No... thats not right. The whole point is that exceptions aren't made, dont prejudge people. It doesn't matter the appearance, clothing, symbols, or whatever. We judge by thd action and fruit. Judging on any appearance is always making assumptions... and assumptions make an ass outta me and you.

I have a red maga hat for posterity. I wanted to wear it while riding by bike to see the reactions i get with people but worried some people might throw shit at me... and thats fucked up I cant wear it with out fear of violence. And no im not maga...

Literally every time I hear the "actually if you read between the lines what Jesus meant is..." trope it turns out that the person saying it is exactly the sort of person that would wear a MAGA hat.

You cannot 'ironically' wear a symbol of hate.

I'm not against having a maga hat as a relic, since it hopefully has historical context if we still study history in 10 years, but wearing it endorses the movement regardless of your intent.

Maga people will see you wearing the hat and have no context. They will see the hat as validation, even if you're just doing it for the lulz.

What you consider a "symbol of hate" -the red hat- is only seen as that -a symbol of hate- by a relatively small group. And by comparison a group at least as large as the "red hate haters" are a group that see the red hat as an expression of freedom.

No... its not even a symbol of hate. But you have been convinced otherwise. And im not hoing to argue. Carry on

Mate symbols do exist. If I wear Nazi garb I can't complain when minorities treat me suspiciously. That's not an assumption, that's me directly communicating my thoughts and feelings with them through my attire. Wearing message based clothing IS action. It's telling people that you endorse the message, that you endorse the hate.

By your own definition you are maga. You show support for the message. You normalize that message. You take actions to show your support and intimidate others. That's all action my friend.

What ever you want to believe bro. Yern idiot.

Wearing message based clothing IS action.

Lol no... maybe if you are a super sensitive loser.

By your own definition, your a loser and I would kick your ass. Lol. Its hilarious the only way you know to frame me is "maga". I am far from maga. But please, continue to make accusations that show your incompetence.
