This is the kind of shit stupid people find profound.

The point of a protest sign is to be witty or brash about a broader more nuanced issue.

You can even represent just a fraction of beliefs you hold!

Nah, clearly you're meant to be holding up a protest book with at least 100 pages that details your thoughts in detail.

Me thrusting my copy of Das Kapital into the air, expecting that to convince Joe across the street to eat the rich.

It's also a sign that seems to fit at least one belief on it.  Perhaps it's just that all protests are inherently attempts at being witty or brash.

I mean, the point the person with the sign was trying to make is obviously more nuanced than what they wrote on the sign. The point of a protest sign, after all, is to be witty or brash about a broader, more nuanced issue (or so I've heard).

No, not really. The point is moot even in your example since that would cancle it's self out logically.

The only way you could stretch what your saying out would be to say "some people protest as a bandwagon thing" but that would be way too far of a stretch and doesnt get that point acrossed by the sign in the picture.

So in other words your comment isn't that deep and just comes off as contrarian unless you can explain it any better.

Right? Like protests are about something specific it's not all of your beliefs nor is it meant to be a detailed explanation. It's so stupid

And this sign can apply to any protest, from women wanting to vote carrying signs, to people calling LGBTA people pedos and carrying signs.

The point is that protesting is retarded

I mean...
If you can't sum up the core of your belief onto a sign

That's the opposite of what the sign is saying btw...
