Where did Nero live again? Also worth noting that orange mussolini and the HF are poorly copying the OG of all this. Weird take, bruv.

If you’re reading this from outside the US, I’d suggest lest time mocking us and more time studying the fisher price version of warning signs that your government is building infrastructure to quell civil unrest rather than moving full steam ahead toward universal basic income.
