Imagine that mural in the US, the former land of the free. Trump would probably send his GeStaPo immediately to take down the terrorists who painted this.
They haven't come after me...yet. Here's the front of my house ON THE HIGHWAY.
Fuck yes brother
Do people frequently call 911 to report an ATV wreck at your place? How many wrecks happen from people gawking?! 😂
How do your neighbors feel about this?
What neighbors? Any house that sold in the last TEN years was bought by some commercial endeavor. Rental, Airbnb, tax writeoff...
I don't have neighbors, just some people passing through.
Either awesome or pissed
If awesome, great
If pissed, fuck em
It has turned into an interesting social experiment.
This small town is economically divided. Half the people work for the government in one way or another. Police, Sheriff, Highway Patrol, Forestry, BLM, Fire department...
The other half is on welfare.
The well-to-do people HATE it. I have been flipped off by some of the city council officers. It's anyone who is driving a new car dislikes my "art".
The poor people LOVE it. They shake my hand and tell me to "Keep it up".
So... it looks like I'm working for the poor man.
That's honest work. Well done.
When I retired, I had a desire to explore the art world. My first BIG project was this dictionary I tied to the table with chains. Title: Hard Bound, Bound Hard.
It is my interpretation of things like when you buy a John Deere tractor and they tell you you can't work on it. You own it but it's not yours. We are starved for knowledge but drowning in information.
Dunno how I feel about painting a bunch of swastikas on the side of your house, but I love your energy comrade. It's a brave new world.
be mindful of what you post online, but I'm sure you appreciate the risks, take care.
I didn't paint them for you, I paint for ME.
BLM? I’m non-USian, what do the initials mean in this context?
Bureau of land management. They look after the national parks and such
That makes sense - thanks.
That one is "Bureau of Land Management"
I can dig it. Keep fighting the fight brother
It’s more that I would worry about vandalism.
I caught vandals trying to paint over it. I won in court. They had to pay me for damages.
It's making me money.
Nice.
SA. Sturmabteilung. The FBI is the Gestapo. Get yo historical metaphors right.
Not yet. When they start eliminating all the brown shirts, AKA ICE then they will be the Gestapo. I wonder how many of them realize that they are scheduled to be eliminated in the plan.
Best thing that could happen at this point is an Operation Hummingbird type purge of ICE and the DHS. The party is nowhere near consolidated enough to make a power move like that, MAGA would eat itself alive.
ICE is the police force which directly reports to the Executive Branch, which is why it is Gestapo.
FBI would be whatever was left of the Wehrmacht when Hitler took power, perhaps the Feldgendarmerie.
The Wehrmacht was literally the army. So no, not the FBI.
The SA was a bunch of complete morons that attacked people and caused riots and got so out of hand that the government couldn't handle them anymore. The Gestapo was smart.
The Wehrmacht was the entire republic, my dude. It was the feds. And the Feldgendarmerie were its federal law enforcers.
