It could also be seen as very literate and they are very much giving the finger to the "thin blue line."

However, I feel like the "God bless America" sticker on the upper left says that isn't the case.

I love two things: freedom ... and cops.

And German luxury automobiles…so three things

I can appreciate when people put labels on their car indicating how hazardous they are and how far to stay away. Just the other day I saw a car with similar stickers, including a "We the People..." and one endorsing the Trump / RFK Jr. ticket.

[-] MehBlah@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I usually just consider them stupid. Anyone I know is stupid is someone who can't be trusted. Not because they are inherently good or bad but because they can't tell the difference between the two.

Same, it's really helpful especially because I'm trans and those type of people can be anything from unpleasant to downright dangerous. I was actually assaulted by one of those right-wing assholes because a little girl bumped into me while I was walking, they then yelled "Groomer!" And ended up punching me really hard in the face and kicked me in the stomach, asshole literally broke my nose.

Translation: "I like police (when they beat colored people) but will resist when they tell me to follow rules"

[-] lolrightythen@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

Pretty much. I usually assume folks aren't aware of their motivations. This is no exception.

Not that it is likely true - it just makes my existence a bit smoother.

[-] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 97 points 3 days ago

Seems pretty consistent. The dude knows that cops are there to uphold white supremacy, he is white and therefore not in danger of being murdered by them. “Conservatism is the belief that laws are there to bind an outgroup but not protect, and protect an in group but not bind them” paraphrasing the quote.

[-] DrinkMonkey@lemmy.ca 49 points 3 days ago

Thank you for introducing me to Wilhoit’s Law:

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

[-] YtA4QCam2A9j7EfTgHrH@infosec.pub 37 points 3 days ago

It is a really good quote that crystallized for me what conservatives were all about. It just didn’t make a fuck of a lot of sense to me beforehand. Why vote against your interests over and over again?

That, and I also now understand that there is something like 30 percent of the population that doesn’t believe in positive sum games. They think that with every transaction there must be a winner and a loser. Don’t quote me on that exact amount. But it is just a startling amount of people that have some very weird beliefs that lead to fascism.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 33 points 3 days ago

Fascists are strange creatures indeed.

They claim to be all about logic and rationality, but even a little bit of either blows apart their entire worldview.

"They're taking all of your jobs" while "they're lazy and stealing all of the welfare money".

"It's simply the natural order" yet "we need brutal enforcement to keep it in place".

"It's free speech" yet "ban the books, ban the journalism, jail the journalists".

"America did not do anything wrong" yet "we cannot teach portions of American history".

"War is terrible" yet "we'll blow them to smithereens".

"College education is useless liberal indoctrination" yet "I was incredibly smart which you can tell because I went to Wharton" and "I graduated from Yale".

"Thoughts and prayers are all we can offer for shooting victims because bans won't work" but "let's ban abortion".

That may be this man's belief, but he's mistaken. Cops murder black/brown Americans at a disproportionate rate, but in absolute numbers, poor white folks catch the majority of State violence.

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Oh. Did you not hear?

The whole point of white supremacy in the US is to prevent the white working class for talking to the black working class, and organize in their favor to gain any form of fairness or access to the value of their labor. Yeah poor white people LOVE white supremacy, even thought they know they are treated nearly as bad as black folks they know deep down, they at BETTER than them. Of course they'll fight against labor unions, universal healthcare, and social safety nets, it would make their lives FAR better, obviously, but then the black folks lives would be better too. And that's too far. So let them live on a stagnant wage for two generations, who cares, they are WHITE! They get to take credit for all white accomplishment! The white inventions! The white laws! The white everything! How wonderful! No need for improvements. Keep those low class burger flippers hungry!

Ah, the Downbadsden Flag, a national cornerstone of the USA!

[-] Mostly_Gristle@lemmy.world 38 points 3 days ago

Gotta love conservative double-think. A guy who lives up the street from me has a big "come and take it" sticker on the back window of his truck flanked by two thin blue line Punisher skulls.

Like, my brother in Christ, do you not understand who they're going to be sending to "take it?" I swear these guys think Kamala is going to personally come to their house to demand they give up their guns.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 43 points 3 days ago

I always find people that think that pictures using skeletons makes them more badass really funny. It's like the little kid version of scary. OMG it's a hand but it's a SKELETON HAND! VERY BIGLY STRONG.

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 26 points 3 days ago

Ironically it's very specifically weaker, without muscles.

[-] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

Truth. BUT IT'S SCARY BECAUSE I SAW IT AROUND HALLOWEEN AND MY INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT STOPPED AT 12 YEARS OLD!

[-] shuzuko@midwest.social 7 points 3 days ago

🎶🎵spooky, scary skeletons will flip your neighbors off🎵🎶

It makes me think of bars, trailers, rusty motorcycles and drug abuse... for some reason.

Zone out at “Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses”

Turn it up to 11 at “fuck you I won’t do what you tell me”

Just missing the punisher skull with Trump hair to complete the stupidity

That's a real thing, isn't it?...

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

The only thing Donald Trump has ever punished is a bucket of KFC.

And he's exactly the kind of corrupt scumbag the Punisher fights against.

[-] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

People just put those stickers on their car to get out of tickets.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

Needs a Trump mugshot with "NO SURRENDER" under it too.
