Hrm. It took six months to make so it's unlikely we could deploy this strategy at scale but I praise the innovation.

Sculptor Chavis Mármol has never owned a car, but that’s never inhibited his drive. Earlier this month, the 42-year-old Mexico City-based artist (who travels largely by bicycle) dropped a nine-ton replica of an Olmec head onto the roof of a blue Tesla Model 3 in a crushing display posted to Instagram on March 11. Mármol told Hyperallergic that his intention was “to satirize the Tesla brand and its creator.”
we could probably mold the olmec heads to help shave off time, but i think you're right in that we will have to make due w swasti-car stickers. lol
This is such beautiful and inspiring art. Furthermore, this brilliant artist's objective is so noble. Thank you for sharing this.
i wish i shared the prevailing sentiment among latin america's leftists and artists that their respective indigenous heritages will ultimately outlast western colonialist dominance since they had already died out and the type that's become popular today is a revisionist version that was largely reconstructed from colonial sources.
it's clear to me that it comes from some sort of desire for a hopeful future that's beyond the staggering dominance that western capitalists enjoy today, somewhat like how leftists of the global north expect the inevitable demise due to capitalism's inherent contradictions; but i strongly suspect that there will be another fdr like figure or movement that will stave off the demise again with another welfare state and keep the train of needless suffering chugging along for another century or so.
Is this a Simpsons episode?
