What’s all this about? White supremacy, obviously. There is literally no other explanation for it.

Except for, you know, the obvious one:

These kids are playing the circle game?

They can’t help themselves.

Are we really going to have to relearn about the circle game every 6 months? I also had never heard of it until the West Point story in 2019 but now that we know it’s a thing can we just remember it exists? https://t.co/St4MJB7dCW

We’re not sure how people like Alex Mann live anywhere, what with their delicate sensibilities.

Be careful with your hand gestures, they say. https://t.co/K82nUv68tk
