Something is afoot.

I only have hatred for one human and that Jeremy Clarkson.

Many years ago, not long after the MHxxx flight when missing, Mr Clarkson was on a flight on posted a picture of the fallen oxygen masks on his flight with some comment about I hope we don’t crash. This was shortly after it was determined what happened to the plane.

I made a comment on Twitter as a reply saying that’s not cool. To which Clarkson replied saying how am I supposed to know when I’m on a plane dummy, even though he just posted to Twitter from the plane.

What proceeded was thousands of messages from his fan boys calling me a loser and such. Which is confusing as I would argue the losers were the people defending this clown.

I'm sure that he is not the only person you hate.

Why would you doubt me. I’m pretty chill and don’t tend to hate or hold grudges, as those only affect me so what’s the point.

Although, JC I can’t get past for some reason. He’s a cunt.

Ngl, you are giving off major "WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME HIT YOU???" vibes between these few comments.

If you really are a "chill guy," then show it, don't tell it.

Not Hitler, not Stalin, not Mao, not even General Butt Naked. Jeremy Clarkson. That's the guy who deserves the hate. Yep.

General Butt Naked

I thought it was some meme but it's a person that exists.

[–] LordGimp@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Not only do they exist, but they are directly responsible for an entire generation of child soldiers. Possibly also ate children. Depends on who is telling the story.

Not Hitler, not Stalin, not Mao

Be extremely angry at three guys who were dead 40 years before you were even born

Give a climate denialist with an enormous following of wealthy car-loving elites a pass

Find a little room in your hate for someone with a bit of relevance.

Most of those fellas are dead. No point wasting energy on them.
