I've never been able to bring myself to put stickers on my laptop - not since the Titanium PowerBook came out.
Everything else in my life? Covered in them. But my laptops are always pristine. This has always made me faintly sad.

I believe bumper stickers are only really a thing in the US.
Political bumper stickers are also a thing up here in Canada, but probably like 1-5% as common. I'm often shocked to see how common they are when I'm down in the US. Like I find it weird that so many people are eager to passive agressively advertise their political views to the public (and usually the more polarizing views). The most common sticker we've got is the infamous "F--- Trudeau" sticker. And I'm even seeing…
We like to exercise the 1st Amendment.

I've never seen a conservative sticker on a laptop before. Then again, stickers, tags, etc. are more of an anti establishment thing. Those things don't mesh well with conservative views.
Wasn't long ago that opposition to fascism was the conservative position. Why is a sticker expressing the same considered "progressive"?
Semantic drift.

Some people like naziism. Those people were wrong. This isn't some kind of "oh morality is relative and somethings are cultural", it's just objectively wrong, regardless of who or how many people claim to like it.
> Some people like naziism. Those people were wrong. In your individual opinion. In mine, too, and hopefully everyone else’s here. But the OP was clearly talking about what views are presented as “morally right” by normative social forces, and those clearly differ across time and place, often as political power waxes and wanes.
No but that's my point, the nazis had to march entire classes of people to death camps at gun point to be considered "normative," and even then there was a resistance movement not only in every occupied country but also Germany itself. The reality is a minority of people were willing to use extraordinary violence and propaganda to present their viewpoint as "normal," but I don't agree that that made it "normal" even for the times.
And even now we see that the normalization of naziism is apparently impossible - I was incredibly cynical about the American right wing happily embracing naziism, but I guess I was partially wrong: there's a schism this week over popular American right wing media figures platforming the nazi Nick Fuentes.

How am I stopping anyone's enjoyment? Why can't you let me voice my opinion?
It's got the same vibe as going into a circle of people having fun and telling them they're trying too hard. What's the effect you're going for? You're not being stopped from having an opinion - your comment is visible - but sharing one that'll only serve to bring down people's moods makes everything a little bit worse I think.
> It's got the same vibe as going into a circle of people having fun and telling them they're trying too hard.
Strange analogy, considering this is a public forum, and I'm expressing my opinion about the shared link.
If you don't like it, you're free to engage or ignore it. The idea that only positive opinions should be expressed is infantile.
