TOTW: Shirts that go hard

My style and my politics seem to go together well - while anarchists come in many shapes and sizes, graphic tees, often black, seem to be part of our uniform of choice. But what makes a good tee? What shirts go as hard as our politics?

Personally I’m a fan of my submedia “I heart Montreal” shirt with a burning cop car instead of a heart, and there’s always this recent classic from bumlung. But also keep in mind that “hard” isn’t all violence and insurrecto fit - “hard” here means making a statement. They can be amusing, confusing, and are almost always at least a little inappropriate in certain settings. Take something like this, or this. The possibilities are endless.

What are the best anarchist (or anarchisty) shirts you’ve seen? What are shirts you wished existed?

Graphic t-shirts attract unwanted attention to someone who might later be picked apart from a lineup, making them distinguishable in security footage and identifiable by looking at records of who bought those rare t-shirts, like what happened to Lore-Elisabeth Blumenthal. They also turn important serious causes (no fun allowed, only accepted garment is patchwork maked from stinky recycled crusty fabric) into consumer items used for virtue signaling, it recuperates anarchism by commodifying it.

what a downer, like buzzkill city, my dude.

not that you're wrong, still :(

They been polishing the art of double entendre and other types of edgelord vagueness. It can super-effective camouflage against the authoritarian dumbos and Karens, while allowing for the more intelligent to get the message. Only thing the hipster done wrong is to get so vague they get lost (even themselves) in figurative trixxx.

why is this so hard to upload anything in there? It says "max 5mb" file size limit but when trying to upload a 2mb pic it blocked it with an error message.

Secret handshake much?

Sugarbombing is dope and they show up to anarchist events. Their anime pop is awesome and fun.
