New Orleans also had No Kings in the morning and (corporate sponsored, thanks Shell Oil!) Pride in the afternoon yesterday. Lots and lots of folks made this same silly sign or a variant. "No Kings, Yassss Queens" etc.

I tend to concur with the sentiment that it still promotes monarchism as aspirational, but I think a lot of protest signs are "heart in the right place" kinds of things. Like anyone that snow clones "Make Something Whatever Again" I hate, quit validating his slogans with copies!

Or calling Trump TACO and using tacos as mocking images. I don't want to associate Trump and tacos, I liketacos! And he doesn't "chicken out", if you think his tariff nonsense is about playing chicken, please learn what "market manipulation" is.

Ehh...Not that it's entirely applicable to this case, using royal titles as positive complements to people still seems like a nice way to keep such titles positive in peoples' minds. Which is bad.

Like the whole fad of calling people "kings" for having an agreeable opinion. Extremely lame.

The juxtaposition of "no kings" but then using queen in a positive light in the same sentence is hilariously hypocritical on a linguistic level.

"Queens" has other meanings now which muddy the 1:1 comparison you're trying to make.

Imo, this may feel questionable in 20 years, but it feels like a win right now so let's take it

if a protest is sanctioned by the state, it means it has been contained.

Fuck yeah, let’s go Boston!

Home of the tea party

Boston is the "Balls". We may need to fight another revolution very soon.

I'll be very honored to be 2025's version of the modern Minutemen.

I swear to God, if your name is Preston, I'm gonna punch you in the face and then join the ranks.

I’d be happy to join you and go full Milbury on a Nazi with a steel toed boot

Hold the line!

Count me in!

Ok so no tea and no king in Boston

You know, you could just ban British people altogether. It would be easier

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago
