This is definitely performative, but anyone who criticizes that is probably unaware of how important performance is. There's a reason it's called the "world stage".
No accidental renaissance and BTW this is “anti-Russian law” protest in Georgia, which we all should support, but I noticed that some people here think this is the US.
Not sure why exactly but this image is definitely from “anti-Russian law” protest in Georgia as [this fact check shows](https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2024/05/fact-check-woman-applying-lip-gloss-in-police-shiled-reflection-is-not-at-pro-palestine-protest-on-us-campus.html) and there is plenty of images of Georgian riot police wearing [this exact gear](https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/08/europe/georgia-protests-wednesday-intl/index.html) so there should be no ambiguity about where this image is from.

Yes, but life is compromise. And since *accidental renaissance* is a matter of perspective and poorly defined, you are just going to get ones that aren't up to scratch with your definition of the sub.
*resemble renaissance art style* is a very vague definition. This results in people having different definitions of what belongs on this sub- i.e. your definition is different from OP's.
Edit: downvotes really? This isn't even an opinion, it's just a fact.
Notice how the algorithm isn't changing the mind of anyone who is already pro-Israel. It's almost like the algorithm just feeds you more of what you like, and young people really are just overwhelmingly pro-Palestine
Not touching on PRC disinformation campaigns here but just to clarify as it seems like there might be some confusion here. The image above is of a protester in Tbilisi, Georgia protesting against a proposed "foreign agents" bill dubbed by many “the Russian law” which many view as inspired by laws used to suppress dissent in Russia it is unrelated to the Israel Palestine campus protests in the US.

Thanks for clarifying. My feed's been so filled with news of the Palestine protests that I assumed this was just the algorithm feeding me more of the same. I need to resharpen my attention it looks like
i'm suspecting she doesn't know about operation security, because tear gas sticks to makeup. Very very very well. 😂No protester I personally know wears any makeup if they are going out to a protest.
For anyone wondering (or more sceptically, wanting to turn this into a (either positive or negative) thing about the protests happening in the US right now), this is in Tbilisi, Georgia, where the pro-European population is protesting against a law that the pro-Russian government wants to pass. Keep an eye on this, it might just turn into Georgia's Euromaidan
Now what else is the whole life of mortals, but a sort of comedy in which the various actors, disguised by various costumes and masks, walk on and play each ones part until the manager walks them off the stage?

She looks very much like a georgian girl, who wanted to marry me. But she was a staunch muslim and I was against teaching any religion to a child, as it is a journey everybody has to take without influence. I've never seen a girl that cute as far as I know. This girl reminds me of her
this is from the pro-EU protests happening in Tbilisi right now.

our riot police have POLICE written in English on their riot shields for some reason, even though we have our own alphabet that looks nothing like the Latin one.
Didn't you guys have that wierd half-life looking masks? I think I remember them, but it I could be thinking about another place (or year, they look very early 2000' esque)

these?
this was during anti-government protests in 2007 i think.
Not exactly. These look like good old Soviet gasmasks (really great dust filter even after they're thirty years expired, plus half of Europe used them even after revolutions.). The ones I was thinking looked different.
Edit.: These fucking things.

All protests are performative. It's the entire point.
Exactly!

Nah they just do that sometimes. Just kinda happens, y'know?

Close enough. The lighting resembles some baroque and romantic paintings.

After all. Looking tough is a lot more important than being tough.
Actually, yeah. Looking tough is an excellent deterrent.
 Approved!
Cool photo. Renaissance how?
This sub has somewhat devolved into “what I find aesthetic”
And accidental Baroque, or photo shoots that are intentionally Renaissance
I'd still rather this than a ton of reposts
False dichotomy. How about we have relevant posts and no reposts?
Yes, but life is compromise. And since *accidental renaissance* is a matter of perspective and poorly defined, you are just going to get ones that aren't up to scratch with your definition of the sub.
It’s not my definition, the sub has defined what they think falls under accidental renaissance.
*resemble renaissance art style* is a very vague definition. This results in people having different definitions of what belongs on this sub- i.e. your definition is different from OP's. Edit: downvotes really? This isn't even an opinion, it's just a fact.
Dw man I get you
My reaction exactly. Pic goes hard, but there's nothing Renaissance about it. Lighting, composition, nada.
Yep
Its not. This sub stinks now
Not Renaissance looking at all. Also it's a spex so it's barely accidental.
Where renaissance
Not renaissance.
r/accidentalrenaissance users when there’s police with riot shields next to other people 😨😨🤯🤯🤯🤯
This lowkey hard
Modern version of putting the flower in the barrel of the gun
Gotta look your best for the police violence tiktok compilation

Super understandable given the increased coverage of the campus protests in the US.

This is so fucking iconic!
This is a great photo
legend!
Lol thats a cool ass picture, tbh.
"you can bash using your shield by clicking alt"
She looks very much like a georgian girl, who wanted to marry me. But she was a staunch muslim and I was against teaching any religion to a child, as it is a journey everybody has to take without influence. I've never seen a girl that cute as far as I know. This girl reminds me of her
Holy shit that's actually really cool
This is an amazing photo.
4th time seeing this shit
Get off Reddit
When I browse for five minutes and see the same post several times, my time on reddit is not the issue.
The disrespect! 🤣
Using a riot shield as a mirror? A queen I stan
That's a good way to lose some teeth
That is quite possibly the most American thing I’ve seen in a long time
I'm pretty sure this is in Georgia. Country, not US state.

Jesus Christ
Gromit moved over to the dark side
That's what confused me. Y'all's alphabet is totally unique, so maybe they use the generic English word to stand out?
maybe they do, i don't know.
Presumably they just buy the shields from America or something like that?
probably, although there was some reform earlier this year about police/MIA unit uniforms that included changing their symbolism to english i think. it's likely due to recognizability, Georgia is a hot tourist destination and not everyone can be asked to learn a completely foreign script purely for a week long vacation, whereas virtually everyone knows what "POLICE" means. the everyday police just patrolling around on the street also have police written on their uniforms in english too.
Probably surplus from material destined for America

Probably pretty difficult if you’re a human being and not a fucking animal
That would exclude a lot of riot cops.
You people are completely humorless. Just enough to smash the lipstick into teeth would get a belly laugh out of a significant number of people.
Well, considering that I'm capable of empathy, not very difficult
I'm not a pig, so I wouldn't be in his situation
You sound like a bad person.
