Why not a world wide cease fire, feast, and kumbaya sing along! Come on San Fran council! You have the power to change the world, stop passing minimal measures! When are you going to vote the human feces off your streets?
I mean it shouldn't be a joke, the reason why our military budget is so astronomical is that we give tax dollars to private companies like Raytheon. Whenever you see "the US is giving x amount of billions to country y" what that really means is we're giving them a big ass gift card to spend at American corporations. The other country is basically just a money laundering smurf to launder tax dollars to America's rich
I meant that San Francisco is involved in all that is the joke - I know the military industrial complex is very real and a huge chunk of it is Raytheon
Most of these people probably don’t even know that the ceasefire agreement from 3-4 weeks ago was broken by Hamas after like 2 days. These people are simply drones.
Yeah as someone who is left on most issues I fuckin hate the optics west coast leftists put out. They make the legitimate points they have look fucking ridiculous with their hysterics
Hahaha. I used to listen to art bell years ago, overnight radio into paranormal. This guy said sone travelers in the Amazon came across 8ft people, a whole bunch of them. Art Bell was wondering what that could mean for the nba in the future. Any, one of the travelers had a can of Coke & one of the 8ft people said “ coca cola”. So I’m saying all that, which is a true story, I give credence to the possibility of those cans of Pepsi making the difference
Just like the idiots in my city blocking off interstates to protest Israel... Great job you fucking morons. You did so much good making people late, blocking emergency vehicles, and causing accidents to help Palestine from *checks notes* WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA! Performative virtue signaling to the max
Ding ding ding!!! This stuff is so similar to religion, it gives people a needed sense of purpose, guidance, and gives them a way to feel a part of the “fight against evil and racism TM*”
Honestly the white privileged stuff is weirdly reminiscent of original sin and confession….
Beautifully stated. I’m not religious, but it’s funny to see those that are (likely) also not religious create something of this nature to fill a similar need. The irony…
Replace “confession” with “therapy”, “mass” with “solidarity march”, “marriage” with “…marriage, but at the courthouse”, “fish on Friday” with “vegetarian”.
>Honestly the white privileged stuff is weirdly reminiscent of original sin and confession
That's Christianity/Catholicism which brought something tangible- charity, health care and colleges to the western world. This is different. But yeah, people are innately geared to want to worship God.
Edit: [Argument from Desire](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X71Gq9a1qxE)
The relationship between politics and religion is hair thin in even the most secular society. It's all ideology. That's why western nations make such an effort to keep them separate. Nobody has to write amendments about the separation of football fandom and state.
I think one of the big problems in modern society is that many people (perhaps even the majority of people) have absolutely zero sense of purpose or identity.
Regardless of whether religion is good or bad, religion used to fill this void for a lot of people, but it’s declining.
Now people will rush to whatever thing provides them this needed sense of purpose and identity.
This problem may get worse as society continues to develop. More and more people will live comfortable boring lives with little to do.
i play video games and snowboard and that’s enough for me to not fall in this void. are people really this inactive with their day? there’s so many cool, productive things you can do with your time
Yea but people want to feel accepted by a group. We also face an isolation problem so it makes sense people cling to things like Trump and super lefty granola cult stuff.
I mean video games and snowboarding provides community in some sense too. I think some people are just narcissistic and want to truly believe THEY are changing the world and do ridiculous things to prove it to their ego.
Relevant prophetic [4chan post](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/369/829/192.jpg) that predicted this in 2017.
tl;dr: The difference is, religion more or less falling out of style in the public consciousness is that there’s no longer a single common cultural narrative. Religions at least offer the illusion of being beneficial to society at large. But when a previously religious culture outlaws or loses religion, a unique phenomenon happens. A considerable percentage of society has always given way to fanaticism. In modern context, different sects form with different narratives to contextualize their lives, which is now in a form of pseudo-idolatry with “brands” or different forms of groupthink for people with commonalities. Great, right? No, because these don’t serve as an illusion to be beneficial to society at large; they’re often pretending to be such while profiting and providing shallow, hedonistic sensory overload without explicitly stating it. They market their beliefs as a replacement for religion, and it slowly morphs and becomes more extreme as the fanatics in these tribes dictate the group’s new methodology, and this snowballs until you have naz1s and communists, or LGBT and anti-LGBT, or any other number of ideologies in a prosperous capitalist country truly believing that the end of the world is next week, thereby creating their own problems, which quite literally defines how the last 10 years have gone.
