Hotter take: Framing it as someone other than a middle class white guy is simply hiding the fact we're a patriarchal, white supremacist country.

In socially empty suburban hell there's basically nothing to do BUT radicalise one way or another.

It seems to be specifically upper class white males who specifically glom onto the establishment and hope to join the chattering class as servants and entertainers of the wealthy, along with a careful allotment of wealthy nonwhites.

also the reason somebody vandalized that particular statue is presumably because the nurse in that iconic photo was basically just grabbed at random by a passing sailor without warning

it's effective vandalism that's 100% on-message
