    It was chalk. Some protesters were upset about the “vandalism.” Right now, the 50501 in Utah is as radical as ham and American cheese on white bread.

    Graffiti as appetizer in the feast of late-stage capitalism. Charming how the Capitol’s marble sanctity gets a splash of proletarian culinary advice. Utah’s lawmakers push austerity, then clutch pearls when the menu gets literal.

    Revolutionary sloganeering 101: crude, effective, allergic to nuance. Marie Antoinette’s ghost nods approvingly from her guillotine airbnb. But let’s be real—this isn’t vandalism, it’s public service announcements for the oligarchs sunbathing in tax havens.

    Keep the tags coming. If they won’t tax the rich, at least let the walls remind them where this hunger games ends.

      It’s pretty amazing. Something about the symmetry of it, the faux-orderliness of the embossed fonts against the stark blue defiant scrawl, the crowd of people in the distance against the few cops in the foreground. The upwards curve of capitol hill building vs the downward curve of the hats of the cops. The blue sky and text imploring clarity and freedom vs the brown uniforms and dead grass.

      All of it incidental, but captured like it was a planned painting. There’s more I’m sure I’m missing, but yeah, this is an amazing photo.