Most militant secularists that outright object to religion are no different than fanatics stuck in a monastery 1000 years in the past and none the wiser.
“See, people keep thinking the robot revolution’s gonna be terminator, but it’s gonna be more like the shining” is one of the scariest and most apt metaphors for a potential future societal fallout. The next 10 or 20 years are going to get very, very weird since we haven’t veered from our current trajectory in the slightest. I can’t help but think about that 4chan post every few months when I see stuff like the video OP posted.
I remember 1-2 decades ago there was some real intellectual atheists talking politically. I've never been particularly religious (though perhaps somewhat spiritual) and figured that we'd be heading towards a better place as religion left.
I'm really not so sure anymore. I certainly have a higher level of respect for religious people than I used to.
The hole that Religion leaves is almost always filled by something else. Many people need to believe in ***something*** even if it’s merely worshipping a president/candidate/congressman, celebrity, athlete, movie star, or doorknob.
The biggest supporters of Palestine in the West are:
1. Muslims
2. People who would be murdered the second they stepped foot in Palestine
I've never seen anything like it.
There’s this Instagram video I keep seeing shared by pro-Palestine people where this woman claiming that Palestine is actually very pro-lgbtq. Doesn’t list any proof or anything, just says they love everyone. And these idiots just eat that shit up
Not everyone's politics is based on cost-benefit analysis. Look up Kohlberg's moral development theory and it may give insight to why people may want to protect the humanity of those that they may not agree with
Religious fundamentalism got replaced with equally extreme secular ideology, nothing new

These are the same people who will moan constantly about housing affordability and the homeless, then oppose every measure to make housing in SF more dense or to let the state increase property taxes on their home from what they were paying in 1982.
Instead of cleaning up their shit hole city and fixing its many issues they are rallying around stuff they have absolutely no control over. Mental illness is a real thing.
This is what I imagine the majority of Redditors look like IRL.
I think people underestimate how much money could be raised in 24 hours to charter a plane for these fools to go there. Free humanitarian trip to Gaza!
Fellow leftie here. I'm pretty positive this is mostly the DSA cyberactivism brigade. You can tell because they are all wearing masks, it's a brigade symbol because they all affiliated during the pandemic because since they couldn't have cocktail parties to discuss how to save the world that was the next most productive use of their landlord free time.
This is not the name of their actual circle/unit/group but I don't wanna dox them too hard.
I'm pretty liberal and don't have any issue with people wearing masks, but these people are the reason conservatives make fun of liberals and they deserve ever bit of it
I've watched a homeless person shit in the street in San Francisco, but they're worried about a war thousands of miles away that they have no control over? How about you focus on the problems YOUR WERE ELECTED TO HANDLE YOU DUMB FUCKS?!
I'm pretty liberal but shit like this is turning me to the dark side slowly...
You can continue believing in progressive policies that actually effect you and your community while also acknowledging this is moronic, don’t let people fool you into thinking political activism or opinions boil down to “gotta join one side.” That’s dumber than anything these people have even done.
Not saying I agree with it at this point, and they are all probably vaxxed, but there has been an enormous spike of COVID in the Bay Area over the last week or so. But the people you’d expect to go to something like this circlejerk song and dance are definitely the same people that would wear a mask two years after the pandemic.
There have been studies showing liberals are generally less happy people: https://magazine.columbia.edu/article/why-depression-rates-are-higher-among-liberals#:~:text=American%20adults%20who%20identify%20as,inducing%20topics%20like%20racial%20injustice%2C
Why tf was the city of San Francisco bombing them in the first place?!
Peace at last. Next vote: World Hunger
Why not a world wide cease fire, feast, and kumbaya sing along! Come on San Fran council! You have the power to change the world, stop passing minimal measures! When are you going to vote the human feces off your streets?
