I want to think of this changing flag as an experiment in democracy, or more accurately, an experiment in micro-democracy. - Mike Wolf

The American flags on the moon are all white
Hmm, I didn’t know it at the time, but apparently those all-white American flags that I posted not only look cool but they actually have some truth behind them. Gizmodo reports that the flags posted on the Moon’s surface have all lost their color due to the extreme conditions and lack of atmosphere on the lunar surface. Just like things fade in the sun here on earth, they also do so on the moon but at a much quicker pace.

“Pollution is in fashion: it takes hold of the entire life of society. It reveals itself everywhere as ideology made real, and it gains on the ground as a real process. These two antagonistic movements—the supreme stage of production and the project of its total negation—grow together. They are the two sides through which a single historical moment manifests itself: the impossibility of the continuation of the current order. Science now only discusses the expiration date and the palliatives that, if one applies them diligently, can slightly delay it. But we are forced to apply them with open eyes. Revolution or death: this slogan is no longer the lyrical expression of the consciousness that revolts; it is the last word of the scientific thought of our century.” — Guy Debord, 1971 (paraphrased and condensed)
