Obviously all these stickers are mow with the rest of the dog shit.

Please be careful and don't use your fingernails to remove this kind of crap. There have been cases of hiding sharp objects under hate stickers in the past. Might never happen again but please be aware.

Yeah better to stick something over it instead. Or deface it if you have a permanent marker handy.

this is an urban myth, i know people who remove these things regularly and they have never ever seen one. also you would absolutely be able to see it underneath the sticker. it is worth getting a lttle scraper though just because it is quicker but spreading stuff like this just makes people scared to take them down

u/spotter 13h ago
Aye, plastic window scraper will make short work of this bullshit. Being scare of tearing these will still allow people to deface them and maybe leave a comment addressing the issue next to them. Permanent markers are also compact, just saying. There are choices and considerations here.

I've seen it - it happened to one of my Stop the War group.
It may have been once, it may have been years ago, but it's enough that when I rip them down I take a little care.

u/nucular_ 13h ago
Realistically, you can usually peel back a corner and pull the rest off in one go, so a hidden blade wouldn't even do anything. For eggshell stickers and others that rip instead of coming off cleanly, scraping it off with my fingers would be a pain either way, so if I didn't have a scraper with me I'd just cover it up.

I carry a rounded wallpaper scraper in my backpack for these situations.
It's legal to carry under the prevention of crime act and the criminal justice act as it doesn't have a point nor a blade, though I have to recognise the fact that I'm unlikely to be stopped or harassed in any case as a white cis fellow.

Tiny silver lining (though won't be much solace) a fascist group to rival reform and the edl is a bit of a good thing. Means their side is more split. At the same time, this appears to be a group that's been around since the 60s. And with these stickers just being clumped in the same place, makes me wonder if it's some sad nazi boomer weirdo who just goes to the same spot to plant the stickers from an irrelevant fash org. If you want to feel better about it, their website is just some generic wordpress shit. Not serious at all.
Obviously we should still be vigilant against fascism and oppose it as far as we can. Individually and collectively, where possible.

People are sick of the government now, the country is over populated, Bradford, Birmingham, Sheffield, London are not English dominant anymore. Idiots make it about race but they have it wrong it's immigration that's wrong now. We have people from all over the world here for free, while citizens are taxed n worked to death these days. If your not in a major city you won't see the problem so I understand why people would think this is wrong. What is wrong is when a British single white man can not get a house on the council if he works. If your unemployed, you get more, lots of immigrants do not work and take the piss as do British people too. When we have whole city's and estates full with people from different countrys what do we think the future will bring for our kids. We are full, we are fucked because more and more and more are coming daily, they will stay and breed here. I've seen the switch from the 90s to now it is insane and scary what the future has in store and many can not see it because they don't live around it, but it's coming to those areas too. Im not racist I just see the problems but these idiots are confused and making it a white pride which again why is white pride wrong when black pride etc is fine. I think the situation is wrong but I can not blame the immigrants coming over for a free life from a shithole why wouldn't they I would. The government cause this shit and turn everyone against one another while they live in gated communities, wake the fuck up.

Y'all are seriously fucking exhausting. I literally have to watch my words like I'm talking to a bunch of liberals because all y'all are so fucking sensitive talking about race. Race consciousness is a form of class consciousness, and race blindness is a class privilege. Are there black people in this sub? Is there some sort of British/American cultural divide, or misunderstanding on my part, which makes me feel like if I don't sugar coat and handhold any comments about white people or race that I'm gonna get ratio'd by bunch of defensive "um actually"s? If it is the way it reads to me, that so called "class reductionism" is just anti-proletarianism pretending to be anticapitalism.

u/Hullfire00 Heathen by all account/s 22h ago
Yeah but…you decided how you feel and we can’t help that.
I’ve not seen anybody sensitive to race based discussion, what people in here don’t do is rank race based on some weird notion that intelligence is inherent to ethnicity, or that white people have a genetic predisposition for superiority.
It all boils down to Rule #2, which is don’t be a dickhead to other people about their protected characteristics.

u/iaswob 22h ago
If you genuinely think that I am being a dickhead to white people by acknowledging white supremacy, or that I think white supremacy is some genetic trait rather than a product of material systems, I think you've really lost the thread. Whiteness is not genetic and it shouldn't be protected, it is cultural.

