On Visual Representations, Inclusionary Symbols*, Offensive Weapons, Flags & Standards




What's the same?  What's different?  

What's the first thing you notice in each representation?

What stays with you as an overall impression?

Steve Sailer commented that the Mexican guy with the work boots is the only one who looks like he knows what he's doing.

Thanks for posting this, I think I first saw this at Ace's. The top poster, especially after recent events, looks like they're ripping the flag out. The black bagged woman looks delighted to find a hole to plant an IED. The two Hispanos or Latinics have just scampered across the border and are just passing through, Titus wants to smoke the pole, The black(?) guy has dropped his torch and Mia on the right is still pissed at being let go at Land O Lakes.

The white guy is kneeling.

Rainbow of diverse stereotypes.
Communities: Organized!

Gay not really helping
Fat white woman in Mao pantsuit minimally helping
White working class kneeler man bearing the weight
Sith lord/muslim directing traffic (put it there)
Black man and Indian woman maintaining balance because there's nothing else for them to do.

Your uncle would have been at Okinawa, not Iwo.

2nd MarDiv, right?

There's a black guy in that?

I always assumed he fought at Okinawa but I have never confirmed that. The fierceness of the fighting there made me thankful that we nuked the mainland rather than having to invade it.

I see Elizabeth Warren is in the photo. Maybe his VP?
