    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

        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

          Well, Germany didn’t have literally thousands of nukes (that are meticulously maintained and definitely do work, as opposed to Russia), and also didn’t have the strongest military in the world by an order of magnitude, so I am pretty fucking concerned about what “skipping to the end” would imply at our current juncture.

    I work for a large southern university. I can’t imagine the chaos that would happen if they tried that here.
