Oh I’m sorry,

Have a hamburger and a Xanax.
Everything’s fine.
This is all normal.

our veins full of plastic

when Iranian women can do OnlyFans
to pay for boob jobs and butt lifts
and go to Capitalist Heaven when they die.

It's not okay to be a grown adult and believe US military interventionism to topple a middle eastern government will lead to peace and harmony. If you believe this, you should be shouted down and shunned like the scum you are.
