I only learned that some people don't from the Mastodon thread - it's slightly disorienting finding out how differently other people's brains work. This, for you, might be like the day I realised that aphantasia was a thing a

I have a 50" Philips screen with no smarts. It's great.

You're leaving out the endorsement of noted racist Tommy Robinson here, whose raison d'être is to foment racial hatred. If you're married to an immigrant, I would have thought the end of the slippery slope would be as concern
