turns out it was one goofy woman in Chicago, seems to me with possible mental illness issues as well:

.@OliviaNiland & I wrote about the woman in Chicago who went to an anti-lockdown protest with a sign bearing a slogan from the Auschwitz concentration camp. We spoke to the guy who took the photo. Some have accused him of faking it but he gave us proof https://t.co/19lyj4a1Je pic.twitter.com/O5mS7NzJyK

I dislike very much that media spends time feeding trolls like this. It's traditional for protestors to do the equivalent of trolling in order to get attention from the media, just like a p.r. person or similar to having a person in a banana suit hand out flyers. It's unprofessional to fall for it, not good reporting.

You have not been carried away.

The cognitive dissonance between "official" announcements and the pom pom shaking for anarchy on twitter is not just another proof of how goofy the POTUS is but a cause for harm that will lead to much death.

The real problem with conspiracy theories is that when the shit actually hits the fan, the channel cuts to another commercial.

After paying attention to some local news the last 24 hrs., I'd like to add the thought that there's also a long tradition of a libertarian, anti-government strain in NYC. Back to at least the early 20th century days if not more, with anarchists, free-lovers, Greenwich Villagers and the like.

What reminded me in particular: I noticed a lot of tribalist todo over photos of a lot of gay whypipple yuppie types not socially distancing and not wearing masks in Washington Square Park vs. the supposedly law abiding citizens of Harlem.

And I've also been seeing evidence of a lot of boomer borough types hoping all the millennial non-social-distancing and non-mask wearing yuppie scum in Manhattan and eastern parts of Brooklyn go back where they came from a few years ago...

And I've got to admit that "law abiding" is not exactly a long-term NYC brand.

Re: Trump encourages these people

Do you really think anyone using this website doesn't know that?

Do you really think anyone using this website needs to be told to vote against him?

Speaking for myself, I your tendency to preach as if participants at Dag are idiots with grade school educations they forgot is insulting to all the participants here.

You're leaving out the part that the usage of "work makes you free"by some protestors was unwitting, they didn't know it was used on concentration camps.They were ridiculed about this. It was extremely stupid, moronic. They didn't realize they were basically saying "we want to go to concentration camps."

Gov. Witmer on the protesters in Michigan

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) on Sunday forcefully condemned the racist symbols, including Confederate flags and swastikas, displayed by some attendees of an anti-lockdown protest at the state’s Capitol building last week.

Photos from the protest showed hundreds of participants crammed inside the building, many of whom were not wearing masks and flouted federal social distancing guidelines. The protest’s stated purpose was to demand Whitmer ease coronavirus restrictions in the state, though some protesters were seen holding up racist and anti-Semitic symbols during the event.

During an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union,” host Jake Tapper asked Whitmer if the stay-at-home order protests that have popped up across the country are in the same “vein” as the deadly 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, attended in part by neo-Nazis.

“Some of the outrageousness of what happened at our Capitol this week depicted some of the worst racism and awful parts of our history in this country,” Whitmer said. “The Confederate flags and nooses, the swastikas, the behavior that you’ve seen in all of the clips is not representative of who we are in Michigan.”

In reply to I have heard the mermaids singing each to each,

Most voters did not choose Trump.

Most voters think that the people showing up with assault weapons, Confederate flags, and Nazi slogans are insane.

We have to vote.

The voters in Wisconsin were willing to risk their lives.

We may have follow suit.

"Work Makes You Free" was the sign on a Polish concentration camp.
