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.

I wish it was a guillotine blade instead of a razor blade.

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.

Which I give the authentic Etsy link cause fuck those first two people.

Context! I somehow didn't think Wikipedia would have that.

[-] j_roby 11 points 3 months ago

I almost felt bad leaving that link, because it seemed like you put in some work gathering that info lol

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

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

Hello, here's all the things I'd like to argue about today.

[-] GilgameshCatBeard@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 months ago

Apparently they also believe in blanket statements.

I don't think I'm getting the "money if fake" one. Money is just an IOU that we've all agreed on the value of to simplify bartering.

[-] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

I never agreed to it, and the way it's dispersed only benefits the people that already have too much of it from exploiting other people's labor.

Sounds like you are exactly getting the "money is fake" one

[-] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Right but what point is it trying to make by pointing it out?

Yes, money is a social construct, but it's a construct that represents something real, i.e. trade. Without money we'd replace it with something else, but it ultimately comes down to the same thing.

Like, I can understand the perfect world without landlords or billionaires and so on, but what's this perfect world look like that has no currency?

[-] LibertyLizard 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Typically societies without money historically operated in what’s called a gift economy. Basically most goods were shared amongst the community. However there are very few remaining today.

I see what you're trying to say. But I gotta ask tho: did "we all" actually, really agree on that?

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..
