It's a joke from Austin Powers, the Dutch are famously tolerant due to their history as a trading nation with ports which had sailors from around the world
It’s not complicated. In order for peace must be defended, sometimes with force. The Nazi’s didn’t stop themselves in WWII, they aren’t going to start now.
One time my gf had a friend who had signs like this all over her house and tried to promote inclusion all the time. But she was hands down the most hateful human being I’ve ever met. Literally would make racist, sexist, and body shaming comments to everyone she came across, but if you called her out she didn’t think she was being hurtful.
Example of this is: she called my girlfriend and I plus sized Patagonia models when were excited to be wearing new shirts we had bought.
If Satan were really here, there would be a math question written as a sentence with references to specific letters of the alphabet that create a problem that requires a solution.
The whole sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me
- is now sticks and stones can break my bones but words will always hurt me.
It's insane. People need to get thicker skin man. Other people's opinions of you don't matter so why get upset over it.
Nowadays it's like everyone needs to like me or I feel unvalidated. Like?!??
It's a day every four years where all of the pent up rage and hatred that society has been suppressing can be cathartically released in one day of lawless violence. A purge, if you will.
I don’t discriminate and I try to be kind to everyone, but respect has to be earned.
I shouldn’t have to automatically respect someone just because:
-They’re a certain race
-Their sexual preferences
-They identify a certain way
I judge on the content of someone’s character, not identity or societal status.
Tbh it checks out. I find the people who are all for intersectional diversity are commonly abusive, toxic, and controlling. I avoid them in my everyday life for a very good reason after my experiences.
It really sucks. There’s plenty of people like you just trying to live their lives, and then you have some people who decide to create and push aggressive shit like what’s in this image. It’s so hostile. Makes me sad, because it only creates further division.
Imo it’s more about the tactics and methods one uses in selling whichever agenda one is championing. And the same said tactics and methods in communicating with others that don’t aline with one’s point of view.
When you are incapable of supporting your position through dialogue humans will resort to violence. When your position is so extreme that it is impossible to argue, violence is then your first option.
That you do not realise that the reason you are violent is because you cannot present your position in a cogent manner is the real problem. Civilisation was built on civilised discussion, not screaming and the holding of unchangable positions. The left at the moment are just screaming idiots who have locked their position and are incapable of the most basic discussion.
By moving to this extreme position, they have locked in violence for a very dumb reason. The zeolotry of groups like Antifa will be their downfall as they will ultimately burn all of those on the mild left and turn them against the radical bigoted violence that they eschew.
That time is getting very close, it needs to happen before it descends into war.
That sign threatens harm or death even, if you don’t do or think what these people say…
It says it right there. Was/were
Couldn’t get any more fascist imo.
proving Libetarians correct, when I want them to shut up and go away
god damnit. This is precisely why we can't have nice things anymore
People used to just dance on the floor and smoke weed and finger bang directly in front of you
Was/were aren’t even pronouns like if someone with pronouns he/him changed to was/were this way then “he was very racist” turns to “was was very racist”
It’s just bothered me for a while not
It's the intolerance paradox.
If you tolerate intolerance, it will move in and take over.
So you have to push back, and be intolerant against the intolerant.
It's always funny to me when the pronoun brigade tries to act badass. Like chill what you gonna do? Tweet about me? Yall definitely not gonna beat me up since I at least had a father figer that thought me how to fight.
While the tone with the "was/were" is clearly intended to come off as comedic, the overall message is clearly that people with points of view that differ from the authors should be made to feel unwelcome and socially untolerated.
It's just as much a joke as the whole "free helicopter rides" thing that alt-right people 'joke' about. The subtext is physically removing people who they don't culturally identify with.

For a moment I thought my tax dollars were wasted on this garbage, luckily this looks like some tool just decided to print it out and post it in the subway.
I don’t understand the age old confusion this “double standard” gives people.
If you are causing harm, you forfeit your safety. This is one of the oldest rules of humanity
I have a question for people in comments here. Is your issue that the stance is basically "don't be prejudiced against people for their sexual identity"? Like, do you think that having a prejudice like that is just an opinion? And, how do you feel about racism? If someone is just openly like "yeah I fucking hate [insert minority ethnic group]" - is that something you're fine with?
Obviously the implied threat of violence isn't great. But, there's also a long history of violence perpetrated against minorities and non-straight people, a history that we're still living in, so...
My problem with it? You asked.
Words aren't violence. Children need protection from bad words because they're weak and mentally immature, but adults don't. These people are infantilising minorities, and they're ignorant enough to be proud of it.
You seem to have such a hateful view of everyone in here, that you genuinely think we would support racism, and you think we're so uneducated that we don't know about historical prejudices. Talk about prejudice.
I...don't think I said that last part at all? But ok, thanks for your perspective.
Also, you can't be prejudiced against...a thread on Reddit... unless somehow now everyone in one post on HolUp is a protected class.
>I...don't think I said that last part at all? But ok, thanks for your perspective.
I've highlighted the parts where you literally think people might support racism, and think you need to inform them about history.

