wear a mask and dark shades to stay anonymous and stand in quietly in back then. the trick is numbers. you don’t have to heft a sign and chant slogans and be a spectacle if you don’t want to, you can just fill space and it will still help.
80% of Americans are propagandized tools.
one of several U.S. Jingoism days on our calendar. we also have:
President’s Day
Memorial Day
Independence Day
“Labor” Day (lmao)
Veteran’s Day
all of them are about MURICA FUCK YA and little else.
are you fucking kidding me?
they aren’t fucking 1960s batman villains y’all, you’re doing conspiracy-brain shit.
the stripes are not in “red white and blue” order because the blue stripe would disappear into the blue background. anyone who’s ever taken an art class past grade school should realize this.
either a) it’s a coincidence and the designer was not thinking about the Russian flag
or b) it’s intentional with the above plausible deniability built-in so they can watch you throw a fit over it and chuckle among themselves about trump derangement or whatever dumb shit.
either way it doesn’t mean anything and the most you should do is roll your eyes and focus on actual things of consequence.
at best you’re sounding the alarm over pareidolia, at worst you’re taking the bait. either way you’re helping them to flood the zone with extraneous meaningless bullshit.
put down your clutching-pearls and go organize with your community, this is useless.
absolutely, especially if there’s a car behind them. can’t back up, can’t move forward, all they can do is watch you walk across the hood. if they get out, simply run - they’re not gonna abandon their car.
i don’t give a shit either way but it makes far more sense that it was in protest than that all of those soldiers are too incompetent to march properly. insisting it must be incompetence because you want to think bad things about the us military is the real cope.
blue in the middle makes sense because the background is blue, if it were on top or bottom it would be practically invisible.
i want to believe but your source is an image of text devoid of context. where did this figure come from?
edit: dug and found it! source is alt national park service and it appears to be based on activist headcounts!

yeh the first time i watched that show i was like “oh my god theyre democrats!” and its only gotten truer
You don’t get too much further left than Tim Walz.
yeah i’m sure you have informed and insightful things to say and engaging with you will be very productive. get a clue. 🙄
iirc “no shirt no shoes no service” was originally to keep out impoverished black people, and was later revived to keep out hippies. it’s not a law most places, it’s a store policy.
it’s not OP’s problem that you aren’t literate enough to process things outside of a false binary.
ITT:
-> normal people understand this is a gentle reminder as we celebrate Israel getting punched in the mouth that there aren’t actually any good guys here
-> absolute jackasses frame this within a false dichotomy to criticize OP, and then 'splain false dichotomies to the rest of us like we’re stupid.
no a straw man is where you assign a position to someone that’s weaker than their actual position and go ham on that instead.
like this asshole bloviating about OP being pro-Israel when OP didn’t say or imply anything about Israel in the post, and has made it clear in the comments that that is not their position.
except OP didn’t say anything like that, and the entire comment is this user pointlessly beating a strawman just to stir shit and provoke infighting. don’t be a yes-man for that shit.
“I don’t care for chocolate ice cream.”
“OH YEAH WELL WHY DO YOU LOVE VANILLA SO MUCH? YOU KNOW BOTH OF THEM ARE BAD BECAUSE SUGAR RIGHT?”
bro it’s hard to take you seriously about “nothing is black and white” when you began your screed by asserting a false dichotomy and assigning OP a position on it that did not express, implicitly or explicitly. that’s a thing fascists do. it’s not only dishonest and disingenuous, you’re flipping an ally into an enemy and turning solidarity and awareness of queer rights issues into infighting to the detriment of our entire movement. be better than that.
yall a generation ago phones were tethered to the wall and you physically couldn’t take them with you. they still managed to protest.
leave. that. shit. at. home.
it’s so low information voters might see it and go “well at least she’s anti-war” before ignoring news for six more months because they “don’t like politics”. then they go to the polls because it’s their “patriotic duty” or whatever and the only thing they know is she made anti-war noises that one time.
