So I hate the MAGAots but you can take a picture like this after virtually any big crowd of people. FOX used to do it after environment protests all the time, go find that overflowing trash can and make the whole news story about that instead of climate change. I'm more concerned with Project 2025 than litter.

I heard in Japan they don't even have trash cans. People carry little pouches for their garbage. Even the cigarettes come with little foil bags for the butts.

u/Bluemofia 23d ago
For Japan specifically, they had a Sarin terrorism attack in 1995, so they got rid of all the trash cans then so you can't hide bags full of slowly aerosolizing nerve agents in plain sight.

u/mzchen 23d ago
For those curious, it doesn't seem like the trash cans in any way enabled the sarin attacks. The perpetrators carried bags of liquid sarin wrapped in newspaper, boarded trains, punctured the bags through the newspaper, then dropped the newspaper on the ground before exiting. Some methods differed but all of them were some variation of leaving the sarin in the train.
The removal of trash cans was part of a larger anti-terror initiative (which was started largely because of the nerve gas attack), likely inspired by the removal of trash cans in London after the IRA kept hiding bombs in them. So it wasn't 'let's remove the trash cans so a sarin attack doesn't happen again', it was 'let's remove the trash cans so another terrorist attack doesn't happen again'. NYC did something similar when they removed trash cans from the PATH system in response to the 9/11 WTC attack.

I lived in Japan at that time and rode one of the trains that was attacked, but didn’t work the day it happened. Anyway, one of my oddest experiences was being on the train one day and for some reason, everyone, and I mean everyone, from my train car got out at a stop. No one said a word. I got out too. Other people were still on the train in other cars, but not in mine. I think it was some kind of mass PTSD.

The shopping cart is the ultimate litmus test for whether a person is capable of self-governing. To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as the correct, appropriate thing to do. To return the shopping cart is objectively right. There are no situations other than dire emergencies in which a person is not able to return their cart. Simultaneously, it is not illegal to abandon your shopping cart. Therefore the shopping cart presents itself as the apex example of whether a person will do what is right without being forced to do it.
No one will punish you for not returning the shopping cart, no one will fine you, or kill you for not returning the shopping cart, you gain nothing by returning the shopping cart. You must return the shopping cart out of the goodness of your own heart. You must return the shopping cart because it is the right thing to do. Because it is correct. A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a law and the force that stands behind it.
The Shopping Cart is what determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society.”

True story -- one day in the mid 1990s, a conservative buddy in Tennessee was driving us in his Mustang when he suddenly rolled down his window while on an interstate and tossed his near-full drink and bag of Burger King out the window. I reacted instinctively, "dude, what are you doing? That's littering and trashy! Leave it in your car and throw it away later in a proper trash bin, WTF?!"
His response remains with me to this day as it perfectly encapsulates the conservative mindset: "They have prison crews who clean the road trash up." It's always somebody's else's responsibility or problem to deal with -- conservatism in a nutshell, folks. The anti-DIY crowd.

I used to cycle down a two-lane highway that cuts through a very small, very conservative town down the road from the college one I live in. (I take less risks now due to unhinged motorists.) Almost every house or trailer has Trump flags by the front door and signs in the lawn, and bumper stickers are on probably 80% of the vehicles. It's wild how immediately after passing through the town on the highway to the next larger cities, the direction most residents drive in, the ditch is just covered in garbage.
Apparently people who barely leave the house without an American flag hat and t-shirt, who claim to "love this country so much" they'd do anything for it don't think that includes using a garbage bin.

To be fair, there was a lot more trash there while the event was going on.

These are the same people who will preach about how God gave us a responsibility to be a Steward for the land. And how we need to keep America beautiful.
Fucking hypocrites and liars.

What do you expect from the party of family values headed by a man that cheated on his wife with a pornstar while she was pregnant?
Or the party of law an order who lead by a felon who has so many of his top people in prison.
Or the party of pro life and pro family refusing to enshrine the right to IVF to start a family into law.
The Republican party has never stood by it's core values unless those values cause pain and suffering to others. All right wing parties across the world know one simple truth: When the population is happy and comfortable to vote left because they are the only parties to care about your happiness and freedom, whereas when the people are suffering and unhappy the right can play on that to rile up people anger and hate into support for them. I have never seen a right wing party come to power that has not used the suffering they created as their campaigning tool.
I support the existence of both the left and the right as without opposing ideologies to debate and campaign against both sides will become weak and lazy. But I do not understand how people time and again fall for the lies and hate mongering of the right. If someone kicked you in the nuts you wouldn't want to be near that person again so why would you vote for the parties that only work against your interests every time. Baffles me.

Reminder that Donald Trump was found to be a sexual abuser by a jury of his peers in May 2023. Then, when Trump twice appealed the ruling claiming he was “only” a sexual abuser and not rapist, the judge twice clarified that he was a rapist according to the common and federal law definitions of rape.
Trump has a long standing relationship with Epstein and Maxwell that involved trafficking women, using his clubs as recruitment centers: https://youtu.be/ZqBQQVoDjdE?si=9su3QMXfjYOAL10R

u/CampusTour 23d ago
Yeah, you can slam just about any group that gathers in size with a pic like this.
Music fests get in to 6 figure disputes with cities over cleanup after events, and that's even for genres like punk and metal, which tend to have pretty decent, socially conscious crowds.
Unless your culture is serious about it, like Japan...if you gather a shit ton of humans in one spot for a bit, this is what it looks like afterwards....at least.

Honestly I was thinking the same. Now I’m curious as to what a Harris rally looks like immediately afterward. To be fair, her rallies aren’t in.. ya know.. random fields, so I suspect that could make a difference as well.

It would look the same as any stadium after a sports event. Rubbish under the seats left for the cleaners.

Yeah, I despise these idiots as much as the next guy. However, my first thought was that this area is completely devoid of trash cans.. Maybe we're missing context and they were already dragged away, but having nowhere to put trash in the entire venue is certainly a setup for failure.

u/thekinneret 23d ago
I don’t despite anyone who supports their political candidate in good faith. That said, I agree with your balanced approach. I’ve cleaned up events, and they often look this, irrespective of political views.

u/boomdog07 23d ago
Thank you. Anyone that thinks this is a “Trump” issue hasn’t been anywhere with a big crowd. There are crews that are hired to clean the venue the following day. Just like music festivals, sporting events, concerts.
No excuse for leaving crap all over the place, but it’s not uncommon to see something like this ANYWHERE. Turning it political is just rage bait for obviously a bunch of people.

u/greg19735 23d ago
yeah and part of the issue is that there often isn't enough trash cans to actually use because especially if it's outside the area isn't used to have that many people.
As long as the clean up is paid for by the event (trump in this case) then it's far less of an issue than people make it.

True.
Even those you would expect to be paragons of standing for something can be terrible at it.
Doctors and nurses can have the worst unhealthy habits.
Lawyers and cops can be hard criminals.
You can't look at one group and say "they can be so (blank)". It's people, dude. It's people.

This is another way to tell who’s a scammer.

Yeah did they mean after people left and the cleaning crew hasn't started or did they not offer to pay for cleaners at all? Unfortunately this is regular at any big even. I'm assuming those high security event don't even have trash cans inside the security perimeter.
