From my own writer's experience, finding good images with reasonable licensing is hard. Unless you want to pay significant royalties (which may sink your writing activity to unsustainably deep red numbers) or risk being target of a copyright troll company, you are stuck with free and libre images, which often do not cover exactly what you want to.
- usrusr 4y agoNot disagreeing, but that's not what's happening in the article: those pictures of Mexican cartel army are precisely about Mexican cartel army and not random stand-ins. And I think the author is making a very interesting point. That point is not at all about armoured vehicles and guns, it's about extractive business as opposed to something more complex. The claim is not that Putin generation oligarchs use the same cars and guns Mexican cartel power uses, it's that oil and gas have a lot in common with avocados. And that's a really valuable observation.
