“Curfews! Troops in the street! Violence!”

It’s astonishing that amid the biggest domestic news story of the past decade we continue to be subjected to this feature.
Enough’s enough.
And it always gets the long format so you have to scroll past it forever to get to the next post.
What exactly is that flag header image supposed to be saying in this context? The original with the nazi flag underlying the blue line is very clear and pointed. This isn’t making a statement about how police are… secretly tabloids somehow(?), it’s only taking something that’s current and shoehorning it into a series of shitty posts to be cute. I don’t really get it.
Pleeease let this silly feature die. It just feels like it burst out of a time capsule from the 80s labeled “Chuckles from the Laugh Department”
I’ll admit it, I used to hate this feature and just ignore it, but now I always stop by to read the comments. Does that make me an enabler?
