Don't worry everyone, I'm sure someone somewhere is worse and that makes this okay somehow.

How can it be that people don't realize how badly faked this is and what position it is trying to sneak through?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

You mean you don't believe that Hostile architecture exists? Or are you just saying that this specific example doesn't?

[-] rxin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 52 points 6 months ago

This specific example is badly photoshopped

I mean that someone saw hostile architecture and then decided to photoshop a trans flag over it for political reasons.

We, as strangers, will never know their exact motivation, but I think if their idea was a message regarding the unfair treatment of economically disadvantaged people or neoliberal hypocrisy, there would be much better ways to communicate the issue, that don't involve something that can easily be construed as anti-trans messaging.

It's a bit vibes based, but you know.... people ain't robots, and even if that wasn't the original intent, that's how the message comes across. And I'd rather have a better, more poignant statement that's worth repeating, rather than this, perhaps unintentionally, bad one.

Especially because people will take this at face value and there are more photoshopped images just like this, making the whole thing a bit sussy, imo.

You’re at the top of my comment chain, so I’m replying to agree with you and take this further.

Whoever photoshopped this and the other one with the park bench that’s floating around is trying to pit liberals against each other by making it seem like fighting for trans rights and fighting to house the unhoused are opposed to each other.

For anyone reading this, don’t fall for it.

Sure, except I'm in California where it is two very different fights. Try reversing any LGBTQ Rights and you'll get tarred and feathered. Suggest the Homeless shouldn't be hunted in the streets and you also get tarred and feathered.

It's like living in reverse land where instead of "fiscal responsibility" and "traditional social values"; we have "fiscal responsibility" and "progressive social values".

That sucks. None of us are free until all of us are free.

A society's greatness can only be measured by how they treat their most vulnerable citizens.

[-] pufferfisherpowder@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

You mean the worse they treat them the greater the greatness, right? Like Sparta, right bro?

Nice, anti homeless and anti disabled all at once (lack of streetside seating makes getting around challenging for mobility limited people)

Great! If the spikes weren't inclusive trans people might feel excluded from the ban of sleeping on them

We fell in love in a homeless place... We fell in love in a hooOoomless plaaace...

[-] fox2263@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago

No human is illegal.

The irony

[-] blujan@sopuli.xyz 5 points 6 months ago

That, and the painting, might be put there by people protesting the spikes and not necessarily the owners of these spikes.

My trans homies and I would probably throw a brick through that window... just saying.

Okay, in reality we'd talk to the owner first and explain why this is shitty behavior. The brick is plan B.

[-] uis@lemm.ee 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Plan B is for Brick. Primary plan is Plan Ы.

Because it's quite likely that the people who run the store also own the building or something?

Not a chance. This building (and the windowsill and spike strip) are owned by some real estate company and the shop owner (who owns the sticker) is a renter.

Be pissed off at the wealthy elite that's shooing off the homeless, not the shop owner. Totally different people.

[-] SpaceCadet@feddit.nl 9 points 6 months ago

This doesn't even have anything to do with homeless people. Homeless people don't sleep on a window sill.

I personally know a few places in my city where people have resorted to putting spikes on their window sills like that. It has everything to do with anti-social people who think someone else's window sill is a perfectly good place to sit around all night, make noise, drink alcohol, do drugs, leave their garbage, damage the property, ...

The spikes are put there out of desperation when talking to people and talking to the police hasn't helped.

[-] FMT99@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Not to interrupt your hate parade against the wealthy, fully on board with that, but most store owners also absolutely hate homeless people around their stores. For somewhat understandable reasons but still.

[-] Trollception@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

I mean the reason is that most people will be a bit sketched out by homeless people hanging around your establishment. I've run into quite a few homeless people when living in the city and more times than not they are pretty sketchy individuals, not all but most.
