What the hell is a loud hug? D-do you moan while hugging the recipient?
Do you not?
Fair point
The person being hugged screams from the pain.
My childhood friends when I used to squeeze the heckin life out of them daily:
MmmmMmmm!!!
Can we be neighbors?
Meeeeat bicycle!
Im the conductor of the poop train!
I’m convinced most people still don’t understand what “all cops are bastards” actually means.
“bUt My UnClE/dAd/BrOtHeR/fRiEnD iS a CoP” Yeah, now imagine how many situations where they had to bite their tongue and look away because interfering would lose their job.
Even the “good” cops aren’t really good because even if they try to stop other cops from being bad they’ll be punished. Being a cop is just being in a govt sanctioned gang.
Then say the system is shit.
And what is this shit system made out of?
Society. And more than just the police. It’s not the people in the police, it’s the society that makes them like that. ACAB makes it sound like the police exist in a vacuum where the politicians and businesses and media and vitersthat create this situation don’t exist.
We would but it’s unhelpful circlejerking.
No but what really is helpful is having a slogan that prompts misunderstanding and division every time you use it.
How the fuck can being clear be “unhelpful circlejerkibg”?
It’s no secret that the system is shit. We all are victims of capitalism. And it IS traumatizing. However, if half of all retail workers started engaging in corruption and race based violence, we’d say ARWAB. It’s already been established in legalese that police are “agents of the state” and that their only purpose is to protect capital and capital owners. Anyone who thinks that joining the police force is going to help them give back to their community are naive idiots. ACAB.
If retail workers started engaging in violence I wouldn’t imagine that all retail workers had suddenly become bastards, I would ask wtf is going on systemically to create that outcome.
“the system is shit” doesn’t really convey much meaning. it isn’t clear.
describing why the system is shit, especially to those who watched their beloved family member become “one of the good guys” in the force can be more helpful.
I called it circlejerking because we (the circle) all know what you mean by “the system is shit”, and it feels good to say because it is true. but to someone outside the circle, we look like a bunch of degenerates, criminal appologists, reverse-racists, etc…
Sure. But ACAB doesn’t describe why the system is shit
Not clearly, no but does identify at least one type of actor in that system which is capable of change or reform.
IMO, at best, it identifies a symptom of the issue that requires change. Look, i don’t agree with you about the optics and helpfulness of ACAB but I agree with you that police are a major problem in the US and I’d welcome reform.
I wish it was a guillotine blade instead of a razor blade.
Maybe it’s a guillotine blade sized razor blade
Would be useless. Guillotine blades were thick, heavy, and had that ironic angled shape for the specific purpose of lobbing off heads efficiently. Razor blade would be terrible at that, no matter how big.
Guillotine’s before the angled blade were shitty.
You mean lopping. Lobbing is when you’re throwing something (usually high)—which is a funny mental image. Lol
It would be the only appropriate way to behead the ceo of galette
the ceo of galette
If flat cakes were a business, you mean?
Man I’m not putting that much effort into this to look up the company name
Gillettine
Jelloite and Touche
I wonder I would explain the format given I’m the resident Californian with neighbors who have signs like this. Here’s an example:
Which itself I think is a riff off a more conservative religious sign. Can’t find the OG, but this made me laugh on Etsy:
(The stock model photoshopped in is as confused about this as we are, naturally).
Lastly, this whole hunt got images had me find this, which made me smile.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1359743922/in-this-house-we-believe-funny-yard-sign
Which I give the authentic Etsy link cause fuck those first two people.
Context! I somehow didn’t think Wikipedia would have that.
I almost felt bad leaving that link, because it seemed like you put in some work gathering that info lol
It’s supplemental, and meant to be funny. Besides, only three Google searches. I mostly just wanted to give context to our European friends out there!
But, I still think there’s an original religious sign the 2016 one was based on. I’m not sure if the wiki mentions it, mostly remember “in this house we believe in (insert religion here)” signs from years ago. Obviously not rainbow colored though, lol
Couldn’t find the original but i found some fun ones! The last one is exceptional.
Kindness is everything
My neighbor has that sign. My neighbor at my last house had that sign too. They’re very popular around here.
Love is love
Baby, don’t hurt me
Those signs are definitely elsewhere in the us
Apparently they also believe in blanket statements.
