I'm guessing most would assume this is about nationalists, and I don't think even the nationalists would imagine Banksy is on their side?

- gkoberger 5mo agoI think you'd be surprised. People interpret art how they want. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musicians_who_oppose_Donald_Trump%27s_use_of_their_music https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musicians_who_oppose_Donald_Tr...
- pstuart 5mo agoI'm tempted to agree, specifically because of the depicted flag waver. That person embodies the leadership of the status quo, and nationalism is a core component of that. Flags are literally a statement of identity, but I think that comes in two distinct flavors: 1. The national flag which is planted in a state of ownership and assimilation 2. A protest flag to state to others that they are not alone in their protest. I could be missing something but I think it is effectively this simple.
