The Smirk That Launched a Thousand Tweets

On January 18th, 2019, a teenage Caucasian male smiled and the Internet exploded in understandable outrage. This video covers the media storm that ensued following a viral video of a teen boy wearing a MAGA hat smirking in silence in front of a Native American man. I discuss the chronological series of events as well as the backstory behind them and, as always, some of the psychology behind the slurry of hatred levied against the boys of Covington Catholic.

Aydin Paladin on how main stream media has first been lying and then getting very silent on the MAGA hat kid when truth came out.

Good to know that the  MAGA hat kid's parent is going to sue there lying arse off.

What was the kid supposed to do?
He couldn't leave that spot
while some professional inciters got up in his face.
The kid handled it like a boss.

The kid handled it like a boss.

He did indeed. But don't you know “handled it like a boss” is toxic masculinity and misogyny and lot's of …isms!
