I skimmed that this morning and was halfway surprised by how unsurprised I was by all that. If I were told that these fuckers dined on actual baby flesh, I'd probably have to pause for a few seconds before expressing skepticism.

If you're shocked by this, perhaps the nature of capitalism is not yet clear to you.

It's a total mystery—total, I say!—why Millennials are generally skeptical of capitalism and more open to socialism than any generation in decades.

Side note - you aren't too far off 100K posts!
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
