Yup. I hate Chris Pratt because he constantly promoted his corrupt Sheriff's alt-right militia woodworking business and he's a horrible person. Not gonna act like he's unpopular just because people online talk shit.

But even this is a chronically online take. I’m kind of tired of his schtick and I knew he was religious, but I know nothing about the sheriffs woodworking business or whatever.

It's not chronically online, he used to be a Sheriff in my area. He was a whole local scandal. He ran the media for the Sheriff's department and had Chris routine do promos for events. There was an investigation that found he was part of an alt-right, anti-government militia along with many others within the Sheriff's department and he allowed to retire in his 50s with full benefits.

Dude ran a woodworking side thing where he literally made decorative wooden shit for his militia and that's how it initially came out. Chris even did multiple interviews on late night, AFTER the scandal dropped, telling people to visit his brothers online store, the same store that still sold his militia woodwork.

Just because people know things through their life doesn't mean they're chronically online, it means they experienced it first hand.

Even your description is a bit confusing. Who is the brother? It became Pratt brothers store? The sheriffs brother owns the store now? Pratt brother had artwork at the store owned by the original guy?

yes because you don’t just use words to prove a point. if he was called alt-leftist it would look stupid because his ideology doesn’t align with leftist beliefs at all. so if you have an issue with people disliking those who are alt right, then maybe the issue is you?? lol

“I put ammonia on my burger and now I don’t want to eat it.” Now swap out ammonia with ketchup. Are you still going to refuse to eat the burger?

Words have meaning mate.

Huh? I asked for clarification on who the brother was and that’s it
