Fuck the Poor...

[rickyarbino]

Thought this was a pretty interesting video, how would you guys have reacted?

[wolf89]

In before Mason says he hates poor people

[rockonin]

This thread is a bit harsh on Agent

[Harkat]

The two signs aren't really equivalent like that though, although I guess the actual point is communicated.

[m8son666]

how much do you reckon it would cost to get one of the first sandwich boards?

[ezza]

id give that guy 1 big ups irl

#fuckthepoor

[m8son666]

init would be jokes if you went up to him and bigged him up and discussed with him how shit the poor are, i wonder what he would do

[ezza]

just walked past a whole group of poors on the way to the station...

wait for it...

they were also hippies

and...

they were building some sort of eco friendly veg garden cus i imagine they cant even afford basic vegetables

[m8son666]

that sounds horrible, i feel for you having to witness that

This pro-working class shit, especially in the UK, is self-righteous reactionary hipsterism after the whole Thatcher debacle. It's not just that people don't truly care, it's that they pretend to care because it's fashionable.

Interesting point, also has similaries with the slacktivism debate that i think there was a thread about in snh a while ago if i remember rightly. People want to be seen to be doing something good but dont want to trouble themselves to actually take action and do anything that might actually make a difference.

[nousd]

personally I admire the effort
which seems to only upset peebs who are or could be poor

but, as Gene says, ultimately ineffective
in inspiring public to share the wealth
though not hipsterism
which couldn't give a shit about inequity

imo the thread that asserts unconditionally giving money is more on point

Thatchers gone over 20 years just how many do you think recall her as prime minister or we taking a large group of 40+ hipsters?

Always intrigues me when people under the age of 25 start blaming Thatcher for things.

Question to US ninjas <25yrs old; do you blame Reagan for anything, even though you weren't alive to remember him being President?

[wub]

Also, related question;

In OP video, the guy was told by a policeman that the sandwich board was offensive. What's the law pertaining to such obscene words being displayed in public?

I'm glad we were able to talk about her vice and her evils. There's a more important topic I'd like to discuss. The dysfunctional bastards of the Ronald Reagan Era. Young men that learned to do everything spiteful. This is your generation. Live fast and die young. Who's willing to explain this story?

[wub]

Not wanting to split hairs, but he's neither <25 nor a Ninja.

There aren't many 40+ year olds from the UK posting on this forum, are there? I think we sit quite comfortably in the 20 - 30 bracket.

[scspkr99]

I'd be one of them

My point is that if the self righteous reactionary stuff is a reaction to Thatcher it's a little slow.
