[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You seem to have a limited amount of tolerance OP if that sign set you off.  They are allowed to like ice hockey.  I personally think it is violent and scary but I am willing to agree that they are allowed to like it.  When you become a little less narrow-minded let us know and then we can all share conversations about things we agree with and things we don't.  Right now you're not going to be able to hack it.[/quote]

I think you misunderstand, or maybe I miscommunicated. They are absolutely allowed to like ice hockey. I may even agree with them! But using that image/sign/style that is [b]so clearly tied to human rights and BLM is really just in poor taste, and it reflects badly on people who display it, and it diminishes their message in the end[/b]. There are so many ways to convey their message, and this way makes them look stupid and inconsiderate and at worst, it makes them look like they're disrespecting a movement by co-opting an icon. Like appropriation, in a sense. If someone is dug into conservatism or MAGA my point will go directly over their head, but *that* is my point. [/quote]

Serious question: is this sign diminishing the “human rights/BLM” messaging by making it abundantly and absurdly clear that putting up a SIGN is worth absolutely NOTHING in terms of advancing human rights, racial equity, whatever you and your neighbors *pretend* you care about?

This sign isn’t making a mockery of any movement- it is making a mockery of YOUR ridiculous signs...[/quote]

I think you’re missing the point of both signs, so I’m not sure how to respond to this. [/quote]

My point is your virtue signaling BLM love lives here etc. signs are pointless. Nothing whatsoever is accomplished by you putting such a sign in your yard.  The hockey sign is at least funny (making fun of you).  Therefore, hockey sign wins.[/quote]
