I don't know what what's left of the mod team is doing.
I know Hat's busy AF IRL running a business (two, really), and I still bounce memes and politics off him from time to time, but I don't much know what the shit part of the mod team is up to, nor have I the inclination to look in to it.

We can't be fascists even though we're acting like Hitler's brown shirts and dressing like Mussolini's black shirts. We're called ANTIFA, it's in the name!
I understand that logic. The Nazis were socialists. It's in the name of the National German Socialist Worker's Party. It's in the name!
It's usually at that point REEEEing and seething anger gets directed my way.
Can't have female coworkers sexually harassed at work if you never hire any women.
