Really highlights the fact that any free speech and naive western sense of freedom in these walled garden is just a button press away from being taken away and that there are no rules or standards. Whenever the owners or their friends feel even slightly displeased, annoyed or god forbid afraid the masks go off and the hammer falls.
They’ve been getting away with their class-war for so long any deviation from norms is alarming. Usually we just talk about black vs white, right vs left, etc.
Except freedom of speech only applies to the government. You can’t yell from your neighbor’s front lawn either if they don’t want you to.
That said, the fact police were sent is BS.
Here’s an image of the playing cards, for anyone who just came to the comments.
No idea why nobody linked it yet, but you can buy them here: https://www.comradeworkwear.com/products/the-playing-cards
Thankfully no one cares when Forbes posts their hit list every year.
I think the cards are hilarious but they have something the other referenced sets (Iraqi, COVID) do not: silhouette targets on the back.
I am by no means defending their removal but cards but maybe don’t give them a plausible excuse to remove them by implying that these cards are for shooting??
if they didn’t want to feel threatened then they shouldn’t run their businesses so provocatively.
Oof, the back of those cards is designed as a shooting target. So much for plausible deniability.
Probably technically falls under free speech regardless.
No different from the dozens of other targets made as targets with the face of political figures centered as the bullseye, imo. If one is fine, it’s all fine.
See who you are not allowed to criticise and you will see who rules you.
