Don't these guys usually scream about cultural appropriation until it suits their needs?
they were arrested for covering their face, they happen to be using a kufiya. yes, it's still a fash thing to do but let's try to be accurate.
- Covid's still very much a thing (bc petri dish-assed crackers refused to lockdown, refused to socially distance, and have made the complications of their Nurgle worship all of our problems after the fact); ergo, still a health reason, NYPD is still the most violent and unaddressed gang in Amerika
Not correct, he was arrested for breaking a ban. Were he wearing a keffiyeh for a religious reason he would not have been arrested. If he were wearing a mask for a medical reason, he would not have been arrested either. Break the law, deal with the consequences. Don't like the law, get it changed. Bitching about it on Lemmy does absolutely nothing.
- I don't believe shit you have to say about anyone who'd have a reason to wear a keffiyeh, Mr. White Power.
- just change the law bro its simple bro
- I love it when the government gets to decide what I'm allowed to wear outside the house
