When the first eight lines are true, but then government is still surprised_pikachu.png when the result is the last line. Smh

Anyway woop woop people! Woop mother fucking woop!

The overseer rode around the plantation
The officer is off, patrollin' all the nation
The overseer could stop you, "What you're doing?"
The officer will pull you over just when he's pursuing
The overseer had the right to get ill
And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill
The officer has the right to arrest
And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest

Is this a song?

Never forget what really started the Ferguson riots. After a peaceful candlelight vigil, Ferguson police let a K-9 piss on the memorial to Michael Brown then ran over it with their police cars

he basically turned his arm into this flag

Got a warning for a tail light being out about 15 miles from Ferguson last month. The douche had a similar tattoo to the first one. Instead of Monster can logo it was a sweet tribal design with parts of the Confederate flag mixed in. Stay classy St Charles Police department

This tat is an artistic representation of "scratch a cop and a fascist bleeds".

Were the confederates fascist? Racist oligarchies exist before fascism as a concept existed(like the confederacy). But I think fascism also requires certain economic and political policies that idk if the CSA had.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 hours ago

If the Confederacy existed today you'd call it a fascist state with zero mental conflict, but Orwell actually addressed a similar situation with criticizing Kipling that he resolved by simply calling him a pre-fascist.

No, they do not meet a technical definition of the term on a policy level, but if they'd been around in 1930 you bet your ass they'd have been babbling about Autarky and such.

There is also a huge emphasis on military worship in fascist societies, sometimes even trying to make civilians dress and act like the military does. Which, once again, confederates didn't do.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 hour ago

A big problem with how people conceptulise fascism is that they only look at a couple of full grown animals. This causes them to overlook the nascent stages and to discount regional variances caused by the different environments they grew up in.

Whether they have been propagandised to frame this perception this way because most Right Wing movements utilise fear, anger and devisiveness in a discomfortingly similar way, is worth pondering.

This reminds me the Hungarian "moderate conservative" who left behind Hitler's Mein Kampf for Evola's Rebellion Against the Modern World.

Its absolutely awful, but I do like how they utilized the blue in the flag for the stripe. Very symbolically fitting, in a way.

except they don't

Yeah look, theres a verticle strip of blue on the skull going straight down from a wonky edge of the tear. Also, the skulls eye socket coveres where some of the red might have been in between.

thanks for the downvote, but you are wrong and this is too trivial to explain, just look at the ridges of untatooed skin

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 hours ago

Have another

[–] [email protected] 0 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I have no idea what you're on about. At the top of the largest piece of the earlier tattoo, there's a ridge where it flares out, and at the base of that, it splits red on the left with blue on the right.

On the new tattoo, at that same ridge, there's white on the left, and the exact same blue on the right.

Below the eye socket in the skull, the blue under that would be color matched and added, since that part of the original was red. At the same time, since they had to at least try to color match it, they may have touched up the upper part of the blue (above the eye socket), but it's hard to tell.

The white balance in these pictures doesn't match, so the colors are all over the place and it's hard to tell if they're the same hue.

Either way, on both, the blue line above the eye on the final tattoo does align with the blue present in the original tattoo.

I dunno if you're trying to say something else, but it's clear as day if you reference the other edges of the piece, to align everything.

I get what you're saying, man! And it looks like the white star under that ridge be omes the white strip to the right of the blue one.

Dumb tattoo, but good work on the artist's part

[–] [email protected] 0 points 13 hours ago

I agree, excellent artistry.

This falls under, awful taste but great execution.

I both like it and I hate it. 🎉
