    How to trigger PTSD in non-whites just so you can “troll”.

    Also, don’t become a statistic of friendly fire in a “Bloody Kansas”.

    Please don’t wear this.

      If this triggers someone’s PTSD going outside will trigger them a bunch no matter what. Like respect is important but at some point you gotta factor in other interests like artistic/political expression. Plus if you constantly baby people with that kind of mental illness they won’t ever get better. And I say this as someone who has been diagnosed with PTSD.

        The solution to this mess is not simple, but it will not be to hide things that may offend people, to stick heads into sand or control speech.

        The very idea that someone needs to follow a “non-offensive” guide in political commentary is very much a part of how the us is in the mess it is.

          I stifled that thought earlier but yes

      Should we all stop wearing any red baseball caps?

      Genuine question, not really debating you

        I reckon brown shirts became less popular in the late 40s. Maybe we wait until 2028 to stop wearing red caps.
