OK, c’est pas vraiment "l’image du jour". Elle correspond plus à la période troublée que nous traversons actuellement.

So, obviously democracy is under attack in a myriad of ways, but this has big “I’m 14 and this is deep” energy.

    If there are indeed more layers to it than the immediatelly obvious (i.e. it actually has what you call "depth") and you're not seing them, then that's you, not others, and your "14 year old" jib is really just you compensating.

    Hello! Apparently I hit the wrong reply button and replied to your comment instead of the image! Sorry about that! Wasn’t trying to imply your comment was shallow or anything, that was my bad!

    I was trying to reply to the original image, which struck me as a shallow interpretation of Franklin’s quote about Liberty being sold out for security. It’s not generally wrong, but I saw a lot of Americans abuse it during the pandemic which was incredibly frustrating.

    Sorry again, didn’t mean to imply your thoughtful addition was bad or anything!
