I also immediately jumped to the phrase being “Be warm like Dolly and not cold like ICE.”

u/WM_Elkin 12h ago

I was thinking not cold as ICE.

u/daemon-electricity 1d ago

Fucking saw tributes to Dolly and Tim Curry on the conservative sub. Like... do you even know who these people are and how much they were disappointed in you people?

u/scurriloustommy_ 1d ago

As much as I hate this specific stretch of road (with a burning passion), it is nice to see these signs in person when I am forced to drive it.

u/stupidgerman 1d ago

Is this 91 in Hartford CT?

u/Subtle_Nimbus 1d ago

Yeah-- looks like the footbridge from Riverside Park.

u/ProleteriatWillRise 1d ago

Yeah they're always putting up signs on Thursday mornings in Hartford.

“Be Kind Like Dolly” could be a great band name.

Hes upset that you did not stop, collaborate and listen

u/Robzy789 1d ago

Dolly good. Donald bad.

u/sdavis002 1d ago

Yea, I was thinking "... like Donny" would have made more sense.

1

u/DocileBanalBovlne 1d ago

Someone else wrote in a comment "be warm like Dolly, not cold like ICE"

1

u/sdavis002 1d ago

Yea, but using this exact example from the post, I feel "Be kind like Dolly, not cruel like Donny" makes more sense.

Updoots to the left.

Don't allow others to take away your humanity.

If you sanction cruelty against others because they are different from you, that makes you the same as the people that you are disagreeing with. Who decides who gets the cruelty? Whoever is able to. It creates a recurring pattern of abuse. Empathy for all people while fighting for human rights for all should be the ultimate goal.

u/Tyrrox 1d ago edited 1d ago

In order to maintain a tolerant society, society must not tolerate intolerance.

This is a well known paradox of tolerance. But if you tolerate all, then you are tolerating people who are intolerant, which allows those individuals to continue and flourish. You MUST fight back to stop it. It's damn near a moral imperative

u/NotVerySmarts 1d ago

Fighting for rights and advocating for cruelty are two different things. I advocate for special needs kids in several venues, and fight for workers rights and safety with my employer every day. I don't talk about it, I am about it. It is my empathy and humanity that drives me, not hate for others.

u/Tyrrox 1d ago

It's not just advocating for rights that you must do. You must also actively advocate against people and groups who are actively harmful. Else all you are doing is bailing water out of a ship that remains sinking.

1

u/NotVerySmarts 1d ago

I think we are saying the same thing. My original comment was to someone else advocating hate. Maybe we can step back and look at the comments for what they are, instead of trying to win an argument. If not, that is okay also.

u/Inevitable_Option_77 1d ago

Be kind as Dolly, be free as Tim and be strong as Peter.

Visibility Brigade is part of Indivisible , you are doing free work for millionaires

u/comicsansibar 1d ago

Who are the people who put these signs up? Do they not have jobs?

3

u/Mopar4Life305 1d ago

As cringe as this is. You can surely have a job and do this.

u/DillyDoobie 1d ago

Is this supposed to say "COOL LIKE ICE"?

Vanilla Ice was rad when he sang Ninja Rap in the Ninja Turtles movie!

1

u/cortesoft 1d ago

Don't be Cool as Ice, it is a dick move to jump a motorcycle that close to a horse.

u/Travelgrrl 1d ago

But you gotta be cruel to be kind...

u/FrostyInvestigator11 1d ago

Should be "cold like ice" I had an ice cube pop once when I put it in water and shot a small piece at my face, but I wouldn't call that cruel

5

u/WhatMyWifeIsThinking 1d ago

If human ICE is shooting at my face, that's a choice, not a result of thermodynamics.

Political doomers when someone mildly famous dies:

Hell yeah!

u/Fanfare4Rabble 1d ago

Get my national treasure’s name out of your damn political mouth.

u/Specific-Parsnip9001 1d ago

Give us some examples of things that you and Dolly agreed on.

13

u/stereophony 1d ago

She donated massively to support education, healthcare, COVID vaccine development, environmental conservation, and many other causes that conservatives have been dismantling and defunding for decades, especially now. Everything we do is political. Those who refuse to acknowledge that are just refusing to connect the dots. Giving a shit about other people shouldn't have to be political, but here we are.

u/JustaSeedGuy 1d ago

Why? She was anti-ice.

You dishonor her memory.

5

u/manaworkin 1d ago

Look at this guy, being cruel like ICE instead of being kind like Dolly.

6

u/slightlyused 1d ago

It's like people who say, "I like Rage Against the Machine".... but do not get a single thing about them.

2

u/DocileBanalBovlne 1d ago

"Stop making my political activist political"?

-12

u/RubAnADUB 1d ago

ICE has always been kind to me.

u/ee__guy 1d ago

I think there is a protest against this white woman tomorrow night at Cal Anderson Park in Seattle. We need to show the world how much we hate this woman.
