If the economy is booming, where are the jobs? Also if the jobs are here why am I being told no we are not hiring but we are taking applications?

The poster so looks like USSR propaganda posters from the 50’s

The original #NSDAP fascism art this is copied from "US WORKERS HAVE WOKEN UP"

More direct role model images of the fascist NSDAP

US department of lying?!

I don't believe this design choice to be an accident.

socialist realism is back baby!!!!!!!!

I would love to see the prompt that generated this.

China is winning. The East is Green.

donthe workers know this? btw...looks loke a soviet poster

Soviets had better poster art. This looks like LinkedIn slop.

I wonder what those many MAGA I see on video complaining about not being able to afford food and the mass sackings feel about how the economy is booming. Mind you "booming economy" in politician speech means "rich are getting richer though stocks"...

We shouldn’t keep letting them try to get it right.

Just another damnable lie with racist image normalizing only a young, healthy, white guy as an "American" worker. An image we knew was false before I was born (80 years ago), an image false in every way with a legend false in every way. And the current regime is already inflicting violence

and chaos on our society, with its illegal detentions, illegal use of racial profiling and refusal to use proper warrants and due process to arrest and detain people, its preference for violence rather than legal procedures, its coercive use of National Guard and regular military,

and its constant lying about its assaults on our people and its motives, and its constant attack on the facts (of history, of sciences, of medicine and health, of economics...indeed of everything it doesn't like, including the arts.) It has used government overreach at an insane level.

why does it have to be so on the nose? why the same fascism '36 aesthetics?

Because on top of being the same kind of fascist, they are also completely uncreative and boring, unwilling to step outside the tiny box they put their minds in, but I guess I'm repeating myself

Credit to Johnny Sanphillippo for my awareness of these old Soviet propaganda posters.

To be fair, that poster could just as well have said "Join A Union" - but a better design would have more people in it.

Bullshit

Who came up with this excellent aesthetic?

If they actually put American workers first they would make it easier to unionize!

Any similarities are totally accidental.

Looks like Russian propaganda from the 30s. Not surprising now the US president is a Russian asset.

In the real world, the farm economy is getting spanked. Hard.

Now this right here is funny to me because Caucasians up on signs like they built this shit is absolutely hilarious to me. How it all began, and you still haven’t paid my fucking people. Fuck all these fake ass narratives. The history of this country is that this guy is a lazy fuck.

And a putrid man, the antichrist racist, misogynistic sociopathic psychotic felon foreign operative genocide supporting whack job remains free

Hey the aesthetic is what it is. Surprised that they haven’t tried to hire Ralph Lauren to make the uniforms yet.

Seems familiar

"American workers are put first" they say, and use AI slop to illustrate their point.

The smoke stacks with emphysema beckoning in the clouds Barely credible how an apparently progressive society can wither in the arms of a dementia-addled, populist buffoon & his incoherent sycophants

But will we see this!

National Socialist American Workers' Party (NSAWP)

One land, one people (of the right ethnicity), one party (MAGAs GOP)

Those glorious smokestacks should be spewing gray smoke and the sky should be black! Lee Zeldin falling down on the job

That poster gives Master Race vibes. #woof

And not just on its society. Europe needs to get ready for US aggression, as Denmark is doing already. The UK, in particular, needs to stop cosplaying being the umpteenth state of a fascist US. Otherwise it will become just that.

It's a white "worker" of course, shirt and factory from the the 1950s/1960s, overall style very Soviet-like and the haircut and facial features stolen from Nazi propaganda.

Virile white man at an oil refinery. Wow, two messages for the price of one.

Don’t mention those 600 or so workers that are out of a job now

I don’t see what the problem is. I understand they had a guy called A. R. Yan pose for this image, and I think it came out quite nicely.

Mmmm…hair could be a little lighter. But otherwise it’s a good likeness of him.

A fair point. Very fair indeed.

Tom of Finland!

America is FIRST ... in govt lies!

Butt-chin supremacy.

Butt-chins are the master race. It doesn’t have anything to do w melanation. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE CHIN SHAPE.

International butt-chin breeding program…

Spread this rumor. WE CAN BRING BACK THE HAPSBURG JAW.

I have nothing to gain from this. I have no chin, and neither does my progeny.

Sorry, everyone. I was just knocked out through the screen by this imaginary man’s chin.

👑Kamala won👑 ❌Cheato cheated❌ 🚫He rigged the 2024 election🚫 Just like the RIG in TEXAS BECAUSE HE'S IN THE FILES EPSTEIN! RIGGING! NEW ELECTIONS NOW! ❌ END CITIZENS UNITED ✅ MAKE VOTING DAY A PAID HOLIDAY 🚩NEW ELECTIONS NOW! 🚩NEW ELECTIONS NOW! AMERICA WILL BE BACK. TERMINATE THE TERM!

No, North Korean workers first!