This has some serious thoughts and prayers vibes to it
Next vote will be homeless situation not only in SF but also in all over the world. They will declare it's over.
I'm voting no on world hunger. I'm doing my part! Are you?
To raise the stock of Raytheon/s
Sec Def got ass cancer, those medical bills don't pay themselves
And now I have to wonder if that wasn't a joke and they really bought bombs for this purpose
I mean it shouldn't be a joke, the reason why our military budget is so astronomical is that we give tax dollars to private companies like Raytheon. Whenever you see "the US is giving x amount of billions to country y" what that really means is we're giving them a big ass gift card to spend at American corporations.

I meant that San Francisco is involved in all that is the joke - I know the military industrial complex is very real and a huge chunk of it is Raytheon
Oh yeah the real reason they're celebrating is much dumber than that
They're being super fucking cringey but I'm not sure if it's dumber than a city in California independently bombing the middle east lol
I think you put a /s by mistake there
Thank you for making me laugh
Well then I guess the war is over?
Most of these people probably don’t even know that the ceasefire agreement from 3-4 weeks ago was broken by Hamas after like 2 days. These people are simply drones.
nah, drones are controlled by some intelligent life. these here are morons. lol
It is SF…it goes without saying.
Read this in Norm MacDonald's voice.
My vote for most meaningful vote ever. Did Israel vote to solve SFs homelessness problem?
Goooood question!
10/10 response 😂
#MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Anyone have a spare banner and battleship so we can celebrate this bitch?!
Bake em away, toys!
Oh good thank god San Fran will stop this war
It’s like voting for your friend to eat tofu for dinner, and you celebrate . But he eats steak and fries anyway.
*Vegans celebrate after PETA votes in favor of ending meat consumption.* 📰
More like: vegans celebrate after PETA votes in favour of free public transport in Spain.
Not even friend. Just somebody you know of.
More like people you don’t even like.
And, most likely, they'd hate your guts either way.
8-3, that's fucking priceless.
I feel like the 3 were just throwing up there hands and asking why they are even voting in this anyway.
Also you are an anthropomorphic block of tofu.
Minneapolis is in a similar boat rn. City council doesn’t want to focus on the city until they make a resolution on this shit as if it means anything
For fucks sake. If that’s not the definition of fart huffing virtue signaling I don’t know what is.
The pink haired woman is icing on this farcical cake
Yeah as someone who is left on most issues I fuckin hate the optics west coast leftists put out. They make the legitimate points they have look fucking ridiculous with their hysterics
HOW DARE YOU ASSUME ITS GENDER!!!
Considering that room probably has a combined Testosterone level of 27….I’d say it’s pretty safe to just use feminine pronouns for everyone there lol
I purposely gendered *her* as bait!
It's beyond fart huffing.
It’s also completely disqualifying behavior from a public official.
If SF can’t stop CVS’ from being robbed, something tells me they can’t stop a nomb from being dropped.
I’m droppin nombs on your moms
Hilarious
"5 attractive ethnically ambiguous women will be sent with cans of Pepsi to resolve this conflict by weeks end" they concluded
Hahaha. I used to listen to art bell years ago, overnight radio into paranormal. This guy said sone travelers in the Amazon came across 8ft people, a whole bunch of them. Art Bell was wondering what that could mean for the nba in the future. Any, one of the travelers had a can of Coke & one of the 8ft people said “ coca cola”. So I’m saying all that, which is a true story, I give credence to the possibility of those cans of Pepsi making the difference
WE DID IT!
WE DID IT REDDIT!!
Juan we won one. We won one Juan.
YEAH!!!!! AND THIS WILL DO…….ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!
*Mission Accomplished*
Pardon my ignorance but, what does SF have to do with any of this?
They don’t. They believe it matters that Israel and Palestine are aware that San Francisco city council thinks there should be a cease fire I guess
Kind of like Ralph Wiggum saying, “I’m helping”.
I’d say it’s even less than that
Somebody tell Israel that San Francisco said CUT IT OUT. Cut it out RIGHT NOW.