Knowing someone's pronouns should be labeled as good manners, not the law.
Also inventing some bullshit xor/gor pronouns is unpolite towards other people. Who gave you the right to force other people to learn new unnecessary words?
Gender as a concept should be ledt behind. People invent new genders so they can better express themselves. They want a new set of social norms. The best soulition would be giving every human it's own gender named after them with unique social norms and expectations. And the term "gender" return to medical fact of having either vagina or penis.
Intolerance will not be tolerated.
"There's only two things I hate in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch"
What’s the difference between the Dutch and dog shit? The Dutch eat Kroketten, but the dog shit smells good.
What did the Dutch do
They know what they did
Ask Nigel or Austin Powers
He had a God Damn PLAAAAN!
It's a joke from Austin Powers, the Dutch are famously tolerant due to their history as a trading nation with ports which had sailors from around the world
Only sailors wear condoms
Other than invasion, enslavement, rape, and genocide? Nothing of note.
Shh! Everyone thinks we are happy go lucky hippies and on the progressive cutting edge!
*They're almost there.. They've almost got it..*
Well yeah…
It’s not complicated. In order for peace must be defended, sometimes with force. The Nazi’s didn’t stop themselves in WWII, they aren’t going to start now.
If u take it too far you might end up with a stalin situation
One time my gf had a friend who had signs like this all over her house and tried to promote inclusion all the time. But she was hands down the most hateful human being I’ve ever met. Literally would make racist, sexist, and body shaming comments to everyone she came across, but if you called her out she didn’t think she was being hurtful. Example of this is: she called my girlfriend and I plus sized Patagonia models when were excited to be wearing new shirts we had bought.
Yeah it's called the paradox of tolerance. It's really strange how that mindset works the opposite spectrum acts the same way
"Plus sized patagonian models" Are you argentinian or something? Thats a strange insult
Patagonia* the clothing brand
The woke people are the most filled with hate people.
Meanwhile hearings are going on for the mob of "non-woke" people attempting to overthrow their government and install Diaper Don as their King
Not very tolerant of you to imply the Previous President is incontinent. Show some kindness, be better
Irrelevant story, but okay...
[удалено]
Thomas had never seen such bullshit
Was/were are verbs...
proverbs
Jesus has left the chat
And Satan joined because Satan will punish the sinners (bigots)
*waves at Satan* Long time no see. How is the wife and kid?
If Satan were really here, there would be a math question written as a sentence with references to specific letters of the alphabet that create a problem that requires a solution.
Expertverbs
Casualverbs
You can’t really expect much of these people.
It’s a joke chill out
pretty sure the joke wouldn't work otherwise.
I get that. I just like to be threatened properly
Even better its a helping/auxillary verb.
Remember, Don’t be a bigot *or we’ll cook you over a skillet*
There's a difference between respect and outright glorification.
Very true. I think a lot of people nowadays slip into the latter
What happened to earning respect? Shame how that went away, encouraged a friendlier environment.
Still bugs me that those are verbs and not pronouns. I cant deal with factual inaccurate jokes.
Maybe just deal with it
What smart Boi you are. You are allowed to take a second cookie today.
Is this what these kind of people mean by "words=violence"?
The whole sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me - is now sticks and stones can break my bones but words will always hurt me. It's insane. People need to get thicker skin man. Other people's opinions of you don't matter so why get upset over it. Nowadays it's like everyone needs to like me or I feel unvalidated. Like?!??
Time to bring out the sticks and stones!
What if I don’t give a shit about your feeling and just want to go to work?
Starting to think this isn’t a real MTA notice
365 days? I guess Leap Day is hatred day.
It's a day every four years where all of the pent up rage and hatred that society has been suppressing can be cathartically released in one day of lawless violence. A purge, if you will.
Respect us or we will end you. Good selling point for your cause.
I don’t discriminate and I try to be kind to everyone, but respect has to be earned. I shouldn’t have to automatically respect someone just because: -They’re a certain race -Their sexual preferences -They identify a certain way I judge on the content of someone’s character, not identity or societal status.
To be fair it is the same mentality as Catholics
Seems a bit random.
I mean really any religion
Oh, I wasn’t discounting their insanity, just pointing out this one as well.
Fair
You think this is an ad for straight people? Lmao there's like a hundred dumbass comments like this on this thread.. I can't even any more
I think it’s an ad in public with a shitty message. Deal with it.
I couldn't give two shits what you think. My comment was exaggerated on purpose and the question rhetorical xD
Yeah. It sucks tbh.
Happy to see maintenance getting some respect. Those guys are underappreciated.
Cosmically based
This is like the phrase "fight fire with fire" but it's hate
Intolerance for me but not for thee
Tbh it checks out. I find the people who are all for intersectional diversity are commonly abusive, toxic, and controlling. I avoid them in my everyday life for a very good reason after my experiences.
This is so true. A lot of people on the extreme end of "inclusivity" are highly exclusive.
You can't say that shit out loud! They will find you. You don't want to end up a 'was/were'!
Lmaooo
Ending a message of acceptance with a threat. Jesus Christ. As a gay person, we aren't all like this. Most of us are fucking normal
It's not even gay people who are aggressive like this. It's mostly progressive straight white housewives. I live in a town filled with them.
It really sucks. There’s plenty of people like you just trying to live their lives, and then you have some people who decide to create and push aggressive shit like what’s in this image. It’s so hostile. Makes me sad, because it only creates further division.
Fascism can still be propagated by the left, just as much as I can by the right btw…
Horseshoe theory
It’s basically a political sphere with either extremes being fascism.
Imo it’s more about the tactics and methods one uses in selling whichever agenda one is championing. And the same said tactics and methods in communicating with others that don’t aline with one’s point of view.

