You can say this has nothing to do with the historical doctrine of ‘Manifest Destiny’ and the destruction of Native societies. However, that makes you an ignorant asshole.

Fuck you Mark McNairy. Fuck you Gap.

I’d presume this was done out of ignorance or thoughtlessness and not malevolence, and/or that it was perhaps intended to “reclaim” the phrase “Manifest Destiny.” I’d argue that phrase isn’t Mark McNairy’s to reclaim. Or the Gap’s, for that matter. And McNairy’s history of printing provocative and rude stuff in unexpected places suggests it might have been intentional. Bummer.

Gap Reichstag!
