A place to share activist and polemical art (visual and textual art with a critical social message).
Didactic, informatively conceptual arts imply collective action, encouraging us to make the world a better place.
Street art, murals, stickers, zines, and other forms of eye-catching arts can be shared with others and discussed here.
You may include photos of your own or other's artworks displayed in public.
Art opposing the Right Wing is the so far the most popular.
Enjoy! Looking forward to seeing and discussing what is shared!

How is "this" an oversimplification exactly? Yes, there is an interrelationship between the factors you quote. Yes, short-term spending on the military might improve the economy initially, but, like the quote says, the effect is nonlinear and inhibits growth in the long run.
Your quote supports rather than refutes the claim of this activist infographic. I would have to delve deeper into their sourcing, but the position is still strong overall.
Instead of using war to stimulate the economy, a Green New Deal could and the benefit would be sustained long term. It just takes large-scale leadership.
