Bullet comparison[edit]

Is there any famous person related to the following image? Or any other specific message conveyed by the image? Thanks for your support.

It's a comparison of bullets. What makes you think there's anything significant about the image at all beyond the obvious? The guy running the site is apparently no longer associated with the website due to illness or I'd suggest asking him. There are no shortage of similar images on the internet.

Someone suggested me this "The stuff in the picture lead to an uprising, which has affected your life in the most certain way." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.224.50.184 (talk) 15:38, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Then the simplest thing would be to ask them what they meant. Claiming that bullets "led to an uprising" is pretty specious to begin with and these ones were presumably not even 'fired in anger' (I'm assuming they're meant to show something regarding the suppressors the website was centred around).

Could that be an oblique reference to the Sepoy mutiny (which, however, took place before modern bullets such as the ones pictured were invented)? 2601:646:8E01:7E0B:F88D:DE34:7772:8E5B (talk) 03:24, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's a comparison of cartridges, not only of bullets. </pedantry> —Tamfang (talk) 08:21, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Those are the best colors for propaganda purposes. Communist_symbolism#Red_and_black_flag_2 -- List_of_flags_by_color_combination#Red.2C_black_and_white (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 04:44, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Medeis: Trump and the nazis both use red/white/black color scheme [1] (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 06:28, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There’s more to it, actually: the flag colors aren’t random. See red flag (politics) and anarchist symbolism#Black flag. Rgds ✦ _hugarheimur 09:30, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So I guess the Greens just have a bad PR man. μηδείς (talk) 17:29, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

They sang the red flag, they wore the black one... --Jayron 32 22:06, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
