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"

    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
