Choosing between the patriarchy and losing their blogging gig, and therefore their Brooklyn apartment, they find themselves, suddenly, very flexible.

I mean, I guess I’m a cynic because the only thing that shocked me was the fact that so many people seemed to believe the sincerity they preached about tolerance.

I notice you didn’t list any morals or decency. Gawker Media seems to be out of that lately.

No, giving options.

Then you are either:

No, you keep trying to imply anything other than shouting from your keyboard is an impossible, quixotic quest.

You coming out against Joe McCarthy next month?

It is what you’re sayong.

What you’re saying is that you don’t want to tackle anything until it is tottering and nearly dead anyway, You’re saying it makes you feel good to attack easy targets, because the big ones will always be out of your grasp, and this bit of social salve can sustain you. A sigh amongst the people as they cry out for…

See? Called it right before it happened.

Aw, you posted dozens of comments because you’re just casually passing by? You’re trying to get a last word in on ten different people because...what the hell?

So you’re admitting that you pick this because it is an easy target, that allows you to essentially do nothing but join a mob chorus. The actual work that it would take to change something that is relevant daunts you, so even though the US flag represents all the things you claim to be outraged by, you’re okay with it…

You seem to be missing out that Native Americans pay taxes. That we have charged other countries fees for our bases in their country so we can fly them there, that people who have had relatives killed in other countries or were pressed into the service of this country pay taxes to fly the US flag.

Again, those things don’t erase one bit of the blood and genocide wrapped up with the US flag. You’re outraged by the confederate flag, but “meh” about the one that is directly attributable to worse, no, MUCH worse atrocities.

So, the same reasons that we should take down the confederate flag...don’t apply to the US one?

What flag was flying over on the side of the Enola Gay? On the B52’s over Dresden and Tokyo. What flag flew over Cambodia, Saigon, Wounded Knee?
