      You might be surprised how hard a counter culture goes when the prevailing culture is so oppressive.

        You can’t have counterculture without a strong prevailing culture. SLC pushes back in surprising ways small and large. Great to see it.

      They’re double dog daring us to. Many are still clinging to the hope we can vote our way out of this in 2-4 years, but at the rate this coup is progressing, how long until that hope gets extinguished and violence is the only remaining option?

      SLC local here. I agree, but also keep in mind this city has always been a leftist funnel. A bastion of sanity in a sea of maga idiots.

    Oh, look! It’s the rich’s enforcers, they found something they bother to investigate…

      It’s just graffiti, they’ll quarter-ass it for a couple hours and then give up

      It’s pretty amazing. Something about the symmetry of it, the faux-orderliness of the embossed fonts against the stark blue defiant scrawl, the crowd of people in the distance against the few cops in the foreground. The upwards curve of capitol hill building vs the downward curve of the hats of the cops. The blue sky and text imploring clarity and freedom vs the brown uniforms and dead grass.

      All of it incidental, but captured like it was a planned painting. There’s more I’m sure I’m missing, but yeah, this is an amazing photo.

    I’ve seen it from more than one angle now, so I know it’s real, but damn if that isn’t the most AI looking f’ing image…

        Makes me think a solid misinformation strategy would be to doctor real photos to look like they’re AI generated.

        It’s the almost complete lack of shadows. My guess is there was a very thin cloud cover diffusing the sunlight. You can kind of see this on the right-side officer’s hat shadow.

        Lots of that lately; reminiscent of the cybertruck on fire in front of the trump tower. I absolutely assumed that was ai at first

    Graffiti as appetizer in the feast of late-stage capitalism. Charming how the Capitol’s marble sanctity gets a splash of proletarian culinary advice. Utah’s lawmakers push austerity, then clutch pearls when the menu gets literal.

    Revolutionary sloganeering 101: crude, effective, allergic to nuance. Marie Antoinette’s ghost nods approvingly from her guillotine airbnb. But let’s be real—this isn’t vandalism, it’s public service announcements for the oligarchs sunbathing in tax havens.

    Keep the tags coming. If they won’t tax the rich, at least let the walls remind them where this hunger games ends.
