"How dare you peasants act like your opinion matters. We're gonna be more shit, now."

-The ruling class

Also the ruling class: "We'd get shittier anyway, but it's nice to have an excuse. Again, fuck you peasants."

Further from the ruling class: "You peasants should be greateful that we're not as shit as those other guys *points at the worst possible example in the World*"

This is neat, I saw someone at a protest a few weeks ago with this same sign, didn't realise it had a history.

It’s a recent photo (as in the last 20 years), photographer just prefers black and white.

Still rad though.

From what I can tell, this was a climate change protest in response to the 2020 bushfires in Aus. Looks likes that's scomo's face on the sign but could be wildly wrong.

edit: sorry wrong year

That's scomo alright, his silhouette would look that unmistakably smug from a mile away.
