Vox Media's food website says it's OK to throw milkshakes and eggs at people you don't agree with politically (what could go wrong?)

Eater, which is Vox Media’s food vertical, has a new piece up that says “throwing milkshakes and eggs has become the perfect act of protest”:

You see, the author of the piece, Jenny Zhang, thinks it’s totally cool to throw “milkshakes and other foods” at fascists:

What possibly could go wrong?

We expect Eater would have a different view if people threw food at people during, say, a pro-abortion rally:

What’s possibly worse is that Zhang ignored the vile history of “milkshaking” here in America. She writes:

Symbolic or historical resonance: In the U.K., “milkshakes have replaced eggs as the protest projectile of choice,” Dan Kaszeta wrote recently for the Atlantic, following a few weeks of non-stop “milkshaking” directed at right-leaning political figures. According to experts interviewed by the New Statesman, there are multiple ways to read into the milkshake as a symbol: an object of youthful fun wielded against bullying bigots; an “everyman” choice enjoyed by the masses; a subversion of the alt-right’s seizure of milk as a symbol of white supremacy.

In all likelihood, though, the first milkshake that was thrown — at Tommy Robinson, in early May, twice in two days — was simply out of convenience and spontaneous outrage. Sometimes, as Kaszeta wrote, “a milkshake is just a milkshake.”

Why the eff is she joking about this:

Some people even reported Eater for advocating violence, but Twitter did nothing. From “senior social boy” at Eater, Adam Moussa:

You’d think, but nope!
