Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I agree with this especially since it seems like already stressed out cash strapped people are the likeliest to be scanning these. I mean if the goal in and of itself is just to piss people off and you think that's productive/worthy by itself then go for it I guess
You sound like the people complaining about BLM blocking traffic
maybe I'm wrong and this is actually very effective propaganda but it's very difficult for me to imagine a scenario where any minds are changed by this (again if influencing views is the actual goal and not just Triggering The Libs or whatever). I get the impulse to shake people up but it's not clear to me the value of pushing violent images in front of random probably lower income people as opposed to yknow messing with actual ghouls in power
It’s not an either or, there are people propagandizing the masses and there are people breaking into arms factories. Every little bit helps
Stressed out cash strapped people don't normally buy $8 lattes.
If this is a coupon for $1 off a loaf of bread, you might have a point.
I was thinking of McD's mainly
I have zero fucks for respectability politics, or concern about angering the average American, after a year of genocide.
My fellow Americans and I deserve nothing less than the gulag, my hand is stained with the blood of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, I will not shed a tear because some wine mom saw a shocking picture when she wanted to get a discount on her cancer-causing slop.
I hope it pisses her off. I hope she spends the next 6 months outraged, I hope she writes to her Congress people, I hope the image of a toddler waving his little stumps around and crying is seared into her brain for the rest of her life. And In 4 years when she's demanding everyone vote for Gavin newsom, I look forward to triggering her by reminding her that Joe Biden stood there and supplied the bomb that took that took that child's hands, and that she, just like I, bear responsibility for that crime against humanity.
