    The coup has everything to do with you hypocrite libertarian assbags blubbering about speed limits, separating trash, and a nickel tax on your candy bars.

    Some people are able to look at a topic without thinking "But how does it let me bitch about Trump?"

    I swear people like you give him unlimited free advertising. :jayzus:

    No it doesn't. It has nothing to do with the bullshit you're trying to use pretzel twist logic to tie my political beliefs to.

    Communist regimes all got there through Medicare, and gay rights.
    Not violent uprisings at all.
    Ever.
    It was the Medicare and homos.
    Say the Desantis approved history books being printed up.

    obvious strawman is obvious, so of course you get laughed at.

    and dude, American history ain't much better a lot of the time. I mean, y'all got a top rated reality show out of a gulag in Arizona as a zenith to the prison labour system.

    and how (not too mention, why) do you think that bare minimum separates you from the rest of us?

    If I didn't want people to associate me with Trump in the political memes thread I simply wouldn't post Trump propaganda in the political memes thread. :clyde:

    Note: this poster recently stated that states trying to force other states to deport free members of their societies into slavery were in the right to do so.

    You lost your "interpret him charitably" privilege a long ass time ago.

    I have questions.

    Is this referring to stupid shit? Like, when Karen sees a black guy get into a car he owns and then calls the police and says she just witnessed the guy stealing a car? Or when a marginalized person is just existing somewhere and Karen calls in a marginalized person "looking suspicious?" Yeah, that kind of stuff is dumb and people shouldn't do it.

    Does it mean never under any circumstances call the police on a marginalized person? If so, what should I do if a marginalized person tries to seriously harm me? What if I see a marginalized person seriously harming or about to seriously harm another marginalized person? Should I call the police then? Should I do something else? Should I do nothing?

    Play Judge Dredd like George Zimmerman.
    Large swaths of America, including juries, think this heroic and romantic (in the painting sense).

    That seems like a worse idea than calling the police, not a better one. I'm looking for better ones.

    I mean, I don't want someone to be murdered by police for doing something like trying to steal my car, but, I don't want my car getting stolen either. If there's an option that lets me accomplish both, I'd like to know.

    How about, if I tell them to stop trying to steal my car and that I'm going to call the police, but give them a few minutes to get away first? They won't be there when the cops show up, so probably won't get murdered. But, the police will be looking for them so they're less likely to be out trying to steal cars.

    But, I'd still be calling the police, and the flier says not to.

    I imagine Walls Down would tell you the rare instances to involve the cops, and switch you over.

    Due to the way my dumb brain processes text and other visual information, I processed the white box at the bottom as a separate thing from the top of the flier, and because it's a picture of a flier wrapped around a pole, the text in the white box is distorted and very difficult for me to read.

    At first, it appeared as though the flier was just telling people to stop doing something the flier maker doesn't like, as though that ever accomplishes anything worthwhile. After managing to read the text in the white box, I discovered it was actually a flier for an organization offering to handle certain situations without murdering anyone, instead of leaving it to the police, who might murder someone.

    I like this. This is the kind of thing we need more of, instead of what I originally interpreted the image as.

    No idea what the handwriting says though. I'd guess it's either poorly worded criticism of the flier, or poorly-worded criticism of the police.