A very "casual Friday" blue collar worker aesthetic, I see. No personal protective equipment, no hi-vis vest, and there isn't even any stains on the shirt. It's so symbolic of the Trump administration: when it is more important to cosplay manual labor than actually do it.

That shirt is straight out of Wendy’s 1985 ad with the Soviet fashion show. “Is next: daywear.” youtu.be/FpypTXccG2I?...

Who you going to believe? Trump or your lying eyes? Reality is a woke liberal conspiracy, Trump says your prices aren’t going up no matter what your pocketbook says.

more coals plz

If we're doing socialist-realist Trumpism shouldn't he look happy about the joyous future that beckons under the omnipotent gaze of the Great Leader? And no smoke belching from the chimneys which are supposed to represent the renaissance of heavy industry. Wreckers! Cliques of wreckers everywhere...

There's nothing remotely "socialist" about anything happening here for actual fucks sake.

@ctxplz.bsky.social

I will most definitely attend to that most promptly, my most esteemed @sotired.bsky.social. Please see 👇 for the ctx chain to your parent post

It’s referring to the art style being aped. I guarantee that the AI prompt that the fashy little intern used contained the words. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociali...

Ahhh gotcha

He is not happy. He is dialed-in. Focused. Happiness must wait as long as there’s work to be done for the Homeland (and the work for the Homeland never ends). Also, there is no smoke from the chimneys bc he forges steel w the raw power of his hands. The factory is just there for ambience.

Socialist? Realist? What?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociali...

Nobody in their right mind would consider contemporary Trump politics this. So my question stands. What...

Socialist-realism is the name of the art style we familiarly associate with Soviet propaganda posters. (Although it was applied to many other art forms in the USSR/Soviet Block.)

I am painfully familiar with this, thanks, I am from Bulgaria. Initially I was unsure if the description was not also supposedly being descriptive of Trump's politics, which is why I asked about it.

It is an art style, that this poster is made in. It really isn't that deep...

I all but guarantee that the fashy broccoli haired intern asked Grok for a poster of a white male worker in front of smoke stacks done in the style of Socialist-Realism.

Yup!

www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

If they are unwilling or unable to learn from the errors we Germans made, they have to learn from the ones they themselves make. No mercy

Heil

This the Trump-America version of Arbeit Macht Frei

Yep, nice picture there of Aryan Andy getting ready to go work down at the asbestos plant.

😁 Quietly humming as he goes “ José can you see By those dawn raids of ICE That MAGA will rise….”

😂😂😂

Hi tovarisch !!

I feel in my waters that this is a lie.

It's just the vibe of the thing...

That worker is suspiciously white.

Arbeit mackt frei.

This looks like AI tbh. Which… doesn’t actually change anything

“Toil for 8 hours a day in your local refinery, if you don’t get maimed in an industrial accident you’ll probably be worn out by your late 50’s but will have to toil on as you won’t be eligible for a pension and you’ll develop cancer and respiratory damage from the toxic environment you toiled in!

…..and with no affordable healthcare

Même esthétique que la stalinienne et l'hitlerienne, quelle surprise! (non)

How very USSR of the 'artist'

Is there a black version, or did they choose this guy because, like Sidney Sweeney, he has great genes?

Prince William?

To me, he gives off young Tony Soprano vibes

Just as an aside, isn't that guy's shirt the wrong color? Should be brown, right?

Has that silver look tho...

Quite astonishingly Brezhnevite.

Visited the national art museum in Tirana, Albania and their realist socialist art section is indeed a good example of insane propaganda.

The creepy children playing soldier is one thing but somehow that painting on the right by Petro Kokushta* is unintentionally completely mad. The dudes are almost floating in the air but also being very unsafe around high voltage wiring. *'Në Lartësitë e Dritës' (Reaching the Heights of Light)

Starship Troopers had to get its inspiration somewhere...

American workers to the fields!! That lettuce isn't going to harvest itself.

Curious as to whether the claims are true. Are wages up etc?

If anything, they're down. The only thing he did that had a direct effect on wages is removing corporate restrictions. They can get away with alot more evil toward their employees now.

It instantly communicates “propaganda”

That is: white, male American workers first.

Same rhetoric Bernie Sanders used when he disparaged and blamed Democrats after he helped Hillary lose. He and his Socialist acolytes hate DEI just like Republicans too

Strong "Tomorrow Belongs to Me" vibes...

Young White Male.

Capitalism in sheep’s clothing.

Looks positively soviet .. capitalist realism perhaps

Every agency under Trump's control (all of them are) is putting out non-stop bullshit as they subvert our Democracy. I am angry, and why did you miserable morons allow this to happen?

Reminiscent of Mao

They're not even trying to make their lies believable.

Straight up soviet propaganda style. 💯

Fucking fantasy world that Trump lives in

When the quarterback ends up in a factory, you don’t need a scoreboard to know who lost.

And the economy isn’t booming.

Felon 47 also posted that there are too many non working days per year and that workers don’t want businesses closed!!!
