But I thought they were against building public toilets.
- Maybe they mean flaming crosses?
  
  That's just an interactive bathroom display. Get a couple well-hydrated friends and extinguish the flames together as a bonding experience.
- ... and my axe!
  better yet:
  ... and my feces
  
  You might pretend you don’t give a shit…
  But when you start throwing shit at them…
  Technically, that’s giving a shit.
Its a fucking farce. Way to go, america.
- This isn't all of America, it's just some of the crazy people who happen to be in power right now in the U.S.
  They've been doing this shit for decades, people outside the U.S. Just weren't as aware it seems.
  You should see how many confederate memorials we still have. These are memorials that commemorate slavers that fought for the "right" to own, beat, and murder people.
  It's always been fucked up here. This is a fucked up country, and for some reason a lot of you folks just took all the outgoing propaganda in, and now it's just one shocked Pikachu after another.
  Outside this weird Kirk chapter, there are some serious escalations taking place. This is just a distraction, though.
Holy shit they're going overboard
- This is the current play they’re running. Every single bit of this is intentional, purposeful, and has historical precedent.
  
  I really hate how everything the government does now has a direct parallel to something Nazi Germany did. Can we skip to the end of the story already
- It's most definitely a dog whistle.
  This guy was a racist, biggoted piece of shit. They want everyone to know this is what they stand for. They don't give an actual shit about Charlie, they just want their hateful views to remain mainstream.
MAGA: "Let's not take down old Confederate statues. Let's erect new ones!"
I'd be incredibly curious to see what happens when it's defaced and we get to remind republicans that plaques for Emmett Till have to be fucking bulletproof.
Anything to try and foment the violence they want so martial law can be declared
It’s ironic that he hated universities and thought they were a waste, but made most of his money from them and died there. What a weird cycle.
50th in education
Let them cast them from valuable metal, so at least they have a recycling value.
I work for a large southern university. I can’t imagine the chaos that would happen if they tried that here.