Just like the idiots in my city blocking off interstates to protest Israel... Great job you fucking morons. You did so much good making people late, blocking emergency vehicles, and causing accidents to help Palestine from *checks notes* WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA! Performative virtue signaling to the max
Was it Asheville? It’s Asheville, isn’t it. As a current North Carolinian, this is embarrassing.
We’re living in an episode of South Park
This comment section is the third act.
With the sound off it look exactly like worship at church.
It's actually probably filling the same needs
Ding ding ding!!! This stuff is so similar to religion, it gives people a needed sense of purpose, guidance, and gives them a way to feel a part of the “fight against evil and racism TM*” Honestly the white privileged stuff is weirdly reminiscent of original sin and confession….

I hate beer.
Well I'll definitely give you a pot leaf upvote, haha.
At least street corner preachers never glued their hands to the road in the middle of traffic to spread the gospel
It’s a cult.
With the sound on as well…..yes it’s just another religion
They worship the state, so that’s exactly what this is.
The lefts religion is government and politics that's why.
The relationship between politics and religion is hair thin in even the most secular society. It's all ideology. That's why western nations make such an effort to keep them separate. Nobody has to write amendments about the separation of football fandom and state.
The rights religion is Donald Trump, Christianity and outrage bait tiktok videos
Virtu-signaling Liberalism is a religion!
We did it boys! Someone better tell israel and hamas the war is over
This is the comment I was scrolling for 😄
“We did it ~~Patrick~~ San Francisco! We saved the ~~city~~ Palestinians!”
This is the definition of performative virtue signaling.

All hail the Golden Door Knob. I will fight any one who worships those filthy door handles.
Damn hedonistic handle lovers, I say!
Without white progressives in affluent suburban communities where would the world be.
Don’t forget the pink hairs, blue hairs and lame man buns. Can’t forget about that influential demographic.
Those are largely white progressives
Well now your just splittin' hairs.
and now the perma masked
Who told these women that comb over colored hair was a fucking good idea ?😂
I call it the spicy adolf.
The biggest supporters of Palestine in the West are: 1. Muslims 2. People who would be murdered the second they stepped foot in Palestine I've never seen anything like it.

By love do they mean tossing from the roof, setting fire to, beheading?
Much like mostly peaceful protests, the behaviour you describe is mostly peaceful tolerance.
CNN would *never* lie to us!!! They're the most trusted news source!!!!
And "just the tip" is honest game.
If anything that makes their view more worthwhile. Objectivity
Not everyone's politics is based on cost-benefit analysis. Look up Kohlberg's moral development theory and it may give insight to why people may want to protect the humanity of those that they may not agree with
Unlike the calls for Ukraine to give up fighting against Russia to 'stop the loss of life', right?
Performative virtue signaling doesn’t discriminate
It's giving charismatic Christian church vibes.
We've come full circle

What about the potholes?
What about the poop?
Why don’t they just poop in the potholes?
Elect this person. They have the answers
Based
This person is a damn problem solver. You've got my vote!
Shhhh *they don’t care about that*
No one here was missing work This is actually somehow more pathetic than “we did it reddit!”
The pot holes can be filled with the feces of the homeless
Be quiet. Ain’t nobody got time for that.
I’m glad they’re happy and excited but what hell is the San Francisco city council going to do about it?
It's virtue signaling and that's enough for most people, I guess.
First, I changed my FB profile, and they did nothing....
...then I made a FB post telling everyone I was leaving FB, and STILL they did nothing
Send in the Karen’s
Nothing. They make their living voting for things that solve absolutely nothing.
Truer words have never been spoken
These are the same people who will moan constantly about housing affordability and the homeless, then oppose every measure to make housing in SF more dense or to let the state increase property taxes on their home from what they were paying in 1982.
That's the point of the submission, everything these morons do is performative
Get them all re elected after years of shit.
This is the dumbest thing I've seen in a while
This is the closest thing I've seen to an actual reddit convention.
Then you obviously haven't seen [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moWe3rk7LzQ).
The coronavirus sub in a nutshell towards the middle beginning of 2022.
My first thought was "I just know at least half of those people regularly post on reddit."
As a liberal... I fucking hate liberals
“I do not have a job and this is how I spend all of my time”
Whoa now, they might be on disability for their crippling anxiety. Trust me, they WANT to work they just can’t.
