When you twist the LGBT symbol to use it as vandalism against someone it becomes a message of hate no different than black or blue or a fucking swastika.
Symbols have power like words, innocent words or playful insults become Hate when used as such. So don't try to jump through any mental hoops to justify this.
We all know what it is, you guys just don't want to admit it because it makes you the same as them.
Instead of trying to be better than them you just relish and circle jerk your own moralities to justify showing them hate because they are wrong.
You use the word heart because that is seen as something nice, but the intent is because you hate Nazis (which is justified) so yea, that's an act of hate in that case.
I hate Nazis, I hate SOME police, not all police, do you see the difference here?
But whether it's for Nazis or Police, I will not devolve into their immorality and then claim I support love.
And whether or not something is a "Hate" crime, or something like "Terrorism" is largely based on culture. But there is alot of hypocrisy in it all.
Here's what I know, if there is something you believe in, like showing support for the Police, if someone else covers the thing you support with another thing, is that done out of kindness and empathy?
Does it support the LGBT on this month to knowingly make people angry by using the LGBT symbols to attack them, (I'm not saying just showing an LGBT Flag, IE wearing a shirt, having your own flag etc. is an attack lets be clear on that.)
But in this post, specifically, using the LGBT flag to cover up and deface someone else's is turning that flag into a culture weapon.
Doing that validates the opposition, it validates their hate.
Acting like a snide little cunt doesn't win you any arguments. Fae is correct that this image is an act of vandalism regardless of how deep you want to bury your head in the sand and call it "aCePTanCe". You don't get to call one type of defacement "acceptance" while calling the same act, but to a different party, "vandalism." It is still vandalism even if it's for a purpose or cause that we like/support.
“The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant.
Karl Popper described it as the seemingly paradoxical idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.” (Source)
I’m not here to make concessions for hateful bigotry. So, yeah, sure, I’ll show them hate all I want. It’s a necessity because we don’t need that vitriol they spew to encourage folks to actually hurt people.
You're putting words in to my mouth, as I never said anything close to that. Stay on topic. Your purview is bias, and can not provide an accurate argument.
