      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.

      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.

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

    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…

        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.

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

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