Where’s the flag for Hannah Montana Linux

    Very ironic use of war propaganda, considering that Microsoft's market model is closer to the colonial powers that usually use this format - and the fact that linux often attracts anarchists due to its open, collaborative design.

    Is there specific war propaganda this is mirroring? Propaganda isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's very helpful in revolutionary resistance movements. Is this mirroring something specific or are you just talking about the aesthetics of it?

    It's a well-known propaganda poster from WW2.

    Famously, peaceful movements don't use a lot of propaganda posters.

    Maybe we ask Shepard Fairey to do one for us? Or just some psychedelic 70's concert poster with distros?

    Edit: Don't crucify me for using AI:

    Edit 2: People downvoting, I was using AI as the tool it's meant to be - a quick first draft, proof of concept to sort out ideas. I'm not going to spend hours mocking up both of these for a comment on a meme. I will spend time on one of them, maybe, later. Real human time with 10 fingers and eyes that aren't all squishy.

    The only one I cannot remember off the top of my head right now is the one directly behind Kali. I'm gonna have to check online because I think I know what it is, but I know it's not Whonix.

    Did some looking while writing this comment and can't find it right now, so I'll probably leave an edit when I do.
