Posted this yesterday on c/main just to wake up today to see we have c/art now. Shameless OC crosspost then!

Saw the TIME cover, got drunk, made this.

Compare to the original here in a post from @FRIENDLY_BUTTMUNCHER. He and a bottle of Martini are responsible for this.

      Now I'm tempted to tweet it pretending it's the original to see how many people will get angry at TIME magazine for even mentioning BLM or MAS.

      Alas, I have close to no followers so my shit posting capabilities are low :deeper-sadness:

        I legit suspected it was real. BLM for obvious reasons and MAS because "they got voted in too, right?". A liberal could definitely have come up with that when trying to imagine a young person

          the thicc hand is swollen from carpal-tunnel and inflammation from heavy posting. the thin hand represents our praxis. it's calling us all libs basically

            I'd add that the thin hand is of course the volcel one as well as the one responsible for maintaining praxis. Allow me to explain.

            Like you said, the posting one grows thicc, while the volcel hand is under strain of blood loss due to the constant saluting gesture that prevents it from extracting vital essence, the preservation of which is necessary for posting praxis :fidel-salute:

          Ah yes I understand now. Well, if we're talking about the newly improved and clearly superior version then obviously one of the readings points to the collective need for upholding the pig poop balls on which our electoral effort stands, like a house on a strong foundation.

        To be honest though it's most likely just a meaningless appropriation of a number of black liberation and feminist symbology that often use hands and hand gestures. That's my best honest guess at least.
