Looks good, but the YOU WONT FUCK WITH US MUCH LONGER is a ridiculously blank threat.

[Nolan]

I can imagine cops reading this and giggling.

[Kuppo Shakur]

Yeah, that last line is kind of vague/empty/etc. It almost looks like satire, to be honest.

[Blackscare]

Crimethinc is a joke.

:crying: leave alone the #1 source of romantic-feelgood lifestylism.

[Blackscare]

Sorry chammer, but they're vague pseudo-anarchists with no real political program and a fetish for silly aesthetics.

[Widerstand]

Isn't that what I said? lol.

It still feels good. I'd compare it to listening to Lady Gaga. Little to no artistic value whatsoever, but entertaining nonetheless.

[Blackscare]

Sorry, when I responded all it said in your post was ":crying:"

[Widerstand]

Ah, no prob then. Can't blame you for my ninja-edits.

But the design of the poster is quite good. Message is oversimplified, the question is how much complexity is possible in a poster, but it could have been done better, I think.

I like your avatar. Welcome!

I'd actually have the block of text below the cops so it feels like they're looming over the reader's eye. "You won't fuck with us much longer" up top so it makes the cops in that photo half look like they're looking up at something from that angle.

"In every nation...." is hard to read.

I like the cop on the right if that was a really good photo I'd try to focus on him and lead the impact of the text from right to left from it.

Other baseless threat ideas would include tagging those cops with fake information like "John Smith, Greater London", "Gavin Jones, Reading" with some kind of line pointing at them since we all know they're just people under that gear. That'd take the mask off them without being assholish and threatening. Or maybe more threatening, I'm unsure. Anyway it would be a good way to pull the power out of a boot stomping photo if you're intent on this Crimethink malarky.

I like this. If you always portray them as repressive, beat-em-up monsters/killers in riot gear you might be doing them a favor by intimidating others on your side, while you also alienate the cops from progressive causes ("we are no monsters").

On the other hand, I would not place much hope in agitating the cops, there are certain socialisation processes there that make this not very probable.
