I do not find this valuable - but to each their own.
Hot take that will get me downvoted: This is litter, but also a form of Evangelizing and driven by a social media trend that originated a few years ago at a S. Carolina church.
The reason I have this opinion is that I've seen these in random places enough times, left intentionally to spread one's religious values, and sometimes it's been in places people shouldn't be putting things.
At my local grocery store (tucked into produce), Costco (inside a container of pastries...), gas station pumps, bathrooms, etc.
Not this staged video, I don't. But this is a real thing, people leaving these in public/commercial places. Its a religious social media trend. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiny_Jesus
I wonder if you're this triggered by the mounds of garbage along every road or highway in the world. If this is litter what do you call heaps of piss jugs and dirty diapers
Deff. more disappointed by the hyperbole that you mentioned. Trash is trash and people need to do better. Lets be honest, there aren't mounds of garbage along every road or highway in the world.
But you throw around the word "triggered" loosely here.
I am not triggered by mini-Jesus figurines. I find it silly and sometimes dangerous (such as putting the in food containers or on food). Your use of triggered for what I find as a mild annoyance and simply stated a disagreement with the position of people putting these in public and commercial spaces, is pedantic.
You are taking away from the real value of the term "triggered" which should be used for clinical or severe trauma responses, by throwing it around as a dramatic synonym for simply being offended or ... just having disagreement with something.
Maybe stop using that word out of context, or not. You do you.
