That couple who climbed to the top of the Empire State Building to post a flag with a bumper sticker slogan on it are just narcissistic cringe
I keep seeing people talk about how poetic and "iconic" this couple is especially since the dude proposed to the woman up there or whatever and I just....
Does nobody see this as a self-important nothingburger of a stunt (other than the physical feat of climbing up there)? The banner read “When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace.” Wow bro, quoting Jimi Hendrix, how totally not cliche and trite.
And then they start posing for the cameras because you can't "protest" war if you don't look like an influencer.
I can't afford healthcare but atleast you and your girlfriend put a Facebook status on a flag and then made it about yourselves. Glad you're getting your 15 minutes because THAT is what's important.
It's really giving 2020 performative activism from two people who probably have matching Harley Quinn/Joker tattoos and it's emblematic of the main character syndrome that is prevalent in social media.
