A slower thread. Not that Biden does no stupid shit, but he does everything slowly.
And he doesn't tweet out every brain fart before speaking to his advisors.

I see Don Jr. is lashing the woke left for allegedly cancelling the Muppets. . . when what has really happened is that one episode has been withdrawn because it features convicted child abuse image possessor Chris Langham. It's as disgusting as it is laughable.
Didn't think it was canceled, just labeled.
So I googled.
"The Muppets have not been canceled. They have just been put in context. Disney added all five seasons of The Muppet Show to its streaming service, Disney+, on Feb 19.17 hours ago"
Btw, sesame street was also labeled, not canceled.
this is ridiculous. that stage was not made to look like an obscure nazi symbol no-one knows.

So what? Whoever designed the stage set didn't, and neither did you until you read that twitter thread.

You've got worms eating your brains.
The stage was designed by somebody at the American Conservative Union, which has well-documented links to white nationalists - maybe the higher-ups who signed off on the design didn't recognise the symbol but I wouldn't be surprised if there were some people involved in the process who were very familiar with it,
The Group Behind CPAC Has a White-Nationalist Problem
The Conservative Political Action Conference, which starts next week, has been touting its newfound diversity. So why is its lead organizer showcasing the work of a white nationalist?www.motherjones.com

If I were in the stage building biz, and a group notorious for its sympathy to nasty right wing bullshit turned up for a quote, I'm the sort of person who wouldn't be able to resist trying to troll them by using a fairly obscure RW symbol, just to see if I could "innocently" get away with it. That particular design would be ideal for the balance between plausible deniability and obviousness...It does seem a little bit Queen's EU hat and it all being an innocent coincidence is definitely a strong possibility, but it's not like it's so totally unlikely that the CPAC organisers might include white nationalists, and that said fashy CPAC organisers might be the kind of Death in June fan-type arseholes who would think that something like this was really clever and cool, innit?
Not sure that would be a very good troll to be honest.If I were in the stage building biz, and a group notorious for its sympathy to nasty right wing bullshit turned up for a quote, I'm the sort of person who wouldn't be able to resist trying to troll them by using a fairly obscure RW symbol, just to see if I could "innocently" get away with it.

I didn't say I thought it would be a GOOD troll...just that it's the sort of thing I'd be tempted to do. And, presumably, I'm not unique in that.Not sure that would be a very good troll to be honest.
Fair enough.I guess it's the fact that if you were in charge of building a stage for a far right political event and wanted to troll the organisers, designing something that would be a dog whistle to people even further to the right and yet utterly meaningless to almost everyone else seems somewhat counter productive.
Does seem to be the whole basis of Qanon though.
