I’m surprised that’s still around. Is the average age still 14 on these networks?

Crazy. North Korea throwing poop. China going on an axe rampage. Which asylum will take those two please?

Given this reaction, he seems to be doing something which is working.

What people do for media attention…

Physical shutoff via relays is required by the standard. We’ve just been through a scandal where a manufacturer skimped out on putting them in and had to recall the devices.

In the general public I don’t think it’s pure xenophobia, but in large parts a fear of not being able to communicate. The behavior they expose then is almost indistinguishable from xenophobia and for the receiving person in no way better, though when a foreign looking person is able to communicate, most hesitations will fall away.

I know that this is obviously not applicable to 100% of the population, but so is the other belief. There are obviously also die-hard foreigners hating nationalists, as in every country.

New money laundering scheme?

Some other critter would evolve to take their niche. Not sure how long that would take though, but eventually there would be other insects which will annoy you.
