Ever since the first time I saw this illustration, my initial impression was of an attempt at self harm from it. I understand it is supposed to imply someone reaching for a book from a stack/shelf in a library, but it's never been my first impression of it. Just seems like a weird illustration.
This is NOT intended to be a comment on the site itself or anything sectarian. To paraphrase: I'm philosophically an anarchist, so I'm pragmatically a communist, so I'm currently a socialist.

Maybe I'm just perpetually defaulting to doomer galaxy-brain ?

I don’t get it. Is it because shoes being strung up is a common indicator that a gang is nearby?

spoilerIt brings to mind someone about to hang themselves for me due to the single foot on the stool. That's the implication that registers first at least.

Oh lol. I didn’t know it was that. I thought it was the back of a car riding underneath a pair of shoes
