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!

It just smells like "I don't care if it isn't true, it's still evil and should be acted upon" some people respond with when they tout false statistics or facts when it comes to queer pedofilia or minority crimes and someone fact checks
Are you an Engineer? Seems reasonable to me. Do you have a calculation? https://www.pcmag.com/news/elon-musk-running-us-on-solar-requires-100-miles-square-of-panels You don't think $14 Billion could power 40 million houses for a year with solar? How is that "saying nothing?" It's saying money better spent constructively rather than destructively both to Palestinian civilians and the climate.
I think it's neglecting a big part of solar cost to say that circa 341 dollar would be sufficient to power a household for a year unless that household had a lot of prerequisites already filled such as already having the solar installed plus being power efficient in general (such as using air heat pump rather than older heating and cooling solutions).
If you don't count "microproducers" of solar power with panels of their own roof I have no idea of the cost of construction, production and delivery of the power so I guess if it's built close enough to a large population it might work.
Im not an engineer, Ive only researched the cost and savings for my own property in the north of Sweden so there is a huge difference in market and population. For me the panel and control installation would be around 8,000 USD due to necessity for wiring rework as well
