I’m a little lost on the imagery here
The original picture is like freedom at the top at the expense of soldiers lives, this is just a twist on it meant to be funny I assume because normally shoplifters are not thought of in a favorable light by most.
the original image I get, it’s the text I dont
The shoplifters are literally lifting the shops
I guess I can see that in the image, but I don’t get the meaning behind it.
It’s a play on words; see it as a bunch of people lifting up something—in this case, a shop—, and not actual shoplifting (robbery)
Ohhhh! Thank you, I didnt realise it was a pun!
I thought it was a social commentary that shoplifters were providing a service or sacrifice to keep shops afloat, and I wasnt getting it
The people on top represent the shop, the people underneath are lifting the shop up or keeping it up, hence shop-lifters instead of the definition of a shoplifter being someone who steals, it’s a play on the word to be literally lifting up the shop.
Even though the original image represents that our society is held up by the lives of soldiers that fought for our country. Its meant to be funny because it’s literal.
Unite and take over.
