Liberals in 2004: ugh I can't believe DUBYA Bush is making people protest in free speech zones miles away from where he's speaking.

Liberals in 2024: you can protest in the free speech zone miles away sweetie maybe-later-honey

Isn't this a joke in Arrested Development?

I think they were a thing that the Bush admin did when he did speeches for anti-war protesters, which is where tje AD joke came from.

Would that imply that you want someone to freely speak into your butthole, or that your butthole freely speaks its own mind

Free Speech? Is this a reference to the antisemitic hamas slogan Free Palestine?

Eve Fartlow, who says she speaks for all Jewish people, is so tired of the word “free” she might not wake up after reading your post.

This is an actual thing at our local university and has been for years. Granted, serious movements don't listen and they have yet to sick the cops on them. I'm not talking about USC though.

antagonistic guerilla art idea:

set up chain link fencing or pedestrian barricades into small pens in public areas. like i'm talking 25 sq ft, like a little box. hang a sign that says "Free Speech Area" on it with maybe a ticker or decal of the local institutional authority (county/municipal government, state, university, etc). set them up over night and in areas with lots of foot traffic, but not blocking or even remotely hintering people. like totally tucked into a corner, but completely visible.

it would not be cheap, because that stuff can be pricey to lose and they will take it once somebody with enough juice realizes its fake... but it could last in place for a while and i think most people looking at something like that resent the shit out of it.

I just replied to you about my RoboCop-like miniseries idea. For the movie add in multiple antagonistic guerilla art situations: "free speech" areas, etc.

Now I made myself sad. I want such a miniseries to actually exist.

Does this image look Photoshopped? This one?

Did you do the bare minimum of research before casting doubt on this because you arbitrarily felt the vibes were off?

[–] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They have used the same signs within the last few weeks, how have you determined it’s photoshopped?
