what if rule

While I don't doubt there being real pride-themed anti-homeless spikes, these are just color overlaid over the image.
- I do actually doubt that pride-themed anti-homeless spikes exist.
  But I've seen people post and fall for this same image so many times it's like they want them to.
  
  This one however...
  
  I've seen photos of anti-racist anti-homeless benches. They are too short to sleep and and have a sign something like "no space for racists"

That's incredibly fake, btw

Remember, when you see anti-homeless architecture, you are morally obliged to come back later with a hammer to correct it.
- It's pretty ironic that if the homeless vandalize anti-homeless architecture enough, the state will end up housing and feeding them in prison.
  
  Let's reframe that:
  It's pretty horrific that the US prison industrial system benefits from imprisoned populations available to the used as slave labor enough that cities with higher homeless populations rather than doing literally anything to help choose to make things harder and more likely for a crime to occur such that homeless folks can be scooped up and dropped into the ~~slave quarters~~ prisons.
  Edit: spelling, my god this needs punctuation, use your imagination and add it yourself 👍
  
  Sometimes it comes at a cost though. Remember the LA fires not that many months ago? They used a lot of inmates as cheap and expendable labor to fight the fires.
- We need to work shop an effective and fast way to remove these spikes without getting caught, because I can't think of how a person could do it without it taking a long time.
  
  Hi vis vest and a hard hat would probably be all one needed to look official enough to get it done even if it takes a while.
  
  Put a piece of plywood on top.
- between that and cybertrucks i should probably just keep the hammer on me
  
  Invest in carpenter jeans!

Pride-Themed Anti-Homeless Spikes Under Underpass: Fact Check
Summary:
Images of anti-homeless spikes under an underpass painted in Pride (rainbow) colors have circulated online, sparking debate and outrage. However, these images are not genuine.
The viral photo showing "pride-themed" anti-homeless spikes was digitally altered as satire. The original image, taken in Guangzhou, China, shows plain concrete spikes installed to deter homeless people from sleeping under a bridge[4][5].
Fact-checking organizations confirm the rainbow colors were added digitally and the image was widely shared as a joke or political commentary, not as a real-life example of such hostile architecture[4][5].
While hostile architecture-including anti-homeless spikes-is a real and controversial urban design practice[2], there is no verified case of these spikes being painted in Pride colors under an underpass in real life.
Conclusion:
The "pride-themed anti-homeless spikes" under an underpass are not real; the image is a satirical digital alteration, not an actual example of urban design[4][5].

- I appreciate the effort, but just by the way the colours line up with the spikes it's pretty easy to tell it's a rainbow filter laid on top of the real anti-homeless spikes.
  
  You're overestimating the average below average person
- Lol, yes we are all aware of this. It's so obvious it's not even funny.
- The colors are fake, the spikes are real.
  
  Then just post the photo with the spikes. The doctored photo is manipulating people into coming up with incorrect conclusions.
- Well that just reeks of chatGPT

"Bro, what are you doing with all those 2x1 meter sheets of plywood?"
Helping the homeless.

Why does this exist?

I mean, this isn't real... But okay.

pride-themed anti-homeless architecture is especially cruel when you know how many queer people experience homelessness
those are basically saying "we love white middle class queer people! shoutout to queer people who conform to and accept our violent white supremacist patriarchal society! yay!"
it’s fucking vile
(yes i know in this case it’s a photoshop but my point still stands)

lets put som boards ovr it so peeps cn eep somewhat well ~
EDIT: i thinks dis were not cool queer peeps, thad were evil peeps trynna mek queer look bad by puttin spike!.. ;(
- Very likely that it wasn't even queer people, just some piece of shit trying to pinkwash their hostile architecture.
  
  Not even that, it’s just a bad photoshop job
  
  yisyis thads whad I said... kinda...

It'd be pretty comical if someone just used that as a base to help provide drainage for their improv cabin building project. Keeping rain from settling on the baseboards is important after all.
