dystopia is when you limit your child's exposure to pornography. wtf

No joke has ever been improved by explaining it straight after but that's a little bit harsh

Given the conspiracy theorists' general alarm at new world order, one world government type scenarios it's a wonder he isn't pilloried for this by the same mad bastards who advocate for him instead. Maybe he is and I just haven't kept up