Yeah this kind of reeks of “I just found about systemic inequality yesterday and now I plan on single-handedly fixing it tomorrow” energy.
It’s not ideal…
I guess it’s better than being totally ignorant.
Totally ignorant isn’t the only option outside of this.
Consider that not everyone is at the same level of progress in their journey of being unplugged from the matrix. Everyone starts somewhere, and maybe this post gave someone their quote of the year. Encourage radical thinking or post better memes. Be the change, yadda yadda.
Solidarity is everything
With the amount of leftist infighting, this line is actually hilarious
The only infighting is between actual Leftists and tankies who consider themselves leftists but secretly jerk off to pictures of starving Ukrainians. Most Leftists are squarely in the range of DemSoc to Marxist. Lots to agree on.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
Hello, here’s all the things I’d like to argue about today.
If I had any talent at all I would 100% make a fabulous looking embroidery of this to hang in my house…
E: also I love how this has gotten so many people to openly declare both their ignorance and determination to maintain it, in their refusal to look up a topic that has been written about extensively for centuries and actually educate themselves, instead of confidently and incorrectly declaring something they know nothing about wrong or impossible or whatever capitalism has indoctrinated them to believe about its alternatives…
What’s the razor blade about?
It’s edgy
The only billionaire I have even the slightest bit of respect for is Mark Cuban cause he actually tries to make people’s lives a little easier.
Everyone else can bite bricks and or be stripped of their wealth cause they are wasting it.
It would have made his employees lives a lot easier if he wasn’t pocketing all those unpaid wages.
Give it some time. He’s helping people at the moment with his current business model. But his model really seems like he’s just moving to corner the market. Once he has cornered enough of that market, his true colors will show.
You don’t amass that kind of wealth by being altruistic.
This really needs a part about how all churches are scams to bilk you out of your money.
I can’t get behind all cops are bastards.
I’ve watched so many police bodycam videos by now to say that anyone who gets caught red-handed for their criminal bullshit, are the ones who’d be screaming about how all cops are bastards.
I’ll trade all cops are bastards for religion is a business.

In this house we believe in stereotyping and short sighted beliefs
I think the vast majority of landlords are parasites, but definitely not all.
You think every single person should be entitled to hundreds of thousands of dollars of property on loan? Some grown ass adults out there struggle to tie their shoelaces because they’re still holding their crack pipe. Landlords are the vehicle by which the needy gain access to housing in capitalism, they’re a symptom and not a disease. Fix capitalism (with socialism) and the symptom will disappear.
Found the landlord.
Found the crackhead.
gottem.
not all landlords lol
You’re framing the issue all wrong. Money is fake. Housing is necessary to live. Maybe everyone should just have a house and we shouldn’t commodify a necessity to living. Same with food and water. Anyone who profiteers off of a life necessity is a parasite.
Who’s going to gather the lumber, pour the foundation, frame the house, mine the copper, install the electrical wiring, and all that shit? It sounds nice to say “maybe everyone should just have a house”, but houses don’t grow out of the ground. It takes considerable manpower, knowledge, skill, and resources to build a house. The people involved in that process deserve & require compensation. You can debate if it’s best to receive that compensation through a socialist system where they receive other goods and services in exchange, a communist system where everyone labors and receives according to state distribution, or through our current capitalist system, but it’s naive to say “just give everyone a house”.
You’re getting torn apart - I think partially because of your phrasing - but you make a valid point. There are a lot of people without the knowledge, ability, resources, or even desire to own a house. “Just give everyone a house” is a childish sentiment that fails to acknowledge the complexities of the real world.
I’m not feeling “torn apart” in the slightest, most reasonable responses have been very much in agreement with me while dissenting views have been mostly ad hominem or baseless accusation.

council housing and housing coops sound a lot like what I said about socialism being the solution, but yeh
I thought you were genuinly argueing that landlords keep crackheads of the street. Should have been more forgiving.
So, the SovCit playbook.
How is this related to sovcits?
If you don’t see the similarities, then it’s not worth anyones time explaining. Enjoy your circlejerk.
“I’m too clever to explain myself to the likes of you!”
Now you’re getting it.
Actually, I’m on vacation and I don’t need this shit.
