    Indigenous folks understand protesting for marginalized people, I’d wager.

      I’d wager in this case you are wrong but unfortunately nobody asked them as per usual

        I don’t understand what has you so upset about this. El Capitan was not defaced. The flag is no longer there and left no lasting traces.

          I’m just pointing out that it’s not the place for this and I know I’m right

            There is no right place to people who don’t like the message, and that’s the only reason for your opposition.

              I have no problem with the message at all.

              Reminds me of the time runescape did a pride parade and everyone got mad because we are there to enjoy a game and escape from this for a bit, not because we oppose it in any way.

                define “this” precisely and choose your words carefully

                not because we oppose it in any way.

                Forces of oppression are composed of self-deception, lay your core values bare and let people decide for themselves.

                You have no problem with the message except that it exists.

                Just like your only problem with trans people is that they exist.

            There is no “right place” for protest. You’re arguing for the status quo. Protest is supposed to make people uncomfortable.

            “I know I’m right.” That’s childish talk.
