    Couple of public buildings and businesses have em up, I saw one on an actual house. No one really gives a shit. I guess the problem is when you make a society so everyone is too scared, exhausted and isolated to do stuff you dont want them to do like look into socialism they are also too scared, isolated and exhausted to give a shit about stuff you do want them to care about.

    Also, there are too many immediate problems. Apparently a quarter of social workers are gonna be or have been using food banks. Nurses, teachers etc... that entire strata of people who are used to doing OK and even well enough to be thinking about buying a starter home are relying on charity for food. Rents going up, fuel and electricity and the government is handing out several k just to stop a decent chunk of people going bankrupt. Supermarket shelves are beginning to look sparse too, fruit and veg especially it seems like every time u go to the shops there's a buncha stuff they are out of.

        Yeah exactly. There's a reason why apart from a few hopeless chumps the only ppl genuinely that upset about the queen were 60 plus. It's the high tide mark where our society went from passively allowing capital to erode social bonds and create anomie to actively promoting it.
