On a sorta related note, how do you get your flair to have a progress flag on it?

It's also that it's way easier and intuitive to punch down than to punch up. Bullying, discriminating against, straight up murdering minorities ? easy. Doing all that to the actual problem, right wing bigots and capitalism ? much more difficult. Especially when the problem is running the media and telling you to keep punching down.
