  If there were so many examples of this in the real world, then you wouldn’t need to photoshop one.

    Again, it’s an illustration of the hypocrisy. It doesn’t need to literally exist as a physical object in order to make the point.

      It’s a fabrication of a hypocrisy. If the hypocrisy is real, you wouldn’t need to fabricate it.

        Sometimes fiction and altered objects depict abstract concept better than real physical objects do and neoliberals tend not to say the quiet parts loudly like the fascist party on the other side of the aisle has increasingly been doing in recent years.

        I mean the hypocrisy really exists, but you’re right that this particularly egregious and shocking example is likely a total fabrication.

        It’s called satire.

    The French Revolution was well documented and people still enjoy A Tale of Two Cities

    Are you saying we don’t need any fiction - novels, tv, movies, jokes, comics, memes… because there exists non-fiction versions?

      I think you and the others trying to pass off the same idea don’t seem to understand the problem here. It’s not that you can’t have satire, or fiction that acts as a social commentary. It’s that all of the examples you are mentioning aren’t trying to pass themselves off as reality . Nobody reads A Tale of Two Cities and thinks that it is literal. Or A Modest Proposal. This here is trying to pass itself off as real and as soon as it gets called out for it, the choir shows up to say “Oh, so we can’t have satire anymore”.

        I genuinely don’t think anyone thinks these are trans-inclusive homeless spikes.

        At best they got painted bright colors for visibility and they accidentally used the trans flag

  get fucked with that bullshit. trans allies aren’t out there persecuting anyone. jfc, where do you come up with this bullshit?

    Tell that to the homeless people forced to play frogger across the interstate near where I live. And the entire working class neighborhood whose flood risk was ignored by the city for decades until this year because it got mostly destroyed.

    Camping bans are persecution. Building shiny stuff instead of taking care of people is persecution. It’s not bold or in your face but it’s real.

      Bruh what the fuck did trans people/trans allies have to do with the circumstances that created these issues? Stop using them as a scapegoat.

        They pass laws protecting the rights of LGBTQ people (Which is awesome). And then they pass laws to criminalize homelessness while they profit off the current state of real estate. (Not awesome)

    WHO ARE WE MAKING FUN OF

    The liberals, politician and civilian alike, who support LGBTQ+ people’s right to exist without harassment but also are in favor of persecuting and punishing homeless people for existing near them.

    Like for example New York Mayor and once a cop always a cop Eric Adams who is in favor of both marriage equality and (not much short of) hunting the homeless for sport.

      it’s almost like it’s not that hard to just, have a good opinion.

      • Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        True, but it’s evidently FAR too hard for anyone with power to not have at least one truly awful one, based on the fact that almost none of them manage it…
