MAGA shit, thin blue line, black US flag, etc...

In case a civil war actually happens, it's good to know the enemy.

All of that plus any "Punisher" logo on clothing or vehicles.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 53 points 4 days ago (6 children)

Especially that punisher skull motif with the Trump hair. That takes the cringe to a new level.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago

The punisher would shoot them for that and not look back

Cybertruck drivers.

ETA: Regular Tesla drivers I give the benefit of the doubt to, because they might have bought their car before they realized Musk is a Nazi dickhead man-child. But cybertruck drivers basically knew and didn't care (or still fanboi'd over him).

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 26 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I saw a cybertruck the other day with a "Bought it before we knew Elon was crazy" bumper sticker on it. I wanna give them the benefit of the doubt, since I myself was pro-Elon once upon a time, but c'mon. I know not everyone stays plugged into the news cycle, but you didn't know until after you bought the cybertruck?

A certain little moustache was generally popular and harmless before Hitler came along, but after the war it forever became the Hitler moustache and shaving one's face in that style nowadays invites the comparison whether or not one means it that way.

In the UK you can see what year most cars were bought based on the license plate. I absolutely give Tesla owners the benefit of the doubt if it was bought before this year - although Musk showed something of his true personality in 2018.

But the other day I saw a dude driving a Tesla Y with a '25 plate and I absolutely judged him for buying a car fronted by an actual nazi.

For me, it’s a “thin blue line” sticker. I immediately think the person is racist.

[–] artifex@lemmy.zip 59 points 4 days ago

On two occasions I made a louder-than-necessary comment to my kids to stay away from those people (MAGA hats too) while they were within earshot and then listed reasons why. Got some dirty looks, but no one ever approached me. Because they're a bunch of feckless cowards.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 32 points 4 days ago

Same if they wear a MAGA hat, have a MAGA bumper sticker, or fly a Trump flag.

If I see a bumper sticker that mentions jesus, I definitely assume that car is driven by the least christ-like person imaginable, and give them space.

I’m amazed nobody has mentioned a confederate flag (or confederate anything) yet. My first assumption would be that they’re racist and proud of it.

[–] white_nrdy@programming.dev 33 points 4 days ago (2 children)

At this point that falls in line with MAGA gear to me, which lots of people have mentioned

One of those big trucks but they are immaculate, clean, scuff free. So not used for they are meant for: working.

Now they are just taking up space and being dangerous to the public just to try and help prop up someone's ego.

Cigarette smokers. Mostly because I hate the smell and smokers have their sense of smell damaged so much they don't notice. And sometimes when it sticks to their clothing I just can't be around them at all.

I really love how there's one conservative going through the comments and ascribing a solitary downvote to any mention of conservative values, like trucks, crosses, Cybertrucks (cause it's super specific) and the like.

Hey asshole. How does it feel to be part of a community that hates your fucking guts?

MAGA gear. A Tesla, esp a Cyberdump. A Calvin Pissing sticker. A Jesus shirt; crosses display faith but a shirt or hat says "this is my whole entire identity". Any Suburban, F150, Super Duty, or similarly oversized American SUV or pickup. I know you never haul anything and your groceries are all in the cab.

I try not to judge people for what they're wearing or carrying, but sometimes it's difficult.

Just today, I saw a guy in all black, sunglasses, black cap, etc, standing waving a Don't Tread on Me flag.

Beside a Pride parade.

In Edinburgh, Scotland.

WTAF?

I'm Brazilian and live in a hot coastal city, so I usually pay attention to people wearing hoodies at weird times of the day. Bonus points if they're wearing a hoodie and shorts (it usually mean that guy is concealing something in it, if the guy was actually cold they wouldn't be wearing shorts).

I also tend to be kinda annoyed at people with christian stickers on their cars.

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 27 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (4 children)

Oh man, you'd hate the Midwest. Aside from the obvious reasons, there's a baffling culture of white dudes who only wear shorts and hoodies no matter the temp outside.

One of those giant stickers meant to make it look like there’s a tied up woman in the back of their pickup.

At best, it’s advertising that they think abusing women is funny.

Pop Figures

I judge them for shitty spending choices.

Why buy a piece of plastic that sits in the box, and that box sits on a shelf. Theres literally no point to them. You can walk into the mall, look at all the pop figures in each store, and you just had the same experience as you would have if they sat in your house.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Granted, I also can’t stand their art style, but you just described every piece of decorative art. The only requirement of art is for someone to say it is.

A ute with no mud on it. Either it's brand new, or they have no idea what the point of a ute is, so they bought an overpriced car which is worse for them than an average station wagon

[–] Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Had to look up what a ute was, for any Americans it's a pickup truck. And I was going to say the exact same thing, judging people for having a spotless pickup.

Beats headphones.

"Oh yeah those look cool. Did you want something that sounds good though?"

[–] shadshack@sh.itjust.works 33 points 4 days ago (4 children)

I used to work retail and was helping a college aged guy pick out some new headphones. He was deciding between some Beats and some Bose headphones. I literally asked him "do you want something that sounds good or looks good" and was amazed he actually said "looks good". So I reluctantly sold him the Beats.
