He is admiting he doesn't know. You don't understand that many other people other than you do not know.

Maybe some will if it's clearly a flag. This isn't a flag, though: it's a shirt with a vague color scheme.

Recognizing a flag there takes a step & a frame of reference. Again, you're just telling me it's clear from your perspective, which doesn't mean much.

For something to hit hard, it first needs to hit the audience it's directed at, which isn't you. If only likeminded thinkers it's not directed at think it hits, then it isn't hitting shit.

But sure: go ahead and discount an outside perspective telling you they're not getting this. Pretend it doesn't matter because likeminded thinkers in your echo chamber do get it, so of course everyone else should get it, too. That's totally valid reasoning & not exactly the way a fundamentalist thinks.
