Don’t worry everyone, I’m sure someone somewhere is worse and that makes this okay somehow.
A society’s greatness can only be measured by how they treat their most vulnerable citizens.

People who say this are free to let the homeless sleep on their couch or in their yard, but they won’t.
what in the actual fuck is wrong with you?
I mean, I sure as hell wouldn’t do what’s shown in the photo. If I owned property lol ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Butwhatabout foreigners? No, seriously, what about foreigners? And stateless.
This window ledge is private property 🤓
Seating is not all owed.
Ah, I see you are also VerySmart™.
Nice, anti homeless and anti disabled all at once (lack of streetside seating makes getting around challenging for mobility limited people)
And right below a “no human is illegal” poster
This is not anti-homeless. This is anti-idiots sitting on the window sill of the house you live in, making it a gathering place and a nuisance of themselves. A window sill is not a bench in the park.
Also anti elderly. And anti kids. Although for kids EVERY surface is sitting surface.
Great! If the spikes weren’t inclusive trans people might feel excluded from the ban of sleeping on them

We fell in love in a homeless place… We fell in love in a hooOoomess plaaace…
LGBT identity is being exploited by assholes
insert BMW Nazi logo beside the BMW trans logo
Shit like this should be spray painted over
This is a photoshop. It’s not real.
Cool, I didn’t know
They think LGBT is benefited by having more visibility. In reality it puts them center stage for anti-LGBT rhetoric and the world is more antagonistic. In the 90s nobody cared about the gays.
It was illegal to be gay in my western country in the early 90s. Your opinion is wrong and sucks ass
In the 90s nobody cared about the gays.
I know a guy who was put in the hospital in 1997 because some dudes thought he was gay.
You both have a point and have a not point at the same time. LGBT is benefitted by more visibility, because it being denormalized harms people who are gay/trans/etc. In the 90s, gay marriage was illegal, participating in gay culture with other gay people means risking getting arrested with bullshit charges, and someone’s kid being gay was every parent’s worst nightmare (it still is for some people nowadays unfortunately). More visibility and pushing for more rights and the same integration into society that the “in-group” has naturally means that people who are higher in the hierarchy will throw a tantrum and start committing hate crimes and attacking the group. But making others angry is necessary if you want a disprivileged group to have the same accessibility and rights as the ruling group.
No human is illegal.
The irony
That, and the painting, might be put there by people protesting the spikes and not necessarily the owners of these spikes.
Ah yes of course!
My trans homies and I would probably throw a brick through that window… just saying.
Okay, in reality we’d talk to the owner first and explain why this is shitty behavior. The brick is plan B.
You think they don’t know? The point was the meme.
I mean yeah, probably they would know, but it wouldn’t hurt to talk to em. Either way, specific negative feedback from potential customers gives them at least a small incentive to change… not that it’d probably be significant enough to make a difference in this case. But hypothetically, if enough people did get upset about it and it hurt the business’ bottom line, I’d want them to know the reason.
If nothing else, at least they’ll know what the brick is for. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Plan B is for Brick
*on the trans-inclusive anti-homeless spikes
Soon they will sell inclusive bullets in Texas
This concept is liberalism at its finest
Specifically the NIMBYest of NIMBY “the solution is to fund the police” neoliberalism. 🖕
It pokes you if you sit on it?

How can it be that people don’t realize how badly faked this is and what position it is trying to sneak through?

You mean you don’t believe that Hostile architecture exists? Or are you just saying that this specific example doesn’t?

You’re at the top of my comment chain, so I’m replying to agree with you and take this further.
Whoever photoshopped this and the other one with the park bench that’s floating around is trying to pit liberals against each other by making it seem like fighting for trans rights and fighting to house the unhoused are opposed to each other.
For anyone reading this, don’t fall for it.

Sure, except I’m in California where it is two very different fights. Try reversing any LGBTQ Rights and you’ll get tarred and feathered. Suggest the Homeless shouldn’t be hunted in the streets and you also get tarred and feathered.
It’s like living in reverse land where instead of “fiscal responsibility” and “traditional social values” we have “fiscal responsibility” and “progressive social values”.

people fall for this?
Damn, didn’t realize conservatives put that little amount of thought into their political statements.
Literally the best result here is someone goes “yeah, that’s politicians for you, pretending to do something, by displaying something, but actually doing something else” If anything, this is basically commentary on how shitty politics is. More than whatever the fuck anyone else thinks it could possibly be.