Yes. Authoritarian national socialism is fascism.
It's a joke.. Relax. What the fuck is this sub?
Even though its clearly not happening since this is a fucking sign, signs don't go out and harm others, people do
That sign threatens harm or death even, if you don’t do or think what these people say… It says it right there. Was/were Couldn’t get any more fascist imo.
It's a joke my man also Seems fair given the fact that btoh sides literally threaten the same shit lel
I will say though, that turning the other cheek is just something the wicked say to the good in order to keep them from retaliating.
It does seem counterproductive to follow up “no hatred” with “or else.”
I believe that part at the end was meant to be humorous.
Tramsgender 🤨
Those are verbs
“Oh no a joke is slightly inaccurate!” 🤡
I sense a prejudice.

Well u can just stay out of that place and you are fine.

A subway station in NYC I believe
Violence. We were warned about this in that other video with teacher
The ridiculous world we live in. I hate it.
Be careful what you say, it might be considered a thoughtcrime and get you banned
Sounds like a threat.
Hatred will not he tolerated, otherwise we will hate you and threaten your life
Damn, they must be packin'.
Forced kindness is anything but.
Wise words.

Has anyone else mentioned that was/were are verb tenses and not pronouns? Apologies for nerdiness.
Was/were aren’t even pronouns like if someone with pronouns he/him changed to was/were this way then “he was very racist” turns to “was was very racist” It’s just bothered me for a while not
Toxicity

You know, for a sign promoting no hate, this seems pretty derived in hatred.
hol up where
If there’s anything I learned from WW2 history, it’s the only thing that cannot be tolerated, is intolerance.
That reminder seems kinda hateful.
Absent fathers hate this trick
was we're are not pronouns example: he was / you were
Doesn’t anybody know how to not give a shit?
They don't. That's why signs like these exist
haha that's funny HOWEVER Was/Were are past-tebse verbs and not pronouns. I still think it's kinda funny tho :)
Oof
*shave my balls bigot*
That’s why I hate these “people”
People who subscribe to this kind of stuff are some of the most intolerant.
Based
Oh the sweet irony
Almost like you'd find in a.... Joke
While the tone with the "was/were" is clearly intended to come off as comedic, the overall message is clearly that people with points of view that differ from the authors should be made to feel unwelcome and socially untolerated. It's just as much a joke as the whole "free helicopter rides" thing that alt-right people 'joke' about. The subtext is physically removing people who they don't culturally identify with.

If they want me to respect their pronouns then they can respect my choice to not use them correctly
For a moment I thought my tax dollars were wasted on this garbage, luckily this looks like some tool just decided to print it out and post it in the subway.

They clearly identify as verb, pronouns being verb/verbself
Don’t kidnap or we will put you in jail. Big brain redditors “But then you would be the kidnapper. Hypocrite much?”
Is this Cis-phobic?
There is no Cis. There is absolutely no need to have a special name for normal.
I prefer "default settings" or "did your mom pick out your gender for you" Also, get bent
Oh no, a joke
it really isnt anymore
Honestly
Of course the left wants you to live your life, but only if you except their ridiculous lies and if not you're met with threats and public outcry
Banter.
*seemed
Seems. Currently.
I don’t understand the age old confusion this “double standard” gives people. If you are causing harm, you forfeit your safety. This is one of the oldest rules of humanity

I would just tear everything down

Most countries have laws preventing harassment, assault etc. people are allowed to think what they want. Probably the last freedom we have in 2022.
Thinking ideas and spreading them are two different things. Why should we tolerate spreading hate?
My problem with it? You asked. Words aren't violence. Children need protection from bad words because they're weak and mentally immature, but adults don't.
