It's very clever, but I've always felt it flies right over the heads of their viewers. Maybe that's a feature not a bug, who knows.

They're the same picture.
I don't disagree with you but I'd like to point out that many of the most marginalized people here are forced to work on the weekend, in the afternoon and evening, in order to serve the more privileged who get weekends off work.
Your link is broken. It just takes one click to get where you meant to go though.
It makes a white dude that's a real drain on society and his family feel superior, like he's winning. Don't make me whip out the Johnson.
You could flip it around and use your ideas to write a near future or current day alternate reality story.

In my state, which is extremely conservative, it is illegal to force a student to participate in the pledge. Most teachers are ignorant of this though so you have to bring it up when they try to make you do it. I haven't been in high school for well over 20 years though.
This was also the same time "In God We Trust" was added to all coins and paper money.
I had an amazing American Government and Politics teacher in senior year of high school, but I knew about her much earlier. She kept a file of print-outs of the section of State law which codified that no child could be forced to participate in the pledge. She was so awesome. I happened to just arrive at her class after the first plane hit on 9/11. I don't think there could have been a better place for me to be trying to make sense of that.
Incel culture has always existed it just didn't have a way out if its mom's basement without the internet.
It was really hard to process. I was about to turn 18. So I didn't know shit about shit, but I sure as shit thought I did.
A friend ran up to me in the hall when we were changing classes and says dude a plane just hit the world trade center. I started laughing, imagining some idiot in a cesna. He gave me an ugly look and walked away. I got to class and it was on the TV. Our amazing teacher was clearly in shock in retrospect, but she tried to guide us and we had a little discussion on terrorism and the US involvement in war in the middle east. We talked about how Bush was going to handle it.
We had only one conservative in class who was also loud out and proud gay. This was unusual for the time. He had a big personality but even he was quiet. I remember talking to a friend trying to estimate casualty numbers.
We watched the second plane hit and the towers fall live. Saw all the people jumping out the windows. The rest of the day is a blur. We got sent home early. I rode the bus home and watched live TV all night.
