My new rule of social media: Unless I know and trust the person or the organization making a post, I assume it's worthless unless I double check it against a person or organization I trust. Opinions are also included in this rule.

Hello fellow Western capitalist nation citizen, it is I, a relatable friend colleague of David! David will vouch for me, what a capital guy!

So, me and the boys (David's idea, you know what he's like) thought it might be pretty radical to scooby over to our local air force base and take some cool photos of us doing kick flips with their buildings and infrastructure in the background.

We think it would look totally tubular and really show those capitalist pig dogs (who we outwardly claim to love otherwise the secret police present in every Western nation will disappear us and our families, something we deny, but other nations with better intelligence services who don't lie to the great people of their glorious nation educate their populace about) what we think of their money war machine.

Oh! And then we can up post the photographs immediately to TikTok for the klout points!

What do you say, are you in, Breve? David said you'd be in.
