AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.
This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.
๐ Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.
๐ Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".
๐ Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.
๐ The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.
๐ NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.
๐ธ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.
๐ฉโ๐ฆฏ Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.

The terrorist charges suggest they want to make an example of him: this is what we do to those who mess with the ownership class.
But by doing so, it only highlights how our society, including the justice system is grossly stratified, so the ownership class is protected bit not restrained, and the working class is restrained but not protected.
The public is already looking at Thompson as a single example of an elite deviant (white collar criminal) who has a high body count, and yet isn't even regarded as a criminal, much less is being investigated for all the death he is responsible for.
And he is one instance representing a single company in a single industry that goes without regulation. Then there's cars, guns, opioid addiction, PFOA in the water supply, war profiteers and so on.
(This is why it's weird that Lucifer in his eponymous show is content with helping an LA police officer hunt down petty serial killers instead of the Brian Thompsons of the world. He, of anyone should know where the true evil is โ But the writers either do not, or are not allowed to acknowledge elite deviance.)
