This image was very close to being OP. π
Fist in the air in the land of hypocrisy.
Sadly, RATM are now part of the machine. Last time they were in my city, tickets to their concert were $500+ and the concert had corporate sponsors
It would be so awesome if every RATM song wasnβt relevant in 30 years but Iβve lost all hope
We're all still here, just stick to the plan and stay safe.
What plan? The one where we let a fascist elect an idiot and then do a nazi salute?
You need to have a plan that doesn't involve the ballot box.
This is - not as a coy bit, but for real - not a call to violence. You need to figure out how to build where you are right now, and stop asking for permission from a structure that is designed to oppress you. If you're not sure where to start, Food Not Bombs is a solid first place to inquire.
I have one of those but I donβt post about it online because reasons
That's great, that means you have an answer to your own question. I'm not trying to be snarky here, but that is literally the answer to what to do about Trump, even though his influence seems global and yours seems tiny, it's the only way we can actually combat fascism.
The thing that stops despots long term is the fact that the mass of people on the ground do not bow to them, and they can never find and stop us all.
2014 throwback:
They were never my favorite band. I hate the lyrics, but I like the sound.
-- Paul Ryan to NYT when asked if he was a fan of rage against the machine
Not sure if this is better or worse than JD:
spoiler
Donβt mistake me, I clearly see that Ryan has a whole lotta βrageβ in him: A rage against women, a rage against immigrants, a rage against workers, a rage against gays, a rage against the poor, a rage against the environment. Basically the only thing heβs not raging against is the privileged elite heβs groveling in front of for campaign contributions.
No, no... I've been assured online it wasn't actually a Nazi salute.
The only thing I don't like about this is the ambiguity. It is not perfectly clear (to me at least) that this isn't a nazi saying I will do what I want vs the protest art I think (and the rest of the comment section) it is. Like it needs just an extra touch to be explicitly anti fascist and not get co-opted.
To me the small red mark on the head is a gunshot/headshot and thus pretty clear.
There are two things here that are adding to its meaning that remove the ambiguity once you are aware. I suspect your ignorance gives a few things away about your but its ok :)
The raised fist image is "The Battle of Los Angeles" and was used as a cover art for one of the albums for Rage Against the Machine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Battle_of_Los_Angeles_(album)
if you lived in the late 1990's, it was very iconic
I am aware of the band, but had never seen the album art, so yeah this makes sense. I was thinking along the lines of "why is this suddenly woke" types seeing this as art to endorse them and feeling bold off of it.
Thank you and u/[email protected] for context :)
Although I see your point, I think the origin point (or at least popularization point) that I guarantee nearly all of us are mentally referencing when we read it supplies that explicit point of reference, at least in my opinion.
