Does no one see the irony in wearing a crown to the "No Kings" protest?

[spayeur@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@Infrogmation Backstory? Just because someone is dressed like something doesn't mean they're acting that way. Take the president, for instance.

ok so *there's* one of those "pictures worth a thousand words".

@Infrogmation

what was the reason of the police?

@epademyc

Fun iconography details: The Statue of Liberty's "crown" represents a radiate halo or nimbus, not a monarch's crown.

Good question! The wireservice photos where I found it didn't give reason of arrest. I don't know who the woman is nor what the charges or allegations against her were.
A quick search found this:

KABC Los Angeles -- Tens of thousands of people rallied and marched peacefully through Downtown Los Angeles on Saturday before tensions escalated later in the night, leading to arrests and minor injuries, according to police.

Cue the signature sound from an old (old!) cop show on tv:
Dumm! De-Dumm! Dumm! Dumb!

How to give your opposition a big boost.

And she's grateful, I think.

@Infrogmation talk about symbolism

- men control what women are allowed to do
- police control what citizens are allowed to do
- the state restricts (individual) liberty

all that in one photo!

@Infrogmation @epademyc
And you think Monarchs who systematically rule claiming divine authority and literally claiming to be god incarnate who used the crown as a physical representation of that authority to be passed down generationally as a physical indicator of the next embodiment of god weren't using the crown to represent divinity? That's all halos represent: divinity. And, that is exactly what most crowns were used to represent.

A crown tells the world "I am the god"

This article contains another image of her...doesn't give specific reason for her arrest but does say they made arrests for "Failure to Disperse."

You mean a human with a crown on? Do you know what semantics are?
