Because ignoring this shit is what got us here in the first place.
Yet they're always mysteriously absent in threads about really obvious racism.
They're part of the problem.
Guys, don't you know that calling for equality is just as bad as practicing bigotry? You're oppressing the oppressors and that's bad :(.
Unironically posting Joey Salads prank during which trump supporters kicked him out? It's like you're not even trying, or actually delusional.Relax guys, it's just a hat. /s
EDIT: delete this please, I'm not too proud to admit when I'm being inflammatory. Sorry.

To some people, that hat is like a Nazi symbol, the confederate flag, or a KKK hood. Obviously you wear that hat, you're trying to get a response out of people.
Good Night Left Side is a white supremacist slogan
This is Arthur Jones, a nazi
This is one of the guys who beat DeAndre Harris
We all know that punchable face
But it's just a hat
While I agree the phrase has negative connotations, equating it to the genocide of millions of Jews is a bit much.
It's just a general statement. Forcing ANY agenda is oppression. If a person's goal is berate you (in other words "holier than thou) into thinking what ever you say is wrong and they're right, it's oppression. I will not oppress you by saying that I'm either right or wrong because I do not have an agenda. I'm not the one calling for people's head for wearing a ball cap (you aren't either, I know). There's something very wrong about that.
THAT IS THE MOST PUNCHABLE FACE I HAVE SEEN IN A LIGGY LONG LONG LI LONG LONG LONG time.
OP really should have mentioned the man's race in the title, that's what makes this story stand out the most.
Saying if people are right or wrong is oppression. Do you consider the Civil Rights Movement oppression? Women's Suffrage Movement? The 13th Amendment?
It really doesnt
Wow. This was already a purposefully obtuse post, along with all the other garbage ones like it.
But man what a difference 3 minutes makes.
Maybe you should stop telling the people who Stan for the genocide of millions of Jews to stop equating it with the genocide of millions of Jews, and not people with basic observational abilities.
Funny story, you will never find a nazi wearing a hat with Wiitold Pilecki on it. Just saying.

You know there's much cringe ITT that I can quote ridiculousness for days but that would turn disruptive, I need a break.
I'm still fresh from the Thug Life Doormat Outrage topic, I need a break. It's morning, time to start the coffee and take a shower.
Yeah I agree but quoting yourself would be a bit weird.
I just don't understand what anyone is asking for specifically. If you all hate the hat so much, then go make people take it off and see how it works out for you. As I said earlier, fistfights aren't nearly as grand when you're in one. I think some just like the idea of going on a forum to talk big about how they'll set these folks straight irl, which I can't see most people here actually doing (and I don't blame them).
I don't disagree with anyone hating the hat, but ultimately, you're going to be in the wrong if you go start some shit. Personally, I'm not taking my chance with cops today. I think most people wearing the hat are ignorant, but I'm not going to let it fuck with my job or even fuck up my day. It simply reminds me of why I get out and vote dem each and every election and encourage those close to me to do so.
I was actually kinda torn because, while its bad to generalize, MAGA hats are usually worn by assholes that oppress other minority groups. So idk what position to take.
But apparently there arent any sources? What?

The old "I got caught let me politely show myself out". Did the poster you quoted oppress you with his sense?
that poster PMed me letting me know he was gonna ignore me for not using punctuation and he's talking about cringe
But what does the Anne Frank Center know compared to Resetera user Phunkydiabetic
Thank you for all the hard work you do combating outrage culture. You deserve that break.
This here, this attitude, is truly the one that people will have to ultimately take. As it's been shown with this scenario, flipping out and getting rowdy will only be detrimental to the person acting that way.
Lundren leave poor FeatherCoin alone, they need to wakey wakey first before having a intelligent conversation.
I don't know, but I'd love to read an article or something which highlights/talks with his minority supporters.
People talk a lot about semiotics on here. Which is fine, it's important.
But the thing signified here isn't absolutely defined, it's way more unstable than a Klan hood. Unless it is widely understood to connote the things people on here are saying (White supremacism, ethnostate) then you aren't really correct saying that the people wearing this hat embrace the same ideals. Cause they probably don't make this association. I personally don't make this association and I hate Trump (WRT the hat, I see protectionist economic policies and anti-PC. Stuff I don't agree with but not the same as KKK).
Meaning of a symbol comes from the way its commonly understood. But the hat signifies lots of different things to different people. Some of these things are racist. Many racists have embraced the hat, use it as a dogwhistle. But they don't own it. It's simply not true that it's on the same level as a Klan hood or the Nazi Swastika.
Possibly when time has passed and history has had its say the red MAGA hat will mean exactly these things to a majority of people. But right now it does not. Stuff like this isn't helpful for allowing the 'other side' to build up a fairly convincing narrative of victimisation. Like the 'deplorable' gaffe by Hillary during the election. Not worth dying on this hill, let them wear their stupid hat. They may come to regret it later anyway.

That hat represents a lot more than just political beliefs. Dehumanizing minorities is not a political belief. Suppressing the free press is not a political belief. Standing for white supremacy is not a political belief. Criticizing prisoners of war is not a political belief. You don't get to pick and choose what a symbol like that means when it has this much truly despicable shit associated with it.
I'm not ever going to advocate for violence against people. But you better be prepared to catch a lot of shit if you walk out of your house wearing that bullshit.
If you support Trump you're either a bigot yourself or you're okay with them running amok because you don't think you're affected. He had his chance to denounce white supremacy, to declare he doesn't want the support of neo-nazis, the kkk, (neo?) confederates, etc. The best we got out of him was "there are bad people on both sides" as he works actively to eject as many minority non citizens here on asylum as he possibly can, break apart as many families as he can because they're brown, and enable police brutality against minorities. We all know just what that hat and that slogan symbolize.

I don't think they did anything illegal, it says they just yelled at him.
One could argue that the hat itself is the unacceptable statement, not the response to it.

Motherfuckers catching heat for wearing fucking hats now? Lol I love this shit. Let the heat rise until it burns everything. Fuck peace and fuck America
after a quick search this is all i could find really

I don't necessarily disagree with what you're expressing as a whole. But we're long past the point where people wearing that hat and sporting Trump gear get to say "I'm not a racist. I don't support racism!"
They are either bigots in line with Trump or they accept bigotry as a necessary consequence for seeing Trump try to accomplish whatever else it is these people support (tax changes & cuts, for example). Neither is acceptable.
My point is it shouldn't be treated as one here. The right for a free press to even exist is supposed to be inherent to this country. As long as the first amendment exists as it does in the United States then no American should be treating the suppression of free speech as a valid political belief. Am I making sense?
it should be treated as shameful radical nonsense in america, i agree
Meh.
If people want to be a martyr for a cause, so be it. It might not be the short term best action, but it's good for society to not tolerate racist bullshit like maga.
So yes, it's understandable that the company fired them, but good for them. Hope they find another job
You don't have to accept it and move on.
If people want to confront them, good for them, even if it's to the detriment of their employment.
This shit while common should never be normal.
No? Or rather yes they should. I did say I loved this shit didn't I?
i love the guy who just lays it out and keeps calling him an idiot,
im not even sure exactly what the MAGA guy was there for, can someone explain?
