    I don’t see how this is anywhere on the political spectrum. It’s just a little dumb.

        Well no shit, but I don’t see anything in this image that makes it right or left or center or anything.

          Comparing a femme person’s choice to decorate their own body and a graffitied building doesn’t have overtones? Are you engaging with this honestly?

            I don’t assume its source based solely on this image, because this image doesn’t identify a source.

                  I’m reflecting on your refusal to interact with the medium. That is not an assumption.

                  We’re not discussing a source, we’re talking about a trend in conservative discource and how it applies to memes. This isn’t a doctoral defense of the media. You dodged an honest question with a refusal to engage. Thus you’re currently being, in this instance, willfully ignorant.

    I’m more curious as to how multiple different people tagged all like 8 floors of the building. Maybe it’s AI generated?

    I mean, it’s a fairly reasonable comparison aside from the fact the building is shitty. Is it political in any sense? I don’t think so.

      I don’t see any nazi iconography in the image OP posted, can you point them out to me?

        I was applying the claim to something else

        If you are talking about graffiti on buildings then you haven’t been to Frankfurt if you’ve not seen nazi imagery

          What are you applying the claim to?

          Why the reference to illegal Nazi iconography in Frankfurt? The building posted looks to me to be in the contiguous US.

          You posted an image of a person’s mugshot who has a swastika on their forehead and I assumed you were conflating their tattoos to the person in the original image of this post.

            People with nazi tattoos

            I thought you might not have known racist graffiti existed

            Oh no, nothing about her. Just the “Tattoos = graffiti, guys” part was applied to the person I posted

            The building is most likely in São Paulo. Not that it matters for for the point you’re making :)

            We really didn’t need to bring the “criticizing our community in the third person” farce over from reddit. You are Lemmy too, and I suspect you can handle abstract reasoning, yes?

            I’m not bothered by the amount of tattoos. I’m bothered by the nazi swastika front and center. I would be just as bothered if they were just wearing a nazi arm band or Trump hat.

              You’re pretty close to the point.

              The point is that it’s subjective, and given the right content or quantity, it looks bad to you.

                No, I think I’m on the point. I don’t care about other people’s appearances and I don’t care to subject other people to what I think self respect looks like. I’m bothered by what their morals are and how they’re going to make that my problem. Nazi tattoos mean that person wants to make life worse for other people. I’m not bothered by the dye, but by the ideas they represent. The woman in the picture doesn’t have any hate symbols that I recognize.

                  You find the tattoos distasteful for a reason of your own. I share such a reason, but it’s your own. Therefore you find the display graffiti-like: a blight on the visual landscape (in that interpretation of grafatti)

                  Edit The significance of Nazi iconography being distasteful is an easy one, and that’s why it was used as an alternative display to prove the point.

            If you have to change the scenario to make your point then your point doesn’t belong in this comment section.

              It’s a common way to illustrate a point, by describing it with other variables.

              Your reply is telling lol

                Telling of what? The dude brought up something that didn’t happen in the image and being like “Oh yeah well you’re wrong because of something irrelevant”

      Exactly. We never agreed to put that guy in charge of the building; he just inherited it!

    Have you seen those cars that have every bumper sticker imaginable on them? Also covered with lots of hand-scrawled signs with every random religious/cultish phrase possible. That’s the vibe I get from these tattoos.

    Just like the vehicles, those body adornments tell me all I want to know about the occupant.

  • She makes much more sense when you undo the mirroring whichever dipshit created this did. The backwards texts in crazy fonts were breaking my brain.

    I appreciate the commitment in both cases. Whoever climbed out to do the graffiti at the top of the building had some guts.
