Silver Tongue

If you listen to US cop propaganda it sounds like they have the most dangerous job there is, and that the ridiculous militarisation of the police force is for their protection, and not just because they’re violent, cowardly bullies on an ego trip.

They even have their own little thin blue line flag for bootlickers to show their support for the poor, heroic police men who were just doing their job when they murder black people and beat their wives. Anyway, it turns out that police officer is only the 14th most dangerous job in the US (and that most deaths on the job come from traffic accidents), So I made a bunch of Thin [adjective] Line flags for the people who actually deserve our respect and support, with jobs that are more dangerous than being a cop.

The 13 most dangerous jobs in the US
13. Construction laborers
12. First-line supervisors of mechanics, installers, and repairers
11. Grounds maintenance workers
10. Miscellaneous agricultural workers
9. First-line supervisors of construction trades and extraction workers
8. Farmers, ranchers, and other agricultural managers
7. Delivery drivers and truck drivers
6. Structural iron and steel workers
5. Refuse and recyclable material collectors
4. Roofers
3. Aircraft pilots and flight engineers
2. Fishers and related fishing workers
1. Logging workers

So, if you happen to know a garbage man, delivery driver or a lumberjack or whatever, why not print out some bumper stickers of their own Thin [x] Line flag, and thank them for doing their dangerous job without using it as an excuse to murder innocent people.

    Lowkey disappointed that sex workers (thin scantily-clad line?) are not being represented here.

    Good grief. The last thing anybody needs is more of this shitty black flag circulating out there. It can’t be reclaimed;...
