    This isn’t like tears of their enemies though, it just evokes empathy. I haven’t cried in a long time, don’t cry often, and didn’t cry about this image. It’s just a sad image.

    It’s close to actual reality, where a lady probably previously working in a kitchen in a hairnet is sad that she’s being deported, and some villainous, stone-faced everyman tries to look tough while standing in front of a flag.

    Usually they add in some fascist elements that make it look more glorious to be a sack of shit, but they didn’t even do that with this image.
