It’s not the right idea. Decorum is just another token of the privileged to distinguish those that make the decisions from those that feel the consequences. Why get incensed at the dismantling of people’s freedoms when you can afford to insulate yourself from any hardship?

Micro?

There were gentleman thieves in the west too https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Bart_(outlaw)

Where’s Saddam Hussein?

I don’t think the secret service gets an opinion on what former presidents do for work

Any conflict where both sides have been huffing their own farts long enough to forget who they represent while they tear apart the land that normal people are just trying to go about their lives on.

So a Rolex rip with gaudy jewels and a cheap looking logo

A big reason religious hate can still do this in a society that’s been trending more secular is a bunch of old white dudes with moral ideals from the 50s own the media companies

Well it’s obvious there’s none of that in New York so they’re stuck chasing $3 fare dodging

Might as well just shoot them instead

Legitimately. It’s not even a joke. Millions have been spent on defending 100k in fare evasion.

The NYPD budget is in the ballpark of 11 billion

Especially the NYPD

This is for sure not an AK (awful idea to try to mount a scope on those anyway) but also definitely isn’t an sks. This looks like something like a remington with an extended box mag? But the media needs to attach it to boogeymen like cold war bad guys or rap music so I guess we can just call it an AK for now

Also, how are we taking pictures like this in 2024? Did the police bring a camcorder from the 2000s from home to snap this picture??

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

Or just some Stalin stan

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.

Is a VHS tape a disk then?

Afraid to chase information just in case it makes you feel out of touch

The prices will continue to be imaginary as you run off with your items

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
