X users are scoffing at the banner, saying it has a ‘North Korean aesthetic’ and gives off ‘Saddam Hussein vibes’

        No they aren’t the Itilian one would go hard as a bit of art for an anti-fascist punk album. The other one belongs in the margins of a middle school history book so you can see this weird shit.

        yup. that’s how we know why dictators do this. millennia of precedent. they’re little losers on their insides so they have to project power outwardly and make themselves inescapable. they start by going after the most vulnerable people in society because their strength is a lie. they fear going after someone strong will reveal their truth

            I think it has to be. This has been corroborated as far back as when The Apprentice was filming.

            Someone had the nickname wet wipes because it became part of his job to change him from time to time when he shit himself. He also completely ignores it, or might not be aware it’s happening.

      I’d give 20-1 odds that it’s a Chinese-made print on petroleum-based material, and highly unlikely to be canvas. So it would make beautiful art as it burns and drips.

      Edit: picture this- this building with this banner at night. The banner in flames at a rightward angle. At the bottom of the banner where it’s burning, the cheaply made plastic based banner melts as fast as it burns. Dripping, black molten plastic stalactites feed tiny black plastic stalagmites below. Freedom and law are seen in burn barrels behind the building.
