Trump wouldn't eat the flag, he'd use it to wipe his shit

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

This is a really good reference to classical Roman mythology. Something that the US government usually appreciates.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago (3 children)

It's a reference to Goya a Spanish painter.we don't really know if this painting was about chronos, that's a theory.

Is there an artist or is this AI?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Ai, it's a parody of a famous painting "Saturn devouring his son".

If you assume ai has artistic intent then sure I suppose.

I'll let it slide. This time...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

I am a happy /c/fuckai subscriber and I am still comfortable admitting that image generators can be great for memes and quick jokes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Agreed, it is pretty spot on. Capturing the originals vacant stare is what makes it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I'm sure there are quite a few people that would love to see him choke on a flag.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think a lot of alcohol poisonings will happen on the day he dies.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Another, yes.

I've turned into a bit of a whiskey maniac since my visit to Ireland last March and enjoyed it more than I thought.

Make one with Net, since he's pulling the puppet strings.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Good one. Not that I can do any better, but would it make more sense to put the statue of liberty there to better reflect the original inspiration?

I would have Trump raping the Statue of Liberty for both the truth and shock value.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Liberty and Justice being assaulted. Apropos. What really sucks is that these were made during his first term, which was nothing compared to the full-on fascist assault he's doing now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Grabbing it by the pussy.

This is based on Goya's famous painting "Saturn Devouring His Son", if anyone was wondering.

[–] [email protected] 40 points 3 days ago (3 children)

One of my favorites. I wish we knew if that's really what he intended to depict - people just guessed.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I dunno, I think that's part of the magic of the Black Paintings. To me, what makes them truly unsettling (in the best way) is the fact that he painted them exclusively for his own desire and that we're limited to guessing the subject matter (which, although ambiguous, was undoubtedly dark).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (3 children)

True, I just always want to know the facts about everything, no matter how insignificant, for historical posterity and my own curiosity.

kolpeshtheyardstick made a pretty great video essay about the work and its historical context and cultural impact. (01:04:19)

I never heard about how it was made before and that really changed how I view the work.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Thanks, I'll listen to this on the commute home.

Might print this out for my next protest sign. Who made this? Doesn't look like AI to me.

Need one of all of the Dems crying “peaceful protests only” as they let him.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

art is lies that reveal the truth

-some artist

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Maybe you’re thinking Alan Moore in V for Vendetta?

Artists use lies to tell the truth, while politicians use them to cover the truth up.
