just made a thread on a project i did about soviet propaganda. along the way i collected a lot of images i didn't use. i was looking for the best propaganda images about religion. here's a thread of them. 1. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/74ca249a772e395a9bc0766cc6c89b03b0804f1e0247b99270decf618ccdd8bc.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/dd5c0fdb35f6831b2b7df713d0113e71bfb9598ee567aeea53600e6d0c42a9af.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/d130ddf73d1c0a21117cd5c2dac7c3f51b47079b9d36752211769f11aa3dbc14.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/a616483d66bab2838bb0050b71d483e063ab2cc2a02a35f0b0fd6a98882bac1d.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/2aea9c845990acec3e1e6f65cdcb903309cf91e84e1ebe9ed64e0807e544ac7c.file

flipped my quote tweets (inverted myself). below is actually the tweet that i usually have pinned (general op). as long as we're here, here's an image i found along the way here but didn't use: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/89c9ae16e61aad1680279a34764bc34d1a099b558d6ca6da4fcd33b1ab347a9d.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/c388b1d40f7a63043a7c6b1490deded3f6fb8895d2aa9614275ad5efd5946b2a.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/adae38e74d308fdfd5dc5cb389d5a3d08bff762459c4b43bbe4c2fca440808c7.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/c6d6ae5e136b4ba4c5b2896aae3ae5e1d52c84128560935c90ead1973c70852b.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/75715f77e9d43f826aee3b106172f67bb27e4cb2af08e2e2d8dac806d5e755fe.file

this is fun. its like clearing out the files and catching people up before the year ends and we move to the next chapter. this was... 4 or 5 years ago. crazy. these are in my shop, its in the below tweet, along with the stuff im currently up to: (thanks) https://hell.twtr.plus/media/a7a9535fb79db933aab6a64f3bcfc4b1b4541fb7199f55669b5da9c7d7ba7509.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/9d8282f6940a7030c3007cb6c4bd01d9ee29df9ceb692c316036818b0f4df186.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/ca6b8bdaed4fb0238f6a3115b473a03b4e608ce0c3f4f1567e64179b4b078be9.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/3f6bdcbbf5d5dd56b575873f08109751333e9d1d95d9e2422f2c99b7a317d99a.file

finally: i love the symbolism here. it's rare i encounter totally new combinations of symbols but the priest milking the church is great. interestingly, some people didn't like this but, this was my favorite. a cow isn't a negative thing to me: it's life giving, nourishing, etc. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/fbde63ca0fa4292f739bf040b5bea1d402921dae0ff0bdc60ac500e72a6ef6eb.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/1dcbd93ca33b002f70b3a064f11e6cf3b58c45bd6fae3b67c827c6956f50ca93.file

this is from the cover of an atheist magazine. this one was interesting because it almost already reads as a pro-religion image, to me. i just clarified the way i was already perceiving it: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/7145b34831165b06fdf2805de432fb4d87a142875989ecc22fe78de42b36b5ed.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/8206b3be04c80588969b8d81a0ad9c364d85642d59963e93e3c8ac05c5b14286.file

this is a cool one i found that i instantly knew i would use. the text on the left says "everybody understands that where work is being done, the priest and the drunk are both doing harm". i suppose a lot of this operates on an inverted perception of tech as positive or negative https://hell.twtr.plus/media/bbf7d3133658c6d5a8601af5efd4f7c404e4fec4457d7165c61e255cc3eddd8b.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/7b71b9b1b4b5617f5839c8282c33b4d6d488332cf6bb0915b7393c46e4eda4e6.file

second: this "i see no God" image is very well known. in a sense, this has become somewhat of a universal trope. i thought this was interesting as we generally do not directly see God, but God sees all things. therefore this one basically directed itself: https://hell.twtr.plus/media/246e71d85dd9ed6a6cee8b2917f29566eaf1cfa57f06bed4ec67a2d9aaf2d3c2.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/d3d4d104a409d3c8b8218a50011dbf10bd3b4b3d679d055f935b4a5c50022f51.file

the first one: this kicked off the idea because when i first looked at this, i didn't see this woman as locked away in a negative sense. i saw her as tucked away into a type of safe haven. that's kind of what spirituality is. the original says: "a prison for the heart and mind". https://hell.twtr.plus/media/4e8f107790bfc783ef7f002a88103b42f79585c69b3d167256d7e2c3bb40526c.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/c8b560868901fe6bc4b0e96179db1b26abb78d98180c9787af0f75906ae9cb5e.file

i was looking at these one day and was thinking that the visual devices in them were very strong - look at this one below. in fact, the communication is so strong that you could easily flip the pieces around and invert their message. so, i decided to do that. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/4e8f107790bfc783ef7f002a88103b42f79585c69b3d167256d7e2c3bb40526c.file
