Well, if you’re gonna go through all that trouble, don’t unveil the world’s most useless fucking sign. They deserve to be a meme.

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah... a message of peace? Super lame.

Don't they know promoting hatred and violence is what all the cool kids are into now?

And what impact do you think that had? Real impact. Nothing? Is that what you guessed? Because you’re right!

What impact do messages of hatred towards your enemies have?

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What impact have messages of “love vs power” ever had on society?

I think… none.

Again, what impact do messages of hatred towards your enemies have?

It's possible flying a banner on a big building won't have any impact no matter what message you put on it. Do you really think people would change their view on any issue because of a slogan on a flag?

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au -1 points 1 day ago

I think people are smarter than you, yes.

[–] irish_link@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Right?!

They should post stupid stuff online for fun instead! That makes a real difference!

[–] kibblebits@quokk.au 2 points 1 day ago

Well they started a meme. So I guess that’s something.

The vapidness of the original message is what makes the memes work.

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 days ago

It was a pretty shit sign.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

It was made for a proposal

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I do wonder what kind of sign would be 'useful', though.

Eat at Joe's Free coffee between 9 and 11

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

I'd buy that for a dollar!

Not how that works.
