Context: the Thin Blue Line is symbolism for the role of police in maintaining public order. It has been co-opted by the alt-right. There is also a Thin Red Line to represent nurses. The French Wikipedia happened to use it in a legend to explain what the red lines on a map mean.

    … if you look at the legend, and click on the image for the red line, that white rectangle with a red line links to a file that is named “thin red line for nurses flag.”

      OK but that description seems totally harmless if you don’t follow US politics. And even then, I knew about the blue line for cops but had no idea about the red one. Are we protesting nurses now? Is it a COVID thing?

        … seems like the editor just picked a random image with red line on it without thinking further

        🤦🏽‍♂️

          You do know you can use words in addition to emojis right? I have no idea what you’re quoting and what you’re trying to say.

            Fucksake. I’m pointing out that every one of your comments, at the time of their posting, we’re already answered by comments above them. Using emojis seemed a gentler way to convey this, but clearly a more blunt instrument is needed with you, friend. 🤫
