It's art. It's dark, a lot won't like it, and not everyone will get it but that's definitely a political meme. You captured it.

OP sure did. Well said.

Bad taste? Maybe. Art? Absolutely.

It is better for having the phone UI across the top

I really think that's part of the form. I've hung around art assholes long enough to hear how "the brush strokes really show the time period" and "you can tell how intense the scene is because the photographer couldn't adjust the f-stop in time" to realize that memes are art and little shit like the UI is just part of it.

It is better for having the UI at the top, IMO.

Where you you screenshot that from?

[–] DontRedditMyLemmy@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's a cropped image about 1.5 second after Fascist Kirk was taken out.

I get that. But, where were you/they watching that?

[–] xylol@leminal.space 5 points 11 months ago

The internet

You can find a video from about 4m away from Kirk as he was shot. It's quite violent so you have been warned. If you're into it, go for it. If you're squeamish at all: stay away.

[–] nimble@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Search "NSFL charlie Kirk" in a search engine. Found it pretty easily. Not linking it cuz i don't know rules about it in this sub.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I've seen far worse from warzones and stuff. I can't find this video anywhere. Plenty where everything is blurred out, but nothing else. If you don't mind, could you pm me a link if you don't want to post it?

Edit: Nevermind, a post over on !usa@lemmy.ml (yes, an .ml sadly) had it.

No blue pixels, so likely an sm58. But maybe they went cheapo and it if an sm48.
