I never see them. As I'm writing this, I realize that it might be because yard signs are performative as fuck. But still, you'd think some people would still partake in the pleasure.
Or is it not worth the risk of having a "ACAB" sign on your front yard. Do leftist not own yards?
Would you put one up? Why or why not?
What would you consider a good leftist yard sign? Here's my pitch, beyond the normal leftist slogans:
"Capitalism, including this sign, is destroying the planet"
Yeah, I would at most do a BLM or something similar if I owned a yard. I'm in an apartment complex right now, so I was pondering putting one up anonymously.
People put BLM signs in their windows here in Bmore all over the place. I've never seen anything more radical than that. I wouldn't out anything up that identified my home as a place where radicals live
Libs are definitely also putting up BLM signs. The rich rich neighborhood north of me has them all over the place. I would bet 1 bit coin that if a black person walked thru the neighborhood, cops would be called. Got to love libs
The most radical socially accepted around here would probably be a DSA sign of some sort.
But we don't have a yard. Though I did put up a "Yes on 2" sign for RCV in Massachusetts. One of the few things that could actually yield (eventual) material changes at the voting booth.
I kinda think something so simple would actually be possible to put up, since most people would think you were being ironic. A website with good leftist info to cap it off
I don't think violent rightwingers would care if you're being ironic or not though
edit: or not even violent but just taking a picture and doxxing you to all their chud friends online where one of them can be violent
Leftists politics are the only politics that actually challenges the ruling class, so oftentimes we don't have the pleasure of indulging that kind of vain posturing (not moralising it, it can be fun). Some people certainly do it anyways but it's at a risk and that deters most people.
When I was delivering pizza i went to a house with a don't step on snek meme flag. He was cool lol.
What in the sweet fuck?! Imagine living in fear 24 hours a day seven days a week that pizza can kill you/filled with George Soros liberal serum.
Just frisbee the pizza onto their doorstep and text them while peeling out down the street.
There's the signs you see in any "progressive" rich neighborhood right before they call the cops on you for "acting strange".
By the way I have never seen anyone who has these signs who is not white.
Not worth the hassle. We have some BLM stuff up (let alone any kind of hardcore communist stuff) up in a pretty "progressive" neighborhood in a pretty "progressive" and really diverse part of the country and we've had a dude scream hard R n-words in front of our house, and I've had stuff thrown at me at night.
The brainworms are so writhing and hungry, the psychosis so balls-deep, the juice ain't worth the squeeze to throw up some fucking mao posters or malcom x quotes. You'd probably get swatted by some gamer in the neighborhood.
We had a BLM sign on our yard and got cursed out by people driving past and someone destroyed it eventually.
I’m afraid that having ACAB in your yard would result in a no-knock raid and your death.
I've seen a few BLM signs and banners in my area, and it confuses me. What is it for? Is it supposed to make black people feel better? Is it white people just showing off how woke they are?
It's performative - is it helpful in any way, or does it just make the person putting it up maybe feel better for doing nothing else?
I'm on the fence and would truly like some opinions on this.
It's definitely performative, but not bad to do, either. You know, as long as you follow it up with other things. I guess it could be bad in that it makes people feel like they did something and then stop
Any one sign? Probably not, imo. As a whole, its probably good to normalize black people as people. Of course, desegregating society would be *more helpful
I've got a Hawkins sign at the end of my driveway. However, I live two miles down what is basically a two track and I have one neighbor.. 1/4th of a mile away.
So, 0 for 2 I guess
