    Hopefully she has a good support network of supportive classmates (At least a few came out to defend her by the sound of it thankfully), knows she did nothing wrong and that these are just sad, angry people who want to feel powerful.

    At least she won and the lion's share of the mural will stay where it is , even if they edit out the "mask" or whatever to unfortunately satiate the chuds.

      They're completely delusional followers of an evil religion who will violently impose their religious delusions on everyone around them using whatever means they can bring to bear.

      Wait… are they talking about the mask on the pig which is a nurse? Do they not know nurses regularly wear masks?

      Evangelicals will leap on anything even remotely exotic or unknown to them and loudly, viscously denounce it as Satanic. There's no logic or reason to it, except in so far as they can use societies tolerance for religion as a weapon to expand their influence and hurt more people.

      Hamsa hand and the small devil-looking mask, which to be fair is a devil, but kids like video games it’s not that crazy

        The mask actually looks like a radioactive teleporting dog from Homestuck.

    How many of these shitheads even have kids in this school? Like for real more and more I just want leftists to go to these meetings and shout at these people "do you have any kids in this school!? No?? Are you a pedophile!? Why are you here!?"

        There's a reason LGBT kids are so vastly overrepresented among the unhoused in the US and it's these kinds of "people".

      Serious question: Do I need a child to go to these meetings or can I just say "I care about how society's children are educated even though I don't have one?"

        I think you just need to live in the district, but they don't necessarily enforce that.

        Matt Walsh rented a basement room to go to a school district meeting and speak against trans people.

          Renting an empty basement so you can get closer to children :ancap-good:

        If you live in the district or have family with kids then ngl you would be fine given that chuds just show up unannounced, be prepared for the cops to focus you down more than the chuds though.

      What really sucks about this is that we're stuck playing defense

      These monsters can just show up anytime, anywhere and make whatever deranged accusations about whatever they want no matter how detached from reality they are and other hogs will back them up

      Could be anti LGBT, could be CRT, could be some satanic panic bullshit or anything the fuck else

      The point is these shit stains are going there to pick on kids and they can always do that

      We can go to school board meetings preemptively to be ready for them but we can't always be there and even if we do show up at the right time in the right place, how much can we do? There are usually a few cops there and they'll always side with their fellow chuds

      That said, maybe it's time to stop caring about the consequences

      Maybe if one of these brittle old boomers got a few bones broken or had their skull smashed into the curb the rest would back off

        Honestly feel that a more militant movement that also puts the chuds on defense would be good, i.e. "chuds are pedophiles" "chuds want to inspect your childs genitals", start spouting just anything to be honest and make them afraid to go out in public (yes I know that goes against some aspects of leftism but I don't wanna die like a liberal cuss I wanted to be "civil").

            For me I feel lying or twisting the truth is a aspect of fascism and lower forms such as neoliberalism and conservatism. Marxism has been described as the "immortal science" due to its relation in accepting material reality compared to fascism that avoids material reality because it thrives in diverting introspection.

      They're still living by Hitler's dictum to always accuse the other side of what you're doing yourself.

    I’ve got an idea for a mural. It’s going to be an otherwise plain concrete wall splattered in red. The abstract patterns are all at about the height of the heads of these assholes and have an indent that may or may not contain brass at the center.

    Just this once, I'm gonna do a generation game

    Americans born in the last quarter of the 20th century made sooooo much hay about how they weren't gonna end up like their parents, that they weren't gonna shocked or appalled by bog standard youth culture. No over-the-top reactions from us, nosiree!

    HA. HA.

    No, I disagree. Re-education would be very effective for people like this. If you can re-educate a literal emperor, you can re-educate Americans. :mao-wave:

      there needs to be a mandatory program of getting boomers stoned and making them watch children's cartoons until they say "yes steven universe is my favorite show"

      You can, but these super-indoctrinated freaks make up at least 20% of the Amerikan populace. Sure, if you'd be in a position to try and re-educate them, that would necessarily require that you've gone through a revolutionary war and red terror to get to that point, which would already have killed off large numbers of them, but it still seems like an insurmountable task to save every single one of the remaining reactionaries. Puyi was given the choice between re-education and death. He chose a new life as a street sweeper, many others did not. The same would have to apply in a post-revolutionary US and i'd assume that most hogs would spew something like bEtTeR dEaD tHaN rEd :pit: as their last words.

    Afterward, one woman stood up to say, "I feel that she did a really good job finding excuses to defend the things she put on. None of us are that stupid."

    No. Fuck off. That's not a real person. That's a demiurgical archon taunting us.
