        I don't understand how kneeling became an American left symbol? So one guy kneels to the flag at an NFL game and suddenly its a symbol of resistance but when a cop does it on the neck of a black man nobody thought to think (hey maybe this whole kneeling thing is too similar to what happened with Floyd?) Maybe taking a knee is bad idk?

          when Kaepernick kneeled it was during the anthem to contrast with standing with your hand over your heart

          kneeling sans anthem doesn't even read as a left or resistance thing to me, but maybe I'm not up on mass media

            Its all theater to me, Kaepernick was trying to make a statement but kneeling became the new pledging, every lib was virtue signaling when they did it and now its been co-opted by libs like every cool thing black people do and its lame now.
