I still see one around the corner from me. They used to have the BLM sign too, but now it's just the "No matter" sign.

As far as the reason why someone would plant one of these stupid things in their yard? I bet they just wanted to let everyone else know how special, enlightened and tolerant they are.

Love your style. You need to get a SUV now that is painted green and white and drive the interstate. Window tint would be a plus.


The local lavandería is huge, maybe 100 washers and 120 dryers. The TVs are all on Mexican and Central American stations, the only language spoken is Spanish, and all the signs are in Spanish.

When I need a giggle, I strap on a Glock 22, two spare magazines, wear tacticool trousers, a blue shirt, a blue windbreaker, and an earphone for my mobile and go to the local lavandería at 1000 on Saturday morning.

The first time I did this the place was packed when I arrived, and there were no free comforter-sized machines.

Ten minutes later there is the staff and maybe ten others left. Clothing was left in washers and dryers and the staff were pulling it out and either drying or folding it.

Now I go do it just to see the response.

Someone here called it "virtue signaling." Wiki says that's "...the conspicuous expression of moral values done primarily with the intent of enhancing standing within a social group."

I’ll have to look, but I remember a recent editorial by a snowflake on why virtue-signaling isn’t really virtue-signaling.

Set up a tent in their yard and see how they react, knock on their door and ask for food, if they throw a fit just point to their sign.

Our neighborhood and the adjacent neighborhoods here in Durham, have those stupid signs along with Resist signs and the crayola flag.

I am finding out it is a very hipster, liberal area.

My sister always had this mind set even 20 years ago. We always argued regarding actions taken against oppressive regimes. She believed peace, talking and sanctions would work and make people change. I believed 7.62mm then now 25mm

Of course. The questioning of propaganda will not be tolerated.


Maybe living in an HOA does have some advantages. No stinking signs like that. Smile
Yeah--that occurred to me, too.

They hemmed and hawed, because they couldnt say anything, and I cussed them out and said they were nothing but politically-correct, stupid folks, who are just virtue signalling, nothing more.

Since we the va governers seat, this is the best and funniest thing i have read. Thank you.