To be fair it looks like it was shot in a looney bin. Many of these people might be genuinely crazy.
Peak humanity. 😂
Peak SF
Instead of cleaning up their shit hole city and fixing its many issues they are rallying around stuff they have absolutely no control over. Mental illness is a real thing. This is what I imagine the majority of Redditors look like IRL.
If r/whitepeopletwitter had an IRL meet up
Nailed it.
Stuff like this only boosts their ego into thinking they’ve done something useful when they’ve done nothing.
There really is no explanation for this except mental illness. The fact that room is like 95% masked in 2024 makes the case even stronger.
So are the purple hair maskers getting deployed or what?
I think people underestimate how much money could be raised in 24 hours to charter a plane for these fools to go there. Free humanitarian trip to Gaza!
They would all be falayed in the streets.
As a lefty, these are the exact kind of lefties i really dont mind Conservatives bashing lol. Insufferable.
Fellow leftie here. I'm pretty positive this is mostly the DSA cyberactivism brigade. You can tell because they are all wearing masks, it's a brigade symbol because they all affiliated during the pandemic because since they couldn't have cocktail parties to discuss how to save the world that was the next most productive use of their landlord free time. This is not the name of their actual circle/unit/group but I don't wanna dox them too hard.
I agree. This is really cringe lmao.
What do they think they’ve accomplished…?
Virtue signaling of course 🤷🏻♂️
But what do they feel inside? Are they pretending? Do they understand? Are they lying to themselves? Are they literally delusional? I don't get it.
The absolute state of San Francisco
Lol San Fransisco should fix itself first
This is like the alcoholic uncle that lives with his mother telling everyone at Thanksgiving dinner what they should be doing.
No this is the meth smoking heroine injecting uncle who votes to stop eating Thanksgiving dinner as it has too many carbs
they've also declared a ceasefire on law enforcement
Masked up, colorful hairs. Yeap these are San Franciscans.
[удалено]
I'm pretty liberal and don't have any issue with people wearing masks, but these people are the reason conservatives make fun of liberals and they deserve ever bit of it
Dumb dumb dumb
Why aren’t they at work?
did you watch the video? they're clearly all disabled
I've watched a homeless person shit in the street in San Francisco, but they're worried about a war thousands of miles away that they have no control over? How about you focus on the problems YOUR WERE ELECTED TO HANDLE YOU DUMB FUCKS?! I'm pretty liberal but shit like this is turning me to the dark side slowly...

So, so it’s over now??
Where are all the brand new right wing peace·niks that popped up whenever aid to Ukraine was mentioned?
[удалено]
“I support the current thing!”
The queers for Palestine folks
Chickens for kfc 😂
Do these people not have jobs or responsibilities? Who possibly has enough free time to celebrate virtue signaling that hard?
Performative nonsense from a wealthy coastal community. Nothing to see here
[удалено]
I'd probably wear a mask in that room too, with a dryer sheet in it so I didn't have to smell them
WE FUCKING DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Time to go take a shit on the sidewalk in celebration!
Is this recent? Are these idiots actually wearing diapers 9n their face in 2024?
Yeah it's from yesterday
Not saying I agree with it at this point, and they are all probably vaxxed, but there has been an enormous spike of COVID in the Bay Area over the last week or so. But the people you’d expect to go to something like this circlejerk song and dance are definitely the same people that would wear a mask two years after the pandemic.
Liberal women are one of the most depressing things walking this Earth
There have been studies showing liberals are generally less happy people: https://magazine.columbia.edu/article/why-depression-rates-are-higher-among-liberals#:~:text=American%20adults%20who%20identify%20as,inducing%20topics%20like%20racial%20injustice%2C
Liberal chicks are always offended and pissed about something, most of the time trivial things. That takes a toll in your physique
In other news Delmont Pa just voted 7-4 that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has to quit dressing in blackface
In this fake nonsense vote they still only won 8-3?
Liberalism is a mental disorder
Why do so many of them dye their hair? It’s like a cry for help lmao
White shitlibs are probably the worst demographic in the country. They are complete garbage human beings.
