Call it copium but this honestly feels like a sea change in regards to americans not being servile little wimps who lick boot.

I learned long ago not to trust in hope that Americans would have any balls, and I ain't about to start now. I feel revolution on the breeze, but until it becomes a gust I dare not return to the hellhole from which I came. No point fighting alone

I don't know if it will directly lead to anything but even if it doesn't certain histories will probably mention it as part of the significant events of the year if not the decade.

There have been quite a few events in the past month indicating a new stage of class struggle. I think there are a few more stages to go, but the cool zone cometh

that's a pretty nice banner, somebody must have ordered this as soon as the news dropped on Friday

I was wondering about that too. That's a professionally-made banner. Good design too. I wondered if the printer did it for free or at least at cost.

Could have been homemade, it's surprisingly easy to project a design onto a banner and fill it in, wouldn't take more than a few hours if you have the experience.

maybe, it's very neatly executed if so. the wind vents look machine cut to me as well but who knows

It does, but I have made banners with pretty intricate designs that look a little messy up close, but shockingly neat from a distance like this.

It's hard to tell what is ripples in the fabric vs slightly messy lines

Or they worked at a print shop

The Blue Cross Blue Shield headquarters for Illinois is further up the road by Millenium Park, if anyone wanted to go sightseeing

In a ridiculously expensive office tower. They built a tower. Then built another one on top of it.

Pretty sure it's right off the highway because I vaguely remember it being a landmark indicting that you're going to spend the next three to five hours driving through Chicago.

As a Chicagoan, this is ludicrously based

Many of us americans only recognize messages delivered through corpospeak/iconography
