I get the picture but not the inference of the context of the picture and how it relates to Chovin. You can show it and some might get but unless I know what the actual picture was, a Chinese farmer executed by commies which were a mob rule and used terror to pass their land reforms, same with Chovin, trial influenced by politics and a person who was judged upon by fear. See, I get it because I can establish the context between the two pictures, clear line logic and distinction between it. OP just dropped a title and a picture and expected people to figure out the context, the same like when you type out a title like "This is the end of america." then link to an archive.is page about how the Fed has printed more money, I don't get the context of what OP is so hyperbolic about.
If you take the 2 minutes to source and explain your point, I get it then. Instead of me needing to source the picture of my own, saw it was a Chinese historical photo, then figured out the connected.
I clipped the pic somewhere else and didn't know the exact circumstance, so thanks for that.
This is what Maoist people's trials looked like. This is also what America's current trials look like except they let us keep our shoes on. Otherwise the differences are few.
Sometimes saying less is more. Like art,, this doesn't need context and will have nuanced impacts on different people based on their own experiences. Explicit explanation damages that impact.
