Nah dude, someone took the opportunity to use a slogan originating in witch hunts of people threatening the ruling class in their bleeding of post-war prosperity in America.

This is about some despot using their resources to interfere with what modest self-governance we have in America

I think we’re also over-estimating the strength of the left in the US. I think a century of propaganda and witch hunts is still weighing on the prospects of anything overly pro-labor making it to the mainstream.

For some reason the last photo is being compressed down to 1MP. The version I have is 9MP and you must trust that it’s a good looking photo

A lot of historical photos we seen were taken in situations where the photographer couldn’t meter for light or pull focus precisely without letting the moment slip away but film photography can look really good. All of these are much older than the 1930s

Acid never follows reality in fiction anyway, I’m mostly fine with it just being whatever it needs to be to make the plot work

Nah dude Halsin definitely knows what’s up

Well I think jumping to shooting representatives of the crown would have just ended with the execution of the handful of conspirators down for that. I see the value in taking steps between the starting point and your goal. You can build a larger network as your less radical actions gain notoriety. When your tyrant incites war, as they do, you’ll have a bunch of supporters that wouldn’t have otherwise picked up arms from the outset

The loved gun control when black people started arming themselves. Most of the reason California has the strict laws it does
