@seungjin

there is no "instead of"

there are american flags and mexican flags in the protests

media and social media trolls with agendas will only show the mexican flags and omit the many american flags

they do this to manipulate the story

by your wording i fear your initial impression has already been touched by their manufactured optics

this is what they do: get in front of a story with lies and misrepresentations to touch your perception

@benroyce @seungjin

i've been to protests with no american flags and i will tell you why

because, to a lot of us, that flag represents this government and its oppression, not the people

@matildalove @seungjin

understandable but the point is to reclaim the symbol, not cede the symbol of a nation to the fascists

nonracists like punk music. racists like punk music. because racists like punk music means you're going to stop listening to punk?

don't let evil coopt things which are not automatically theirs. it did, or should, stand for something else
