No I'm really not. One word implies you're nearly hysterical with anger about something, the other implies you find it repulsive. You can be disgusted by smelling a bit of food that's gone off, but you wouldn't be outraged by that smell alone.
Outrage doesn't imply hysteria.

definition - something that is grossly offensive to decency, morality, or good taste.
My use of the word is acceptable in the context. You're splitting hairs.

Make a post every time he garbles his words?
You did when it was Trump. This thread has been super quiet since he left office, and it's not because Biden is doing a fantastic job, is it?

I got better things to do with my life.

If you're a criminal and you don't care that others think that makes you a bad guy, that's a character flaw, not a strength.
Has Trump been convicted of a criminal offence? If not he's not a criminal.

I could just as easily say you're taking that attitude because you disagree with our politics.
Except I'm not actually taking issue with Biden himself, rather the apparent hypocrisy of giving him a free pass for things that Trump got hounded for.

More whataboutism. If your best defense of someone is that "others are just as bad," that's no defense at all. It's basically giving up.
It's funny you use this word seeing as you're guilty of whataboutism yourself. But you do have a point here... others are just as bad, so I do just kina give up caring. But it's funny because you earlier said you have better things to do with your life, which implies you too have given up caring.

I don't want a PM who's going to rob me to make his friends rich.
Neither do I, but unfortunately I live in the real world, as you do, where you have a PM who makes his friends rich at your expense. And that isn't going to change. It's been the case since you came to England, and it will remain the case long after Boris has left office.

And I don't want a party in charge that's going to fuck the whole country's economy over so they can make a few bucks from disaster capitlism.
Nor do I, but again, corruption is rife and part of politics. I'm not going to change it moaning about Boris, or indeed any other politician. All I can do is refuse to vote for them and call people morons for voting them into office. But at the same time I have to respect the democratic outcome of elections because it's better than alternatives.
Quote:
So, you've given up. Fine. I haven't.
Sure you have. You said yourself you have better things to do with your life. You gave up caring about the POTUS when Trump left office. You'll give up caring about Boris when he leaves office. The only question is if you'll give a fuck about who replaces him.
