Like, it was always kinda dumb, but at least its original point was coming from a good place. I actually do have some friends who have, since the election season and all, are now nervous talking to strangers if they need, say, directions or something because of assorted things they feel out them as a target. It's kinda nice that for a bit people were actually trying to find some decent symbol to show nice and clear they won't be starting poo poo or whatever. I'm gonna blame Etsy, every lovely 500 dollar gold painted pin I've seen has been from those assholes.

Hamilton is a perfectly good musical despite whitewashing a ton of poo poo about American history and the knee jerk reaction of nerds hating it after Hillary lost without having listened is funny to me. Did you really think the only people who liked it were the wealthy elites who could afford a scalped ticket?

I have some friends who are worse off then I am and very, very white, and love that musical But the fact alot didn't know about AH is kind of sad. While Paine is far better he defintley was one of the better founders.

Did you really think the only people who liked it were the wealthy elites who could afford a scalped ticket? This is true that it's a perfectly decent musical beyond the obvious issues of 'uh hey all these guys owned slaves and were pretty proud about it so it's kinda weird to have Hamilton be all 'heh you guys in the south do all your work with slaves' as a sick burn'. Oh Snapple! posted:I think they're the people who push it as even remotely significant, yes. This, however, is also true, because the only people who push it as some grand cultural cornerstone and do absurd stunts like 'we spent a poo poo ton of money sending students from a poor school to see Hamilton, no we didn't donate any of that to the school history program or anything' are people stuck in a bubble of wealth where this idea of being able to manufacture a cultural revolution is even possible, let alone is a good one. Hamilton is a good play, lin manuel miranda seems like a cool and genuinely sweet guy who is good at writing music. It's the turning it from 'oh, yea, this is neat, and hey cool of him to focus on a less known historical figure' to 'THIS IS SO IMPORTANT YOU GUYS, THIS IS AN IMPORTANT CULTURAL TOUCHSTONE WE'RE SHARING' that's very much the domain of the kind of people who think 'go see this broadway show, it'll change your life' is advice that's applicable to the majority of Americans. I say this as a huge theater nerd who fully respects and understands the power of theater to change lives, but granting a single play some near divine status isn't healthy or even fair to the play itself. If you go to Hamilton expecting some life changing experience you'll probably be very disappointed. If you go expecting to see a pretty solid play about a neat dude that has some historical issues in the name of telling a good story, you'll have a good time. Also I thought Alexander Hamilton was cool before the play so I get to be a smug history nerd about the inaccuracies in it. That has nothing to do with the wealth bubble it's just a sweet bonus.

I like him, he's not bad, but the ladies who play Angelica and Eliza were way better, too bad their only songs were about how bad they want that Hamil-dong or how the Hamil-dong ruined their life.

So wearing a safety pin is basically like going around telling everyone that you aren't racist right? Because that seems hosed up.

I don't like the phrase 'virtue signaling,' in fact I hate it, but the safety pin does seem like one of those things. But I don't get people who are really loving bothered by it or find it just the most hilarious though. Like who cares? They're just people. It's so much more funny when brands or w/e do this stuff
