One of my son’s neighbor’s has a Darwin fish bumper sticker. It is a fish with legs, evolving into a land vertebrate. ---

“Who are you to tell me to question Authority?” I’m not sure that’s a real bumper sticker, but it should be. ---

My favourite thing, probably not a meme, was a guy protesting something on TV. He was holding a sign that said “NOT COOL, MAN!”. I thought it was clever, not least because that could apply to almost everything ever. ---

I’ve received some positive comments from my current bumper sticker: “F\_CK PUTIN”, in which the “\_” is the Ukrainian coat of arms. ---

Some years ago (I think it was during the election season of 1988, Bush the Elder / Dukakis, but maybe even before that), when the campaigning was getting especially ugly (by the standards of the time), there was a bumper sticker going around that said: `Don't vote. It only encourages them.` ---

My all time favorite bumper sticker. “The More People I Meet the More I Like my Dog”. ---

I saw one that was a play on the usual “how’s my driving? dial 1-800-get-lost” and it said: “How’s my driving? Tell my mother, she worries.” ---

Back when GW Bush was running for his second term in 2003 / 2004 a car in my office’s parking lot had what I thought at the time was a great bumper sticker: > [@](#): > > Re-defeat > George Bush My what an innocent time that was. We had to defeat Trump several times in 2020 before it stuck and may have to do it a lot more times than that in 2024 and still may not succeed. ---

Back in the 70s, Campus Crusade for Christ put out bumper stickers saying, simply, “I Found It!” The Jewish response was a bumper sticker with a Star of David that read “We Never Lost It.” ---

_Don’t take your organs to Heaven, Heaven knows we need them here._ My beloved sister was an organ donor, and had an Honor Walk at the hospital. I’d never heard of Honor walks it was a relatively new custom, but a wonderful one. ---

> [@Llama\_Llogophile](#): > > Today I saw one that said, _“The formula shortage is an example of how free market capitalism does exactly what right wing fear mongers think socialism will do.”_ > > I haven’t looked this up yet. Sounds plausible. But a much better chance that it’s a straw man argument that applies to just a few hard liners. But I am aware that there’s a difference between skepticism and cynicism. Am I filtering too hard and disregarding some good points? Tis a variant on this meme: 'When Socialists complain about Capitalism, they describe Capitalism. When Capitalists complain about Socialism, they describe Capitalism.’ Which, when you dig into their arguments, is more true than not. ---

“If You Want Peace Work For Justice.” I could pick it apart; it’s not a universal solution to war and unrest, but it’s decent sloganeering. Isn’t justice a good thing? > [@Chronos](#): > > Get Involved > The world is run by those who show up That’s good. > [@Ulfreida](#): > > Memento mori And yet young children are happy and creative, and people who know they’re dying within a few months/years are mostly not happy and creative. > [@dougrb](#): > > “Nothing says ‘I trust you GOD’ like 3 inches of bullet proof glass.” Enh, I think the Catholic Church supports self-preservation. > [@Chronos](#): > > “Support our troops. Bring them home.” Generally, yeah, but it wouldn’t get much traction today in Ukraine, or in the USA in 1944. > [@hogarth](#): > > I generally agree with the sentiment that different religions should coexist Yep. > [@Senegoid](#): > > Don’t vote. It only encourages them. Can’t agree with not voting in honest elections.
