The concept of east is a liberal hoax

Pretty sure if I worked for 6 months w/an alt account I could get Fox News consumers to believe the concept of ‘east’ is a liberal hoax.

Like, literally, the other three points of the compass are real but east isn’t. Oh, you’ve travelled east? How interesting. Please provide proof. Just honestly curious.

Here are 48 consecutive articles from newstruth.factprank.ru showing that what you call ‘east’ is just a combination of north and south. Oh, so SCIENCE says there’s an East. Convenient for them. Follow the money. Of *course* GPS works on 3 points of the compass. What do you think 3G coverage on your data plan is? Lol.

Here I am spending $14k to fly West from Des Moines to Chicago to trigger the libs.
If China is the ‘Far East’ why is it WEST of us? How interesting. I’ll wait.

And so it continues, with increasing hilarity.

  1. The first thing that comes to my mind is the timeless quip:
    “Rosencrantz: I don't believe in it anyway.
    Guildenstern: What?
    Rosencrantz: England.
    Guildenstern: Just a conspiracy of cartographers, then? ”
    [From Tom Stoppard's play, "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead"]

  2. As the last one points out, last time someone tried that kind of joke...

    Let's just say that Buzz Aldrin had to start punching people in the face.

  3. Why did Americans head west? Because it was the only way to go.
