Libs: "Look, if you fly a Mexican flag - you'll seem like you're a member of a foreign army that's invaded the United States of America. AND US troops will act accordingly. "

Protestors can wave whatever they want
Okay, shut the fuck up then
Look, people might not like to hear this but being a kapo guarantees citizenship.
"Ignore all those Israeli flags that their own politicians raise and fly in their offices" - That same asshole and all the lame-o liberals on bluesky.
That guy in Denver can claim he thought he was fighting an occupying force.
US troops should not be shooting at one of our closest and longest allies, actually. Libs being so hostile towards Mexico is really telling.

If some shitlib with ~25K followers was the OP - I'd feel some combination of anger, depression, and if I'm being honest - surprise at their mask slipping that much. But with my alt "fuck you" account - I'd tell them to fuck themselves and go on with my day. What else can you do? This feels different to me. Maybe I'm naïve but I didn't expect this sort of behavior from somebody like Kruse who has 100,000s of followers. He's surely in the top 100 accounts. Also - he's an ivy league turbolib history professor with a reputation to uphold.

When I made my new Bluesky "low key I'll talk to libs" account - I must have blocked 90+% of the accounts listed. I decided to not block Kruse because I hoped he'd give me "hopelessly lib" cringe c/slop content. I was pretty sure he would. I did not at all expect hatred and veiled racism.
I'll keep this in mind the next time I see a color revolutionary waving an AmeriKKKan flag outside the US.
It's a rare but fun occasion when we get to reply with "Tiananmen Square".
"the police and the military will attack you if they think you're a foreigner".
Really just saying it now, aren't we?
Everyone wants to feel like they’re involved in the decision making process until it comes time to actually do the thing required to get a seat at the table: attend a fucking a protest. Organizers decide. Internet nobodies don’t.
Also, everyone needs to have a "take"
everyone feels like they have to stake their claim even from a thousand miles away and with no power over the situation. People can't just observe and learn.Yes this is a major problem with socialist organizing in the west. Nobody wants to follow a party line, nobody wants to educate themselves and act in a disciplined manner, it’s like herding cats if all the cats thought they had come up with the perfect form of socialism that has never been tried before
Liberals never learn, they are only capable of being smugly condescending and quickly turning into fascists once the other side doesnt resist "correctly"
Obligatory take culture
go ahead. post another "take". tell me that eating hot dogs is ableist. say jackbox games doesnt center bipoc voices. accuse a famous person of grooming their younger spouse. come up with a woke way to say race mixing is wrong. call me gay for liking dessert.
So it's okay for American troops to shoot American citizens if they're waving another nation's flag, is that what you're saying Kevin?
Kevin Michael Kruse (born 1972) is an American historian and a professor of history at Princeton University.
He punches left. Because of course he does.

I think one of two things happens.
He's a gigantic, insufferable lib asshole but #1 is far better for him financially. He doesn't want to damage his rep, lose appearances on tv, or damage book sales, etc. I think #1 starts today. But #2 is better. It's so much funnier. I hope he's such an asshole he can't help but doubling down.

Quick, everyone wave a Confederate flag so the cops calm down.
I actually think giving out a shitload of Union army battle standards for these things would be pretty sick.
It's a good look
I don't know anything about Union flags and I didn't like the most common ones. For some reason I really like the shape of the swallow tail flags. I wonder why. I'm not a flag guy.
Like most tweets from liberals, it's pretty decent right up until the "but"
I thought their new strategy was to stop moralizing everything? Must be a hard habit to break
As we know, racism is very logical and will immediately stop if we just cooperate with them and stop waving foreign flags! /j
politely
It really is a hell of a post. He squeezed so much in it.

Foreign army: It seems strange to me he used more words and said "army from a foreign country". It's phrasing a non-native speaker might use. I suspect he has messaging brain. Maybe he actually thinks "army from a foreign country" is better messaging because it sounds softer or something.
That's gotta be the weakest way to claim that your opinion should be listened to. Anyone can write about protests. The fuck has this guy ever done except be annoying on social media and defend democrats
He's an insufferable lib who is a history professor at Princeton. He loves to say stuff like "I am very busy blocking people today." or "If you say __________ - I will of course block you." Gee, I dunno... Maybe the reason people dislike you (or hate you) is that you're wrong and you're a huge asshole?
Does your diary count?
Dear diary, today I got big mad because some people somewhere tried to change something by actually doing something. Also, I sent Ann coulter a note that asked if she liked me. I really hope she circles "yes"
