Criticism like this annoys me! Somebody is courageous enough to go out to protest and people criticize them for not doing it right. Fuck that. It’s such counterproductive mainstream Democratic Party thinking. ā€œIt plays into Republican bullshitā€ If there were no Mexican flags, Republicans would be photoshopping them in and showing them on Fox News just the same. They are racist fascists and whatever anyone wants to do to stand in their way is awesome. And fuck CNN for devoting space to this stupid piece. There are Marines and National Guard illegally deployed against Americans! That is the only part of the story that matters. Stop it with the clickbait bullshit and do your jobs. (none of this is about @mariamaria who posted it!)

Right? I myself had mixed feelings about this but I also think it’s pertinent to show those perspectives, not to comply to their desire on how protestors should portray themselves, since they’re pretty much treating it like its a performance, when in reality, people are fighting for their lives, but rather for people to be aware at the extremist ideas that are taking up space in such places considered mainstream, which I think plays into the normalization of fascist discourse, having it be disguised as ā€œjust sharing everyone’s opinionā€. I should have clarified that previously (sorry), but instead I originally included one of the paragraphs that talks about the tendency to caricature war by antagonizing flags, which evidently gets displayed here because of the trivialities they get into in that same article :(

I like having a historical record of the shows I've been to, and I'm sad that many places don't do physical tickets anymore. How do we fix this? Does anyone know a guy?
