    There are two things here that are adding to its meaning that remove the ambiguity once you are aware. I suspect your ignorance gives a few things away about your but its ok :)

    The raised fist image is “The Battle of Los Angeles” and was used as a cover art for one of the albums for Rage Against the Machine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Battle_of_Los_Angeles_(album)

    if you lived in the late 1990’s, it was very iconic

      I am aware of the band, but had never seen the album art, so yeah this makes sense. I was thinking along the lines of “why is this suddenly woke” types seeing this as art to endorse them and feeling bold off of it.

      Thank you and u/octopus_ink@lemmy.ml for context :)
