Its also been defended multiple times in court that you can burn the flag in protest.
Honestly i think it desecrates the concept of the flag more when folks use it as 90% of their wardrobe.
Yeah, people very conveniently forget those parts of the flag code all the time:
No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations.
The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard.
I'm pretty sure Mihn is confusing the US flag code, which is just the official protocols for how to respectfully display the flag, with actual laws.
the flag code is an actual law
they just don't try to enforce it because most of it is really obviously unconstitutional

There's a lyric in the song Cowboy where Kid Rock says "they told us to leave but bet they can't make us" and it always makes me think he's like...bragging about getting kicked out of a Wendys.

I have to give credit where credit is due to Kid Rock, he (or rather, his media team) are being proactive in not inadvertently creating a campaign of targeted harassment against a judge.

Consider this your official notice to knock that shit off.
The only part of this tweet that's wrong is the word "justifiably" because neolibs disingenuously using identity politics to continue their "woke capitalism" and then doing everything to crush the poor is absolutely isolating and a breeding ground for fascism. If you don't realize this you better start realizing this because Steve Bannon's been on it for years.

Describing games like Depression Quest or Gone Home as "woke capitalism" seems pretty off base to me.

To be clear. Neo libs absolutely love capitalism more than their own ethics almost as much as they like to feign giving a shit about human rights. Out of context that tweet is pretty spot on, which is why context is important
Yeah I mean I can't recall goobergrape being mad about any actual mainstream games, it was pretty much all indie games made by women, queer people, and PoC that were ruining everything because Kotaku acknowledged they existed

Which is why I didn't do that? Neoliberalism is the performative act of co-opting social justice and civil rights movements while pushing for austerity that often ironically systemically crushes marginalized groups. It's best summed up by this picture of Pete Buttigiege.
I mean how the fuck could Depression Quest even be capitalist? It's a free TWINE game played in a browser. That's part of what made the alt-right anger at it so stupid. It was literally costing Zoe Quin money.
yeah, they later got mad at people Anita Sarkissian "infiltrating" AAA games but the initial blowback was against indie creators
Anyway, saying that the people of Gamer Gate "had some points" is dangerous fucking talking and is up there with people who still beat the drum that it was about journalistic integrity

Everything about that tweet is wrong. It's also important to point out the declaration,
"neolibs using identity politics to continue their "woke capitalism" and then doing everything to crush the poor"
has nothing to do with a tweet about gamergate, or that groups actual relationship with feminists.
Neoliberalism is a economic policy/philosophy completely capable of promoting the interests of large business over the interest of the average or impoverished individual, without ever connecting the dot to feminism.
The Clintons have economic policy that largely benefits corporate shareholders and the wealthy, and that sucks.
The fact that they would push for public policy for equal wages for women, or access to birth control, family leave, etc. isn't a negative, simply because they also have shitty economic policy. You would be foolish to say, The Clintons are reason for why there were misogynists.
I'm using The Clintons as an example of a neoliberal, but you could literally pick anyone.
Gamergate, an online deeply misogynistic harassment campaign over the awarding of a independent game award to a free twine game developer, has no bearing on neoliberalism.
They can't use the mere existence of shitty economic policy as an excuse for sending death threats while doxing personal, sexual and professional information of a marginalized game developer.
TLDR
The tweet suggests the fetishization of feminism (virtually indistinguishable from publicly being a feminist) is the basis for the growth of gamergate.
Misogyny is the basis for the growth of gamergate. It would be an even worse situation on that specific front, without even the section of neoliberals who happen to be feminists*, with economic policies we disagree with, who have used their positions of power to set up state laws around doxing, push for platforms for victims- ultimately pushing their collective weight for the tone of what is and isn't mainstream.
*there is a distinction here because there are absolutely neoliberal misogynists who participated in that harassment campaign

If anything, gg'ers were claiming that indie devs and journalists who they deemed to be "collaborators" were subverting capitalism by giving attention to games that--in their minds--would not otherwise deserve that attention.
Like, the core of the initial lie was that ZQ bribed someone with sex for a good review. That is not a lie based on frustration with capitalism. That's a lie based on anger that someone may have "cheated" and not done capitalism properly.

Decades of neoliberalism fostered the environment right wing grifters like Steve Bannon and Milo needed to grow GamerGoop.
It was then weaponized against the likes of Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian.
