    In all my years of riding trains, I’ve indeed never witnessed that. Usually everyone just tries really hard to ignore them.

    I believe OP has yet to see concerted action against minorities. Good luck to you.

        I believe the point is that you can’t trust mobs to police justice in society as the meme suggests.

          “Mobs” is a loaded word. This isn’t vigilante justice. This is how social systems work.

          Sorry, I thought this was “lefty memes,” not “bootlicker memes.” My mistake.

            This is how social systems work.

            Forcing minorities off transportation/out of businesses/etc. was also how racist social systems work. Sure, society has improved enough that it is currently more likely to have bad actors be the ones being excluded now, but history shows that socially enforced norms can be used for good and evil.

      Looks like the people who are hurt are the ones downvoting a perfectly good meme. Just because y’all let bigots use you as a doormat doesn’t mean we’re all pathetic cowards.

    Either I don’t get it, as a non anglophone. Or did people force you out of a tram, OP?

    bigot: a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.

      The people getting forced off the train are the ones being bigots. For example, people who make comments against gay people, women, trans people, or black people. People who act like that get forced off at the next stop. Not just bigots, but I’ve seen people taking creepshots of young women get pressured off the train/bus as well. No cops needed. Does this make sense?

      It doesn’t happen every time, but it happens enough in certain neighborhoods. I’ve seen it multiple times.

        Well that’s a good thing. But after also googling ‘STEMlords’ I’m sure you’re confused because the level of education has nothing to do with that. If anything, it’s fair to say that intelligent or educated people rarely bother others compared to… well idiots

        Edit: i mean i like your meme but the bottom text is stupid

          This sounds very classist to me. Level of education has nothing to do with being a good person. If you’re educated, but you’re too cowardly to stand up for what’s right, then your education is a complete waste.

    I don’t get it, how is this a lefty meme? It’s saying we don’t need a functional government? Isn’t that anarchist or libertarian or something?

      Yes it’s anarchist, which is leftist

      You could Google that instead of asking someone you obviously just want to dunk on

      Go away
