Fine message, but if you have 33 words on your protest sign you're really missing the mark.

At least they got the words neatly written and balanced on the cardboard, and the fists are drawn better than on your average cardboard sign.

Facts. The amount of horribly, illegibly scrawled messages you see at protests. Luckily the worst offenders don't tend to make it onto social media, understandably.

I dunno. This is more meaningful than an ACAB sign.

You're making a sign, not writing the abstract to a political science paper. You get like a dozen syllables, max.

You messed with the wrong guy. I'm going to protest the fascist restriction of syllables going on here.

Maybe when we didn't have phones to constantly take photos, but you could literally take a picture of many "too long" signs and read them at your own pace.

literally! the internet and photo sharing has become so important to activism and protest

this account is either a silly troll or is choosing to die on a very short and soggy hill

Your solution to this nonsense is taking a picture of a sign to read later?

As I just did with the post yes. Someone took a picture of the sign to look at later, and I enjoyed it.

Now imagine taking a picture of a bunch of signs at once.

Edit: it's like, you can go to a museum and take a picture of a long description then go sit down nearby. I like looking at things but your boys got back problems haha

And yet, it's the one showing up on social media for discussion post-protest.

am I the only one who counted? it's only 25. you could have used the real number you lazy ass.

Pretty hostile, you doing ok buddy?

Welcome to Lemmy, where we wonder why we aren't growing very quickly

internet users be like, i can’t read anything longer than a short tweet actually

edit: also ignoring that this poster made it to the internet and got >1k reads and counting on one platform alone. 😛 epitome of nitpicking the unnecessary

Yeah, internet users and their centuries of punchy picket signs …

Meanwhile someone else is upvoted for "If your beliefs fit on a sign, think harder."
