We just say "manager."

You've literally only read 1984 and Animal Farm, haven't you?

I guess I did, huh?

I love Orwell but I would honestly trade his entire body of work for never having to hear this sort of crap again.

Glad I turned off that pile of sophomoric crap before I got to his bit, then.

I dunno, at this point I think I'm more likely to encounter a unicorn than a grown-up libertarian who isn't actually a reactionary fuckstick.

as an added fringe benefit, it looks like the TPP will allow pharmaceutical companies to sue governments for subsidising their products. Can't wait til Australian allergy sufferers have to remortgage to buy an Epipen like you guys 0_0

The difference is basically how proficient at memes they are, and whether or not they're bothering to use the dog whistles.

As opposed to?

Sorry, I must have mistaken you for another absolute cock.

My genuine apologies. I guess I haven't encountered that level of hyperbole about Doctor Strange specifically - more a pervasive low-level scepticism giving way to pleasant surprise in the wake of its actual release.
