    Imagine that mural in the US, the former land of the free. Trump would probably send his GeStaPo immediately to take down the terrorists who painted this.

        ICE is the police force which directly reports to the Executive Branch, which is why it is Gestapo.

        FBI would be whatever was left of the Wehrmacht when Hitler took power, perhaps the Feldgendarmerie.

          The Wehrmacht was literally the army. So no, not the FBI.

          The SA was a bunch of complete morons that attacked people and caused riots and got so out of hand that the government couldn’t handle them anymore. The Gestapo was smart.

            The Wehrmacht was the entire republic, my dude. It was the feds. And the Feldgendarmerie were its federal law enforcers.

        The FBI is the Gestapo

        Not yet. When they start eliminating all the brown shirts, AKA ICE then they will be the Gestapo. I wonder how many of them realize that they are scheduled to be eliminated in the plan.

          What neighbors? Any house that sold in the last TEN years was bought by some commercial endeavor. Rental, Airbnb, tax writeoff…

          I don’t have neighbors, just some people passing through.

              I caught vandals trying to paint over it. I won in court. They had to pay me for damages.

              It’s making me money.

            It has turned into an interesting social experiment.

            This small town is economically divided. Half the people work for the government in one way or another. Police, Sheriff, Highway Patrol, Forestry, BLM, Fire department…

            The other half is on welfare.

            The well-to-do people HATE it. I have been flipped off by some of the city council officers. It’s anyone who is driving a new car dislikes my “art”.

            The poor people LOVE it. They shake my hand and tell me to “Keep it up”.

            So… it looks like I’m working for the poor man.

                When I retired, I had a desire to explore the art world. My first BIG project was this dictionary I tied to the table with chains. Title: Hard Bound, Bound Hard.

                It is my interpretation of things like when you buy a John Deere tractor and they tell you you can’t work on it. You own it but it’s not yours. We are starved for knowledge but drowning in information.

                  Dunno how I feel about painting a bunch of swastikas on the side of your house, but I love your energy comrade. It’s a brave new world.

                  be mindful of what you post online, but I’m sure you appreciate the risks, take care.
