This is where we're at now? Trying to deny that tiki torches are now associated with white nationalists due to charlottesville? For real?
Fake White Nationalists, a.k.a. "Boogaloo Boys".
Really. So "tenuous" that when the torches appeared at the calgary rally, everyone immediately thought of Charlottesville, to the point where the city council, mayor and all kinds of others made the connection.

OBVIOULSY people see a link between tiki torches and charlottesville. You know it. The torch idiots know it. And everyone else knows it. Stop playing dumb.
I see a link between tiki torches, liquid fuel and a police fear of getting burnt.
Define "that's a thing". It's a "thing" enough to attract national media attention.
Not even a remotely valid comparison. Pepsi is already everywhere. Tiki torches are not.
Stop playing dumb. Next you'll be saying "What's wrong with flying a swastika at an anti-lockdown protest? Who said swastikas are racist? They're ancient buddhist symbols".
Nobody is falling for these mealy-mouthed bullshit mental gymnastics.
This is why our side is losing. Hair-brained, poorly thought out "strategy" like this.
"Concession"?
I don't think you know what that word means.
The white nationalists appropriated the tiki torch at Charlottesville. They are now associated with white nationalism in the context of protesting. You can cry like a whiny cunt about it as much as you want. I'll never never change that fact.
WTF is this obsession defending the honour tiki torches anyway? Do you own stock in Tiki™ brand torches or something? Why the fuck are you even arguing here?
