These kinds of pictures go back years, and it’s really, really easy to mis-label them or to cherry-pick them to provoke whichever reaction the poster is trying to provoke. They have traditionally been a right-wing tool, maybe because so much right-wing sentiment is driven by negative feelings like disgust.
The “Occupy Wall Street” movement included clean-up crews, they even arranged some media photo-ops with their clean-up crews, but trash and litter is what showed up in the media anyway.
So I’m skeptical that I’m learning anything when I see pictures like these. I think you should be skeptical, too.
Charlie Kirk was an out-and-proud racist, and his supporters loved that about him. We don’t have to consider the litter to understand that his supporters are fundamentally opposed to the spirit of America itself.
