Unfortunately, it seems like most people not on Lemmy are with them.
This is highly questionable evidence, but I’ve noticed more anti police messages in graffiti and restroom walls. And I don’t get weird looks when I say “police shouldn’t exist” anymore.
I think there might be a tiny bit of selection bias if you’re looking at messages today were written illegally.
Of course, most of the messages I see every day are legal. The reason I’m interested in vandalism is because the author wants people to know it, but is safeguarding against repercussions. It reduces the bias towards saying what’s good for you personally.
Why’s he oinking (confusedly)?
Cause they dont let smart folks become pigs.
The elites are cultivating an us vs them culture, but the cops aren’t masterminding it.
most people are against you (them)
That has not been my experience, but it’s subjective right? I live in a conservative area. So also generally pro our current law enforcement system.
