Umm acktually, defacing US legal tender is a federal crime sweaty? Where's your civility? We cannot stoop to their level!

This hits as hard as when reddit atheists would black out "in god we trust" with sharpie.

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 19 points 3 weeks ago

idk maybe we, here, of all places should support defacing anticommunism.

[-] dead@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago
[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 7 points 3 weeks ago

ok? we'll assume for the sake of argument that any of that happened, and your problem is with the redditor and not the anticommunists who put it on the money in the first place, or the person who threw a tantrum over it?

You'll notice that the screenshot which I just made says that the post happened almost 18 years ago. I wonder what this person is doing now and if they're still drawing on dollar bills.

I don't have any problem with it. I just think it's silly and pointless. It makes me laugh. I recall there being many similar incidents of people drawing over the 'in god we trust' around 2010. Seems to have mostly been forgotten.

Writing "Trump is a pedophile" on dollars is to the same effect.

It reminds me of the Occupy Wallstreet era.

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago

"Around the world"? You know most of the world doesn't use USD, right?

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 32 points 4 weeks ago

It kind of does, due to the petrodollar and SWIFT and IMF and World Bank. It's the global reserve currency.

Though a lot of that isn't actual literal paper dollar bills, just numbers on a computer screen, but still.

[-] Orcocracy@hexbear.net 8 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, the bills don’t circulate normally anywhere except the US. Even in the couple of countries that are dollarized that’s not normal circulation and is quite precarious. The digital dollars only exist in the computers of bankers and are basically spreadsheet placeholders for whatever currencies are actually used at the origin and destination of whatever material thing is being traded around the world.

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 19 points 4 weeks ago

Sadly not true. Many countries accept physical USD.

[-] ScientifficDoggo@lemmy.zip 12 points 4 weeks ago

Not entirely true. The USD is used globally in trade, and lots of illegal activities.

If you really want to own trump, print your own money! That'll show him

The DOJ might issue an "emergency" ruling that defacing new currency carries the death penalty. Legal experts laugh at this but are very careful to hedge as in "This case should be thrown out." Within weeks GOP SCOTUS issues a bizarre shadow docket ruling that agrees with the DOJ. And - just like that - defacing currency with Trump's signature can get you executed.

The method of execution is first undecided. But Trump says "People are going to die on teevee so it's gotta look good for teevee. Firing squad probably maybe. Firing squad good object lesson. Probably best."

How's he gonna slip outta this one!?

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 9 points 3 weeks ago

I hope somonengets a stamp of his Epstein birthday card outline and have his signature on the bottom.

[-] Bazell@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 weeks ago

You should do it using ultraviolet marker also. Will increase chances of spreading without being noticed too soon.

[-] FidelChadstro@hexbear.net 7 points 4 weeks ago

I'm kinda ok with this one

[-] oliveoil@hexbear.net 5 points 4 weeks ago

If I am in a position where I have to accept US currency, and I see that - I am not accepting the currency.

[-] FidelChadstro@hexbear.net 5 points 4 weeks ago

"fuck" preceding his signature is easier

[-] volcel_olive_oil@hexbear.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

"when interviewed later, Mr Passport King declined to answer if he himself would even do it. no pen was found in his pockets" <- I am predicting the future
