Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

I absolutely love seeing his stuff. There are dozens of images on that page that are thought provoking and I haven't been able to get some out of my mind. I definitely bookmarked that page.

I drew a child crying in the road about to be run over by the treads of a massive tank. Do you know what was written on that tank? It was poverty /war /corporate media/fascism/socialism/taxes illiteracy. Probably the best satirical image that has ever been created.

How about: the pipeline symbolizes sensational media, who take all attempts at intellectual public discourse and divert it from view.

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The pipeline represents a pipe. Due to a horrendous misunderstanding on the part of the event's technical staff, a nearby sewer has been routed into an opening about half-way along the pipe. At the same time, the cables from the microphones have been stupidly merged with the pipe. This causes the politician's words to go unheard, while nearby, a sewer is harmlessly diverted a few metres back into itself.

[–]redditor3000 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

And we're the sewer, well done.

[–]christianjb 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Actually, this is showing how politicians are cleaning up the sewers by sucking the sewage out of them and converting it into harmless sound waves.

True, but it's important to note irony or sarcasm are not the only components of satire... parody or caricature is another important 'ingredient', for example.

in the OP's defense, the artist is known for his satirical work. the website that showcases his work, http://capu.pl/node/271 is for example titled, Satirical drawings of Pawła Kuczyńskiego.

But this is not the author's website, it's just a website like izismile and similar that posts images from the internet. I think this gallery is as close to author's website as you can get, because he's posted these images there himself.

Blah blah blah politicians lie blah blah blah

believe it or not most politicians, even the ones you don't like, are far smarter than you or me. Most of these guys have been to the world's best universities and come out with top grades. I don't know how it is in the US but in the the UK a lot of politicians have left high paying jobs (often in the millions) to earn a comparatively low salary because they truly believe in what they're doing. You know who the real 'garbage spewers' are? The moronic electorate who blame absolutely everything on the government. Don't get me wrong, there are some bad politicians out there but there's a lot of good ones as well. This isn't satire, this is mindless hyperbole.

[–]ihu 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't know how it is in the US

Here's how it is:

http://www.insidepolitics.org/heard/heard32300.html Bush was the US president from 2000-2008, Gore was his opponent in 2000 and Kerry was his opponent in 2004 (The site design has me uncomfortable with the reputability of this source, please correct if wrong.)

http://politicalwire.com/archives/2011/08/05/perrys_grades.html Perry is the governor of Texas running for President in 2012

http://www.thestranger.com/images/blogimages/2011/06/16/1308242764-bachmannquote.jpeg Michele Bachmann, House Representative, running for president in 2012. She pretty much speaks for herself.

I have observed no reasons to believe that politicians get where they are by their intelligence in any part of the world. It is, by and large, due to bloodlines, relationships and social status, along with hard work in some cases. Your claim that politicians are smarter than everyone else seems completely unsubstantiated. Please provide evidence to support this revelation.

[–]complete_lies_imo 2 points3 points ago

I can't speak for the UK but this isn't true in the US. Most everyone here, with a few exceptions, are bought by their corporate puppet masters.

Politicians get a bad rap. Good politicians lie because the people don't know what's good for them and you have to lie to get them on board with a plan that's going to be good for everyone. Bad politicians lie because they want to manipulate people and take their power away.

It's a sign of political ignorance to just lump the two together like that. I consider this image inept and puerile.

Good politicians lie because the people don't know what's good for them and you have to lie to get them on board with a plan that's going to be good for everyone.

see, that's the problem. right there.

the system is not designed so that the people get what is good for them, which is pretty nebulous.

the system is designed so that the people get what they want. That is why we elect them because their agenda meets our wishes.

so the good politician you mention is just another patronizing asshole.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's not really patronizing considering most of the time people do get what they ask for - as many government services as possible and a false sense of security from the outside world with little to no taxes to back all that up.

They just aren't always happy with the results.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

to be honest, i didn't give that much thought to which word i would use. "patronising' came close so i used it. I agree it is not very accurate.
