I remember seeing this on reddit earlier today. My first reaction was that with the bodies layered and the stars above it resembles the American flag and therefore meant to be patriotic or even antipatrotic in some sense. I think its more towards the latter; if the message was about how far we've come from the sacrifices of soldiers/people then the bodies wouldn't be so haphazardly strewn about. Yellow has no place in the American flag at all, making it seem even more antiAmerican or even anticapitalist. It makes me wonder: who or what is this foreign thing that stands upon the discarded to reach at what could have been touched had they worked together instead of died?
