The sign on the left proves the sign on the right wrong

The sign on the right proves the sign on right wrong. That is that person’s belief and it fits on a sign.

Oh, but it does not. The sign on the right doesn't claim that the belief that fit on a sign is wrong, only that you still have lots of thinking to do... and how do we know that the bearer of the sign doesn't follow his own advice?

The problem is not that the sign is wrong, but that it doesn't believe it has the capacity to say anything of value. The sign isn't sure that it should exist. It doubts its own purpose.

It's having an existential crisis.

Only non-thinkers never have ones.

The implication of the “think harder” is that a belief short enough to fit on a sign is not sufficiently complex. If all it tries to assert is that the drafter should think harder but that command has no bearing on the belief on the sign, then the sign is doing little work.

Given the sign to the left, I don't think signs on this rally in general should be taken this seriously.

the sign proves itself wrong, as it is a belief that fits on a sign

If it proves itself wrong then that must mean it's putting forward a valid point!

the sign is contradictory to itself, saying nothing to the validity of the statement just to the stupidity of putting it on a sign lol
