    I agree with this especially since it seems like already stressed out cash strapped people are the likeliest to be scanning these. I mean if the goal in and of itself is just to piss people off and you think that’s productive/worthy by itself then go for it I guess

        maybe I’m wrong and this is actually very effective propaganda but it’s very difficult for me to imagine a scenario where any minds are changed by this (again if influencing views is the actual goal and not just Triggering The Libs or whatever). I get the impulse to shake people up but it’s not clear to me the value of pushing violent images in front of random probably lower income people as opposed to yknow messing with actual ghouls in power

          I have zero fucks for respectability politics, or concern about angering the average American, after a year of genocide.

          My fellow Americans and I deserve nothing less than the gulag, my hand is stained with the blood of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, I will not shed a tear because some wine mom saw a shocking picture when she wanted to get a discount on her cancer-causing slop.

          I hope it pisses her off. I hope she spends the next 6 months outraged, I hope she writes to her Congress people, I hope the image of a toddler waving his little stumps around and crying is seared into her brain for the rest of her life. And In 4 years when she’s demanding everyone vote for Gavin newsom, I look forward to triggering her by reminding her that Joe Biden stood there and supplied the bomb that took that took that child’s hands, and that she, just like I, bear responsibility for that crime against humanity.
