Reminds me of this excellent sign that I saw at the Tubman African American Museum in Macon, Georgia.

Piano, which once belonged to Little Richard, with a sign on it saying "Do not attempt to play Little Richard's piano. He will know."

Whenever I'm feeling low (which is increasingly often these days) I look up photos of the Voidz and laugh solidly throughout. They look like what an LA movie producer thinks a punk band from a dystopian future looks like.

Watching clips of Lewis Capaldi being a great bunch of lads online leads me to ask- How can someone that funny and charismatic make such tap water music?

It's gone. It's not reclaimable. It's a symbol of colonialism and racist hatred. Sticking a wanky little phrase across it isn't going to change that. Sticking yet more flags all over the place is going to make people feel further isolated by it though, and give the racists just what they want.
