I like the sentiment but I don't like this type of propaganda, no matter how despicable people that fly these flags are.
I don't agree with spreading misinformation even if the goal seem to justify the means.
I mean its mostly a joke though and i think the idea jokes like this are propaganda we should not do seems silly to me.
Agree. There is no source and it's probably some stupid person trying to scare people.
FWIW I get angry when I see these flags but I also know some people who support this and they are simply misled. If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times, people can change. I used to have the opinion similar to Blue Lives Matters. My world view was bey limited and this was before social media. It's up to everyone else to listen to them and help better understand their perspective so we can help broaden their life experiences.
Blue lives matter supporters though are racist authoritarian fascists though not misled you need to aggressively challenge them not coddle them especially when their views are so materially harmful.
The issue of police brutality and how it disproportionately affects racial minorities is extremely complicated. I've known BLM supporters and BlueLM folks and they're all different from each other, not just different due to the causes they support. Do you think BLM supporters are all hyper-liberal communists? I would hope not. So, stop applying blanket stereotypes to people who support one end of a complex issue simply because you support the other.
Okay never said black lives matter doesn't have diverse members no idea where you go that. What is true is the police are a institution made to protect property and enforce the power of the ruling class and thus are enemies to anyone not part of the ruling elite supporting them is thus violence against anyone not a straight white property owning male.
LOL, you really can't see how much of a hypocrite you're being, can you? Fine, not going to bother.
Oh, wait, just checked your username. You're an idiot anarchist. Nevermind....
