The conservative version is the same but removes the poster from the left window.

Fucking weird that someone would even feel the need to put the left one in their shop window 😳

That’s what happens when hateful racists wage war on an entire group of people.

Freedom of speech again yeah? So 1800s

I went to a Cracker Barrel a few years ago and they has a sign that read "Proudly serving people of color since 1973" or whatever year it had. Weird brag

That is unbelievably odd!

But only for customers.

It's to counter the racism, biggotry, and xenophobia present in pockets of American culture.

These shitty types of people avoid or hide within large cities - everyone is typically fine in these places. But small towns can sometimes have a serious problem with this if they are too "red" (Conservative).

In short, pockets of America are very tribal. People bond over similarities, and their shared disapproval of anything different, or out of the ordinary.

This woulda been way funnier if you'd Photoshopped out the text in the windows too.

I usually rely on TinEye to for that: https://tineye.com/search/3ae58e30783903f716bfe5708e6c0ff6442ba1d6?sort=score&order=desc

You could easily create that meme for the tolerance paradox. Just saying

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

I think those are two different shops

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That would be Capitalism not Liberalism.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

the two are fundamentally inseparable

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

It's rare a agree with you but today I do

You know OP is not a conservative? Liberal in this meme is not in opposition with conservative

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

hello I am an anarchist and I see a lot of hypocrisy here

to spell it out: the combination of laws against public urination / defecation, and the lack of free toilets in public places, criminalises poverty.

if you're desperate to use a bathroom, and you can't afford to be a customer of this business, the person who put up this sign thinks you should risk arrest (and in some places, being added to a sex offenders' register) - or probably, not be in the neighbourhood in the first place.

claiming to respect marginalised people, while discriminating based on wealth / class (and ignoring the correlation between race/gender/immigration status, and money) is a hallmark of liberalism.

So where you come from, you welcome no races, no religions, no countries of origin, no sexual orientations, no genders; you don't stand with them and they're not safe, and the restrooms are a complete free for all?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Everyone can use toilet. Nobody can use shop

[+] [email protected] -14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

We have other problems to fix before we can safely bring back free public restrooms.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

I disagree. In my experience having a lack of restrooms just makes the place nasty and hostile. You can still visit places with plenty of public restrooms, and it's so much nicer. Every light rail station in Seattle smells like a toilet, the ones in Vancouver are way nicer. Removing restrooms doesn't remove the need to pee.

[+] [email protected] -8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

People pee on the sidewalk regardless of whether public restrooms exist.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Some people don't clean their ass after they shit, should we not make toilet paper or bidet's available for the rest of us?

[+] [email protected] -7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

What? That's just not a good comparison.

People don't shoot up drugs in a roll of toilet paper.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Your response is a symptom of a much larger problem you have, misinformation and fear. You've presented a weird MSM scenario where everyone is a druggy. You've been disconnected from reality and have lost your way from being "stoic".

“We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.” – Seneca

You don't know me.

People shoot up drugs on the street, too. Should we just get rid of public streets while we're at it?

Personally, I would rather have drug users go to a more private spot(like a public bathroom stall), than on the street in broad daylight, to use their drugs.
