Sign holders: emaciated, tattered clothing, foot wraps/bindings/bandages, visible wounds and scars, body language signifies either fear or aggression

Sign occupiers: well fed, clean clothes in good repair, no visible wounds or scars, body language signifies openness.

Good analysis.

Do you think the red phrygian cap is a reference to "Red Cap" goblins, or to the phrygian cap as a traditional symbol of liberty, or both?
