    Fine message, but if you have 33 words on your protest sign you’re really missing the mark.

      At least they got the words neatly written and balanced on the cardboard, and the fists are drawn better than on your average cardboard sign.

        Facts. The amount of horribly, illegibly scrawled messages you see at protests. Luckily the worst offenders don’t tend to make it onto social media, understandably.

        You’re making a sign, not writing the abstract to a political science paper. You get like a dozen syllables, max.

          Maybe when we didn’t have phones to constantly take photos, but you could literally take a picture of many “too long” signs and read them at your own pace.

            literally! the internet and photo sharing has become so important to activism and protest

            this account is either a silly troll or is choosing to die on a very short and soggy hill

              As I just did with the post yes. Someone took a picture of the sign to look at later, and I enjoyed it.

              Now imagine taking a picture of a bunch of signs at once.

              Edit: it’s like, you can go to a museum and take a picture of a long description then go sit down nearby. I like looking at things but your boys got back problems haha

      internet users be like, i can’t read anything longer than a short tweet actually

      edit: also ignoring that this poster made it to the internet and got >1k reads and counting on one platform alone. 😛 epitome of nitpicking the unnecessary

      Meanwhile someone else is upvoted for “If your beliefs fit on a sign, think harder.”
