The problem with Lefties is their ideas do not wither on the vine if you ignore them. They fester and then explode into public view when the time is right … like CRT, drag queens for kids, and gender fluidity, to name a few. So, yeah. It is necessary to speak out and expose the stupidity, before it can take root. You might be too lazy to do so, but some of us are not. Actually CRT has been around for decades without issue and not part of any public school curriculum and it's only the far-right's desperation in making it their go-to boogeyman to "own the libs" that made it anyone's "hot topic" today. The same goes for drag queens and everything else you guys enjoy whining about. As for laziness, yeah I'm sure that's indicated by not obsessing over random stupidity posted on the Internet for the sake of taking shots at the left rather than the opposite. Yes. CRT has been festering in academia for years. It started out fringe, and now Lefties are trying to indoctrinate our children with it. That’s exactly the point I was making. I’m glad you picked up on it. Everything isn’t about “owning the libs”, cupcake. There are legitimate concerns about the deterioration of our society. Too many lefties see it as a feature, instead of a bug. Others, like you, are willing to let it happen … and get all upset when people point it out.

Rightfully so. Has the design of the medal been changed? No it hasn't. And people can demand anything. I would like property of anti-choicers confiscated and donated to just causes. Like a penthouse appartment in Vienna for me. Doesn't mean it will happen. True believers will keep attacking and attacking until their complaints are accepted, then realized. For example I give you the Washington Redskins. I'm old enough to remember the 90's when the idea of changing the name was ludicrous and fringe, (in the 80's nobody even complained ) but by presenting themselves as mainstream they gained acceptance and eventually got corporate support, then forced a name change. Forced? LOL. From what I read on Wikipedia, they had plenty of names before Redskins (something with Boston), so the recent name change wasn't the first. Also, nobody from outside the club forced them to change the name; they did it because they wanted to. The same could be true for that British medal. I don't know if the design has been changed in the past; but if the organisation wants to change it now, they have every right to do so.

But it was the Washington Commanders who made the decision. After threats from sponsors. Sponsors who were reacting to negative attitudes from the public, the public who a couple of decades before thought a name change was fringe lunacy and should be ignored. In other words, exactly what I have been saying.

Your claims of a conspiracy would be true, if - and only if - the exact same people who didn't want a name change all changed their opinion. I doubt those in favor and against a name change are even the same people.

The point is fringe lunacy left alone to fester becomes mainstream, then powerful enough to force its will on others.

Yes, like plenty of ideas that were once considered fringe lunacy and are now considered mainstream. Like the Earth not being the center of the universe. Or modern mammals not been created 6000 years ago, but a product of million years of evolution. Or the right to rule over people not been a god-given right to a few select chosen families. Or all men been created equal. Fringe lunacy centuries ago, mainstream today.