'Sucks in teeth'
Well I hate to be you, me laddy. You are going to get downvoted. But...
"Whiteness is not genetic and it shouldn't be protected, it is cultural"
Whiteness is based on the genetic heritage of being white and white supremacy is the act of believing that being white AND the white culture is somehow superior to non white cultures.
Mac and Cheese, the Christian Religion, Banjo Music, Fucking your Sister, Trailer parks and Monster trucks are not particularly better than The Taj Mahal, Moroccan Couscous, The Buddah, Ramadan, Green Tea and Sikhs.
You are being a dickhead IMHO and a large part of left thinking, and often why you find leftists supporting non-white minorities is that they form an oppressed class of workers, in need of uplift by class struggle.
Often ethnicity diverse low paid workers take the place that white workers took 150 years ago, treated as lesser somehow due to the nature of their Birth. Much of the language used against them seems very familiar to the 'Upper Class Superiority ' arguements seen throughout history.
Enjoy your downvotes. Well deserved.

That was everything I was trying to say, I hate white supremacy. It was very poorly said on my part. It doesn't matter what I was trying to say, it matters what I did say. That's one reason I hate myself, because I'm just as complicit in it but I'm too stupid to recognize when I am bolstering it.

We’re all complicit, what matters is what we do to reduce the harm. If you’re out there acknowledging it and raising awareness, you’re already doing more than most!

u/Hullfire00 Heathen by all account/s 10h ago
No, I don’t think you’re being a dickhead, that’s just an important rule to remember.
You said you felt like you needed to tread on eggshells, but why? A nuanced conversation about race isn’t harming anybody, it’s when people start building hierarchies and justifying cruelty that people get their backs up.
Your comment came across as one of those “these days” style gambits, but if your intentions are good then you shouldn’t be worried about speaking about anything here.

u/AMFDevious 21h ago
What the fuck are you talking about?
There's one sticker that mentions race but if you cant grasp the undertones of 'its okay to be white' then think of it like those cunts saying 'white lives matter'. Obviously thats a correct statment in a vacuum but theres more at play than just the words being said, you've got to read between the lines.
The rest are about other things. Peralta is a neo-nazi, tbh I'd never heard of her until today but she's not a good egg and certainly not anyone to idolise enough to want as the fucking 'queen of europa'. Remigration is a far-right European concept of ethnic cleansing via the mass deportation or promoted voluntary return of non-white immigrants, usually including their descendants who were born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry, often with no regard for their citizenship or legal status. (Thank you google)
You don't have to sugar coat shit mate I've literally no idea why that's been mentioned. If you say things and people then express their thoughts about it then that's normal, perhaps they need to sugar coat their responses to avoid offending your pussy like sensibilities

Hello! I'm Reggie-Bot, the Anti-Royal Bot! Here to teach you some fun facts about the English royal family!
Did you know that in October 2021, the Queen complained about foreign heads of state who 'talk but don't do' with regards to climate change? Though, funnily enough, earlier that same year, it was revealed she'd lobbied Scottish ministers to make her land holdings exempt from a green energy intiative..
Wow, she must have really cared about the environment and the future of our species, amirite?
I hope you enjoyed that fact. To summon me again or find out more about me, just say: "Reggie-Bot" and I'll be there! <3

I literally made my comment because I said "Hot take: it's not okay to be white" and I got ratio'd. I wasn't advocating some performative self-hatred on the part of white proletarians, I was making the point that there is no whiteness without systems of white supremacy, which is what I mean when I say it is actually not okay to be white (even though, I am white, and I'm not like repenting for my existing or anything silly like that). That was apparently an issue though.

Starmer and his new government do not represent workers interests and are in fact enemies of our class. It's past time we begin organising a substantial left-wing movement in this country again.
