2014 throwback:
They were never my favorite band. I hate the lyrics, but I like the sound.
-- Paul Ryan to NYT when asked if he was a fan of rage against the machine
Not sure if this is better or worse than JD: ::: spoiler spoiler
:::Don’t mistake me, I clearly see that Ryan has a whole lotta “rage” in him: A rage against women, a rage against immigrants, a rage against workers, a rage against gays, a rage against the poor, a rage against the environment. Basically the only thing he’s not raging against is the privileged elite he’s groveling in front of for campaign contributions.

No, no... I've been assured online it wasn't actually a Nazi salute.

The only thing I don't like about this is the ambiguity. It is not perfectly clear (to me at least) that this isn't a nazi saying I will do what I want vs the protest art I think (and the rest of the comment section) it is. Like it needs just an extra touch to be explicitly anti fascist and not get co-opted.

Although I see your point, I think the origin point (or at least popularization point) that I guarantee nearly all of us are mentally referencing when we read it supplies that explicit point of reference, at least in my opinion.

There are two things here that are adding to its meaning that remove the ambiguity once you are aware. I suspect your ignorance gives a few things away about your but its ok :)
The raised fist image is "The Battle of Los Angeles" and was used as a cover art for one of the albums for Rage Against the Machine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Battle_of_Los_Angeles_(album)
if you lived in the late 1990's, it was very iconic

I am aware of the band, but had never seen the album art, so yeah this makes sense. I was thinking along the lines of "why is this suddenly woke" types seeing this as art to endorse them and feeling bold off of it.
Thank you and u/octopus_ink@lemmy.ml for context :)

To me the small red mark on the head is a gunshot/headshot and thus pretty clear.

This image was very close to being OP. 😁

Fist in the air in the land of hypocrisy.

Sadly, RATM are now part of the machine. Last time they were in my city, tickets to their concert were $500+ and the concert had corporate sponsors

Feels different when it's against your side isn't it

If by "my side" you mean "all Americans including those who voted for Trump" then yes. The only things helped by Trump policies are keeping the rich rich and the hateful satisfied that their favorite targets are being targeted and their least favorite gender has been put back in her place.
My message toward magas and Republicans has not changed, they have been the party deserving nothing but scorn and derision for a long time now.

How do you mean?
-
To be fair, this side is Americans. Your side are a bunch of morons who wave flags of enemy nations and worship trump like a king.
