In a particularly creative expression of anti-MAGA sentiment, a man who goes by the username “biz_dave” says he successfully trained crows to attack MAGA hats. As detailed in a series of posts on Threads, the self-proclaimed “big nerd” and “very part-time artist” stuck some tasty treats, including “peanuts, chicken scraps, mealworms, and dog kibble,” underneath a MAGA hat.

“Once they were coming regularly, it was only about three months to get them to the hat removal stage,” biz_dave wrote.

By "we" I am referring to the west. People who live in places with a history of significant Nazi influence, where the symbol is most strongly associated with Nazis, where anything sufficiently close to that symbol arouses the possibility that Nazis are being endorsed. I also don't have a problem with the symbol itself when used in other contexts, but that one dominant context makes it pretty suspicious in the general western population. So it goes.
