Does Takealot Support Fascism?

Dear Takealot & CEO Federick Zietsman,

All Choked Up

Well, their soup is pretty choked up with bigots now, alright.

It's orange and reeks of poop. They're going to need a whole new bowl to get rid of the mess.

Just another way I tried to warn them over the last few years - but nobody really pays attention much to writers anymore, do they? What do we know? We only research and study history and can more easily recognize bullshit artists when we see them.

It's out of my hands.
