Being Friendly Is an Act of Defiance | Ornament

Soft, sweet, and sharper than it looks.

This ornament pairs cheerful, smiling succulents on a deep teal background with the phrases “Capitalism Destroys Communities” and “Being Friendly Is an Act of Defiance.” It’s cute enough to blend into any holiday tree — and pointed enough to make its message clear the moment someone reads it.

Warm, clever, and quietly rebellious, it’s the perfect piece for leftists, community builders, mutual-aid folks, and anyone who knows kindness becomes political under capitalism.

Hang it on your tree, gift it to a friend, or keep it up long after December — resistance looks good year-round.

About the Artwork
The artwork leans into softness — smiling succulent plants, warm expression, playful charm — and sets it against a deep teal backdrop that lets the text stand out. The contrast is intentional: the friendlier the aesthetic, the clearer the critique. Community isn’t an accident — it’s an act of defiance in systems designed to isolate us.

It’s bright, warm, and quietly fierce — an ornament that plants a seed for something better.
