What happens when your political photo goes viral in 2017

Projection.

Like how cheating spouces are highly suspicious of their spouces cheating. Or how religious people are are afraid of child safety in public restrooms, but take their children to worship every sunday where abuse is well documented.

i know you are kidding, but fun side note, i have a number of artist friends who regularly do gorilla street art, and they sometimes use paste to put things up because it also makes it easy to remove them allowing them to make art without permanent alteration of the environment.

LOVE to have that design spray painted on the 14th St Bridge! And the Memorial, the Key, every rail bridge and flat surface going into DC.

Yeah, I can only read shitty translations of his tweets but his art makes it clear he has strong opinions about the US and Trump.

Wait … the victims of fake news? I don’t quite follow you there. AFAICT, right-wing nut-baggery created and used fake news to further their own ambitions (I’m looking at you, Bannon. Among others), and now they’re also using the term to discredit anything they don’t like. But they aren’t the victims, they’re the creators.

I took @whiterhino to be referring to those who were fooled by the fake news, not the propagators.

There’s a construction company in Tokyo called KKK. I can’t help but chuckle when I see their dump trucks on my way to the office. (After looking it up, I guess it is supposed to be pronounced “three k”)

KK is usually part of company names. It stands for Kabushiki Kaisha and means “share issued company”. That construction company could be from Kawasaki or founded by someone named Kobayashi, etc.

Yeah, I know that it’s an abbreviation. It’s hard not to think of the kkk when I see it though!

I think it’s a good case for showing that most people in Japan aren’t too familiar with the kkk.

I’ll admit 20 years ago I might have said the same thing.

Yes, though much like with any cult, the distinction between victim and propagator isn’t always so clear.

The Japanese equivalent of a limited company is a Kabushiki Kaisha often abbreviated K.K. If your company name begins with a K it must be very tempting to call yourselves KKK…

In the case the company is actually called Kkk K.K…
