This story was 2 years ago? Is that what the top part means? I guess if reddit rounds up that makes some sense for people to say the "slava" thing. No non-Ukrainian would be saying that in Jan 2022. Otherwise, if it's more exact, that's a month before the conflict began (Feb 2022).
In any case, this feels like it could be real, but little touches like people saying slava ukrani sounds like made up shit even if post-Feb 2022.
Smells like those Zionist cry-fests where they say they "fear for their lives" because of all the "antisemitism" and then we always find out this just meant someone said Israel is a genocidal shithole.

went and looked it up, the post is timestamped Tue Apr 12 2022
EDIT: checked the web and AltJ did at least play there on Apr 11 2022

Just want to say that those meatbags ‘just following orders’ and not thinking for themselves is exactly how this invasion started, and I feel ashamed to be called a “free” American when I hear stories like this. I hope they didn’t ruin your evening, and I hope you know that there are far more Americans who would proudly wear a Ukrainian flag with you.
God I fucking love reddit lmao

The virgin flag wearer vs the Chad flag smuggler

Just wrap the flag around the flares, it's not that hard

This the Alt-J Show at MSG we clown in this mothafucker
Take your comfort blanket ass back to Peanuts

Most places don't allow flags. Partially because they block other people's view when you wave them, and when that view costs hundreds of dollars it tends to lead to confrontation
-
At least there was one person in the comments pointing out shit about Bandera, and wasn't down voted to fuck. Honestly surprising

Ok, driving to MSG "all the way from NJ" is stupid as hell because 1. It's not far at all, "I walked all the way across the street" cool, bro. And 2. NJ is littered with trains, they are very easy to connect to nyc, where you'll be dropped off at Penn Station aka RIGHT BENEATH MSG, WHY DID YOU DRIVE DUMBFUCK, IT'S MORE EXPENSIVE, PAIN TO PARK, AND TIME CONSUMING
-
As a resident of NJ, I LOATHE anyone from this state who chooses to drive into Manhattan. They're the reason NYC has to institute the much needed congestion pricing and they still have the gall to complain that it's a violation of their rights.

Policy must have changed since 1939

Hypocrisy??? Where is the hypocrisy? Like let's just take a step into the alternate universe where Ukraine really is the poor smol bean oppressed country being bullied by big mean russia for no reason. They still said any flag would get people treated the same way including the flag of the country they're currently standing in. I mean I guess you can say that's a lie and that if it had been an american flag they'd have been ignored, but until somebody tests that there's no hypocrisy in this story lmao

I couldn’t bring a backpack into a Nebraska Cornhuskers Football game in 2014 because they told me terrorist could be targeting football games.
-
I couldn't bring my purse in. They charged me money to store it. They just do it to keep people from smuggling food in

When I saw alt-j in concert shortly after the invasion began, they put up a big Ukraine flag and paused in the middle of their lead single to shout "Fuck Putin"

Virgin alt-j vs. Chad Wolf Parade (wolf parade’s singer has been on Chapo and is Ukrainian diaspora in Canada who fucking hates banderites and spends all his time exposing Banderite-Canadian government collusion)
-
ah what; to be expected i suppose
-
-
I love that the boyfriend was gearing up to go into debate mode on them. Karen and Kevin just being your standard libs.
-
Alt J fuckin sucks that was a waste of money before anything in the story even happened
-
These dorks deserve to be bullied relentlessly
-
On the one hand not allowing any flags or anything "political" is a totally absurd rule, on the other hand this person seems somewhat insufferable
-
Damn I was so prepared to hear about some mayo-ass cracker eating MSG and having their Assistant Language Teacher - Japan experience ruined :(

As someone who attends music events in New York frequently, the primary concern the security guards care about is that you're not bringing a gun into the venue. Secondary concern being hard drugs, depending on the venue and act. Msg definitely does not want drugs. Thinking that the underpaid and overworked security staff has a political agenda is absurd when they already have to deal with your bridge and tunnel antics.
Although MSG is owned by that guy who used facial recognition cameras to ban one of the lawyers suing him from attending an event there. Very funny little dystopian anecdote.
Security staff are a subtype of cop. A lesser cop. But they have the brain worms
They literally asked if it would be the same for an American flag and the person said yes.
Apparently they're committing a hate crime against literally everybody.
Or they're cool
Putler hates America so it makes sense why his agent would prohibit the flag
Putin's KGB runs security at MSG. Putin personally called MSG security himself and demanded the couple not be let in after seeing them on the live security footage with a Ukrainian flag.
Putler is so petty.
