> It's the <1% of those "woke" digital people who will gun you down

Eh... no, I wasn't talking about anyone "gunning you down", the linked article is. I was just talking awkward conversations and getting the side-eye for working for the country's #1 douche.

I mean... yeah the 1% issue is likely bigger now, but this will blow over. Your buddies who think you sold your soul to the devil for a couple bucks will be around for years.



I have a red hat that says "make Orwell fiction again" on it that I haven't worn in years. Most people will either grumble to themselves and ignore it or read it and realize it's not what it looks like at first glance. I'm still not dumb enough to wear it on the Boston subway. Your buddies might think you sold your soul but they also aren't gonna dump a coffee on your or sucker punch you.


I like the ones that just say "Made You Look".


Jeez, I want that hat!


Going rate seems to be about $20 (and if Amazon isn't your thing I bet Ebay and all the other usual suspects have them too). If that's worth it to troll people IRL is up to you.
