    The art direction is horribly incoherent on the left, they should have just owned it, slap the ssb on the Nazi flags and use the old artwork.

    Omfg, it’s real. I thought this must be some bullshit, but I really need to stop being surprised at things by now.

    I went through their Facebook page the other day. Other than pictures of the Secretary of DoL they haven't posted a minority since this administration took office. It's all white all the time.

    Flags and smiling people looking afar or pointing fingers are the basics of ANY propaganda posters.

    Chinese posters have mainly Asian people. As expected. Arab posters have mostly Arab people depicted. Indian -- with Indians, and African countries tend to draw African people.

    But American is asking "Why German posters from the middle of XX century have mainly white people?" That's the mystery that I won't be able to explain to a common American.

    No ones surprised the German poster has German people. Its the American poster portraying a single demographic that is actually the minority in major US urban centers like New York, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Miami, Dallas, Atlanta and Orlando that sticks out.

    with the difference that the united states have substantial amounts of non-white population, which are not portrayed at all. At least half of those posters should portrait people of color to be representative.

    All white men and two very subordinated white women. This administration is literally kidnapping brown people with secret police All of the civil rights struggles since the 50’s are relevant so yes this is Nazi shit from a Nazi administration

    Since they do it by the book, I wish we could speedrun to the part he blows his orange brains out in the bunker under the Epstein ballroom

  • It's calling back to the 1950s era nostalgia that is currently big on the right. That style is not far removed from the constraints and style of 1930s-40s Germany.

    At least the guy in the middle appears to be of Hispanic descent.

    While I'm no art historian, isn't this the same art style found in regionalism or social realism like Norman Rockwell or posters from that time?

    Rockwell's painting Freedom of Speech

    Similar art styles likely existed around the world during that period. What in this art style distinctly belongs to Nazi Germany & does that distinct variant have a name?

    I'm not art historian or critic either, but this Rockwell painting depicts especially the central figure as more... Dirty, in a realistic way if a guy just going about his day, compared to the perfect manicured white male models who have never worked in the AI fascism slop.

    That's my takeaway anyway
