MAGA Hats And The Easily-Triggered Left

[glorydaz]

this particular thing is new - as Stripe's shown, it's been popularized fairly recently by the New Zealand national rugby union team, the "All Blacks" - i had to look it up too

but the form is definitely familiar - one guy out in front leading the rest of the crowd in a sychronized movement - instantly recognizable to anyone who remembers pep rallies from high school imo


heck, in a couple years they'll all be doing synchronized "take a knee" along to chants of "hands up don't shoot!" :chuckle:

I kinda like the sumo thing. :chuckle:


Talk about getting your adrenalin going for a game!

He lost whatever respect he had earned when he accosted a bunch of high school boys for his political agenda.

i was looking up the planned agenda for the "indigenous people's march" and they were scheduled to go right through where the boys were standing, so there's that

on the other hand, all the indian-sympathetic reporting says that there were "thousands" of people attending the march, so it begs the question of why Phillips and his band of four or five chose to break away from what was purportedly the main crowd of the march

or maybe that was all bullcrap - the pics i've seen of the indigenous people's march show a couple hundred at best


meanwhile, nobody's talking about the roughly 300,000 people attending the Right To Life March

quelle surprise

Be careful. Elderly wise Navy SEAL Indian will come and kill you with his fully semi-automatic drum of racial justice.

or your refrigerator, at least :chuckle:

 

[ok doser]

:doh: don't know why i didn't think of this earlier

did a search on "maga hat symbol of" and struck paydirt

... MAGA hats have become a potent symbol of racism...

...the MAGA hat ...is imbued with a symbolism that’s divorced from complicated ideologies. It’s a declaration of intolerance...a symbol of hate...The hat is PrejudiceWear™... It’s a marker of Trump’s vision of white supremacy...this generation’s Klan hood...

...seeing a young, white man in a red MAGA hat smirking a smirk drenched in centuries of white privilege, toxic masculinity, and entitlement—that triggers the hell out of me....That red hat, and any other apparel bearing the slogan “Make America Great Again,” has become a symbol of hate ...a racist hate symbol ...your hate symbol is my trigger...

...'I am triggered, I'm so triggered' by MAGA hats..."This 'Make America Great Again' hat is just as maddening and frustrating and triggering for me to look at as a KKK hood...
...MSNBC Claims Anyone Wearing MAGA Hat Is Looking to Fight...the MAGA hats... just by wearing one you were “inviting” a “confrontation...The hat in some ways for many of us a kind of racial animus...

wow - the internet has turned suddenly against Phillips, hard

 

[ok doser]

Nathan Phillips is a liar, not a victim


Native American activist Nathan Phillips has violent criminal record and escaped from jail as teenager

 

[ok doser]

:doh: Leonard Pitts :nono:

...the boy in that video, smirking, trying not to laugh, is not startled or confused. He looks, rather, entitled and smug. Indeed, what gave the image its initial, visceral power was the sense that his expression was one we have seen before. It was on the face of an SS man as he cut off a rabbi’s beard on a Warsaw street, on the face of an Alabama state trooper waiting at the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Heck, it was on the face of a hulking high school boy as he prepared to dunk a smaller kid’s head into the toilet. It was the eternal expression of the bully at the head of a mob....

amazing :nono:



and Pitts reports a new lie from Phillips, one i hadn't seen before, one that is easily disproven from viewing the video (not that that matters to the insane):

...The crowd, (Phillips) said, parted to let him through. All except for the boy, since identified as Nick Sandmann, a junior. Phillips said the boy blocked him when he moved left. When he moved right, Sandmann did the same.... https://www.salisburypost.com/2019/...f-students-captures-nation-at-breaking-point/

 

[ok doser]

The CNN anchor (cuomo) expressed disapproval to those who “consented” to the hats ...Lemon then joined in (and) criticized the Covington students for wearing the MAGA hats....“The MAGA hat carries a certain connotation that provokes a conditioned reaction from many people"...

 

[ok doser]

....“The MAGA hat carries a certain connotation that provokes a conditioned reaction from many people"...

aka "irrational people"

the implication from Lemon here is that rational people should be sensitive to the pathological responses of the irrational, constantly be aware of their presence and constantly strive not to offend them

sorry, not interested

and if those pathological responses of the irrational include fomenting violence, invading privacy and calling for the murders of children and their families?

expect a knock at your door, nutcases :idunno:

Being American Indian, myself, I was ready to jump on the "smirker". Then after reviewing all the tapes, I realized my error. So, please, don't tell me there are two sides.

There was no hostility from him.
And
It was a situation that was a lot longer than just a few minutes- all the videos shows is the highlight moment of him doing his magical drum chant thing.

It wasn't aggression, and frankly it's annoying that I even have to sit here and argue something that is so plain. Everybody is acting stupid about it and it's gotten old- time to face reality here.
Those kids weren't just innocent bystanders, the Right wing have just up until now managed to make every person with a Maga hat look like sinless, angelic martyrs and are trying SO DESPERATELY to maintain that here.

Those kids weren't just innocent bystanders.

What did they do that was criminal or immoral?

would you have had any reaction to it if none of them had been wearing the hats?

do you think the story would have caught fire the way it did if none of them had been wearing the hats?
