Culture wars = mostly bullshit distractions.

It's for emphasis.

There is no way this will end well. Mainstream news coverage is already unhinged.

Acts like this typically take Congressional approval. There is no emergency here, this is defending shipping lines. This is illegal.

The race mention is signalling the privilege displayed in the behaviour. We know that all kinds of people can be a bigot, but this ain't it fam. This stuff hurts both you and me. Men do need help, but that is not this conversation.

Hurt people hurt people.

Pickles on grilled cheese is the superior grilled cheese and everyone that says otherwise can go right to hell

I'm referring to class warfare. It's a nice gesture but not worth the media throughfare, especially as she asked for it not to be used. You can just do it and not make it a big fuss. There are better problems to worry about. Hyping it feels perverse. It should be done simply because it's right and she wanted privacy. I'm aware this is a bit ironic, but I don't think it should be such a wild thing to show a bit of respect to what the affected parties want. I suppose posting rhe meme isn't helping but I can't resist a good Cena meme.

Edit: I suppose I'm trying to say that the fact that this is a notable change at all is an indication of a problem.

When you work at a university the marketing department is always a meme.
