Maybe? Absolutely liberals care more about their communities. Part of conservatism is that you don’t give a single shit about anyone but yourself. Maybe your kids. But that’s only if they’re straight and cis.
The right-wingers also aren't from the place they have these rallies at usually. They drive all over the country and get bussed around for these events to make the movement seem more popular. But when there are large progressive/left protests or events, they are mostly actually from that area so they care more about not making a mess.
Both things make sense together - people care more about not making a mess were they live than were they don't and left-wingers also think about others rather than just themselves - "do to others what you would like them to do to you" - which in this case means don't leave your trash behind to dirty up the place were others live, whilst rightwingers are all about what's best for themselves and in a place were they don't live simply dropping their trash on the ground and leaving it to dirty up somebody else's streets is less hassle for them personally than carrying their trash to the nearest trash bin.
Conservatives think destroying the community is a flex.
conservatives think anything is a flex as long as they can CO-OPT it into thier realm, they dont have a single belief they hold on to, and quite fickle, today its bad bunny, tommorow, its something else.
I guess only when they do it. BLM community destruction is still something brought up often.
MAGA is white trash. …And pick me trash. To be fair. I wish we could just split the country at this point. Irreconcilable differences.
In my town you couldn’t even tell there had been a protest there minutes after.
Allegedly true of country music fans too. That Venn diagram isn’t quite a circle, but it’s close.
Death Metal fans are percieved as incredibly violent, but actually are usually super nice.......unless you give them a reason to get super violent. Then they're super violent.
But after they get done lynching you, they'll stop for coffee and tea and discuss politics and comunity news.
But do you tip generously?
The person describing death metal fans never said they were a death metal fans.
I believe Hillary said it best. Deplorables.
The march didn't go to central ave but yes there were clean up crews
Yeah fake pics.
Fuck Trump though.
They think they are better than other people. They don't see others as worthy of their consideration. “Am I the only one who is sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us?” - advisor to the President Stephen Miller
"Can't someone else do it?" - Homer Simpson
I dont agree with leaving the trash there, but I understand it. It would have been confusing with all the trash already gathering there.
You can tell who lives there.

I'm in the middle of watching the Some More News episode about Stephen Miller, and it's the first thing I thought of seeing the post
That was quite an episode. Something is very wrong with that man.
"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini
While in general the comparison is true, in the specific case of the Kirk circlejerk, people specifically were told to leave their shit outside the venue and TP paid for the cleanup.
Even if being told, who drops their trash on the streets?
Whilst I believe the message on the whole, this is just clear... cherry picking, no?
No.
Tens of thousands of people and not a single scrap of litter accidentally strewn from the various people with their musical fanfare. I'm not even sure Japan is that good.
Why don't we just focus on the hard policies which are destroying people's livelihoods with provable statistics, instead of scrounging for wishful narratives focused around littering of all things
Tens of thousands of people who had a clear motivation to come across as upstanding citizens, and who generally had a political leaning towards environmentalism. I can believe they didn't leave trash behind.
See, that's the kind of thing that can happen when you value community and work together. You can have significant and nice shared resources. It's not a tragedy of the commons race to the bottom you get with rugged individualists and/or selfish children who see trash on the ground and say "that's bad, the person who did that needs to clean it up and be punished" and then it sits there and rots.
And yeah there are WAY more important things to worry about than how various groups do or do not litter. But it is an illustrative example of the different priorities and values of the groups. It seems like a topic for discussion as we live in a world where some people are still somehow just finding out that this Trump character might not a be all above board.
But for something so minor why are you so insistent upon pushing it away and disregarding it? That's two different justifications now for doing so (these are cherry picked, ok maybe not but it doesn't matter).
Anyone caught throwing trash on the ground should have their voting rights suspended till after the nearest election. If somebody is so lazy and has so little regard for their local community - does anyone seriously believe they care about the whole country?
While i agree in spirit, I feel like that would quickly devolve into cops detaining and beating minorities, just to force them to drop whatever's in their hand, so they can charge them with littering and disenfranchise them.
Disagree, suspending voting rights in general leads to feedback. Like how felons can't vote, so we get more laws that turn their community into felons.
Littering should be punished with community service but your right to vote is not a privilege.
speaks volumes
