist. They're just not recognized as comedians by those not in the cult because normal people don't see kicking down as humor.

Yeah so are about a thousand other people who worked on the franchise/product in question and may be very positive influences on the world.

Trying to deny a literal billionaire money is symbolic at best.

Rowling has enough money to donate to shitty politics for the rest of her life ten times over.

Attempts to "not support her" are about 3 decades too late and entirely irrelevant at this point beyond making people feel good about themselves. She doesn't need your support nor even registers it.

We're talking about the world's first and only writer to become a billionaire with her books here.

There's about a thousand and one other people involved with the franchise after 8 movies, 3 spinoff movies, a play and a dozen or so videogames.

Rowling is pretty much irrelevant to the fandom and people aren't into the HP stuff because of her.

Yeah you just can't be in a server room anymore without some dude trying to sell you on Office365 and Cortana, sigh.

Not really. But you know, gotta find ways to feel smarter than other people so here we go.

Well for one, most of the nazis stayed behind.

People not realising this is what's so baffling.

Narrator: The left did not, in fact, get everyone’s basic needs met because it hasn't been in power for nearly half a century. And incidentally, every time it was represented in government there were major strides in "getting everyone's needs met".

Don't believe me? Do a Google search for "most liberal/leftist US presidents", click any of these listicles and try to find the most recent leftist president. Notice how there isn't a single one more recent than 1969?

For most of you reading this, the last actual leftist government predates your parents' birth.
