Propaganda…

My propaganda poster is an obvious choice.  Most of the symbolism is also quite obvious, but I wanted to point out a couple of things from my older generation.  Atop the flag-pole is the old USSR hammer and sickle symbol, pointing towards a return to our past (making America great AGAIN) – really, decades prior have not been greater than these.  Much of the social issues we are tackling today were behind closed doors in our past.  While we have a long way to go, I feel we are much more tolerant than we were in the past.

“Slave Leia” – in my generation, that image was the epitome of female denegration and abuse.  Princess Leia, the most virgin and pristine example of intergalactic womanhood was sold and abused (likely sexually deflowered) by Jabba the Hut and his cretins.  Every adolescent male in my generation wanted Jabba the Hut to die a thousand deaths for enslaving  Princess Leia in chains.  This image was a good one for that reason.
