    it stands, it’s a symbol tightly connected with systemic oppression

    Oh, the irony.

      As I belong to a group outright killing which Islam considers fair game, I don’t find it particularly ironic.

        He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself. - Thomas Paine

        You don’t get to call for systemic oppression and then complain that you are being systematically oppressed. Well, I mean, you can. But I’ll just roll my eyes and quote Paine at you.
