  • What is it about LLL stuff, which while perhaps admirable outlooks or nice positions to take on things, just makes the cynics in us think 'oh do fuck off you twee bastard'

    I'm guessing you're British, or have lived here long enough.

  • Is LLL an exclusively British thing? Do other countries have their own monstrosities? Do Buddhist countries have Christs all over the place?

  • No, but the cynicism, whilst not exclusively British, is typically so.

    This is from the lunch room at work. In a medium sized hospital in Sweden. It’s everywhere. Although I expect there are bizarre twists to the things as you get further east, like the English texts on tshirts in Asia.

    Can confirm that there's a good amount of LLL in China.
    We do also have our own monstrosities though - for example, statues of father christmas playing the saxophone.
    And in terms of official slogans, propaganda here can be trite and vom-inducing. It's vaguely more palatable when printed onto a giant red banner and strung along the street, but there's an art wall near my office with some Xi Jinping quotes "tastefully" painted on it, it's like the CCPxLLL collab no one ever thought they needed.
