The Atlanta Airport is full of left wing propaganda and messaging

I noticed that there was a huge uptick in messaging about Human trafficking around 2010, and it all disappeared around Jan 2021.

Similarly, Silicon Valley is no longer on a collective screeching rant about 'Climate Change' since they learned they'll need enormous data centers to survive their future.

When we get back home to Georgia after one of our company trips out to Montana we'll frequently walk the entire distance to baggage claim from whichever terminal our gate was at. A significant portion of that walk is dedicated to the continent of Africa insofar as decor and messaging goes.

Atlanta has been a lost cause for several decades at this point. Between 1979 and 1981, 29 young black boys (adolescents) were murdered. Everyone was looking for the racist white man who was out killing all these young black children. There are still people around here who are upset that the murderer, Wayne Williams, didn't fit the narrative they had offered.

It's not all race-based any more though. They'll take up any "progressive" cause that is detrimental to the well being of our society just so they can wear the banner of social justice warrior for completely contrived offenses across the board.

Does anyone else fly through there regularly and notice all of their messaging?

My wife just went through there, on her way to Portland, this past Monday.

She called me with the exact same observations.

She said it was all in Concourse B, and then on the tram, and then all the way through Concourse D on the way to her gate. She said it was mostly stuff on the digital billboards and that there appeared to be more NGO sponsored activist stuff than actual product or service related ads.

Apparently Clear Channel Airports manages all that stuff there ... she had a conversation with someone about it in the Sky Miles Club who had also noticed it.

Leave it to Atlanta.

I'm just happy not to see that twatwaffle Mayorkas' mug on the screens by the CLEAR and TSA lines anymore.

I pay whatever is necessary to avoid that hell when I fly.

Been there for years walking on the way to terminal A

The Culcha is strong in that airport.

Maybe you could provide an example or two?

They've got a nice mural to Sherman...who burned the countryside and city to the ground in what would widely be considered a war crime in modern times.

This is what I was about to post. They honor Sherman in their history of the city exhibit.

It’s Chocolate city my friend.

Still the best airport in America in my opinion

Only people that connect in ATL, not fly out of ATL would ever say this. I sure loved the security line wrapping around baggage claim and out on to the arrivals drop off, over and over.

No need to take down an aircraft, just clack yourself off in the TSA queue. Only ORD comes as close in terms of being dysfunctional getting through security, but even then it is a huge improvement from ATL.

I also loved the thunderstorm delays that happened every summer. Sitting on the ground, but ground personnel can't be out on the tarmac, so everyone just sits where they are.
