IMO, identifying the IDW as fundamentally about growing polarization/SJW influence/etc. narrowly misses the mark: that w/ the mobile web, institutions lost the ability to redirect narratives arbitrarily & started compensating by pandering to "thematic truths" ever more recklessly https://twitter.com/jonkay/status/1142970381583704064 …

Symbols derive meaning from their referents. If you wore a shirt saying, "wetbacks and towel heads go home," the response would be the same. So yes, it's a property of the man. If you wear that hat, it means you support the violence against your neighbors that he is enacting.

I want to be clear, here: you're saying the fact that I might get physically hurt for wearing a hat is a property of a man in DC, mediated by the fact that a red baseball hat means I support violence against my neighbors? Curious.
