    Can this be the comment under which all of us ignoramuses gather? I can’t name 2 from anywhere outside my own country. Where’s my (h/b/thimbo) crew at?

    We promise to continue to bask in the light of all of you who can answer this question at all, let alone those of you answering with 10+ countries’ politicians. Your knowledge of what is actually happening in the world is fucking impressive, you are cool as fuck, and we will strive to be as awesome as you someday.
