Political Art Poster — Silent Consent

This political art poster by Erik Ziegler is part of the Nosebonk Visual Commentary series and reflects on how silence, fear and passive acceptance slowly normalize violence.

War feels distant. Something that happens far from us. But it is built closer than we want to admit, in what we accept, normalize and pass on without questioning.
Silence is not neutral. It shapes what comes next. Violence lives in everyday words, in how we speak and in how we treat others. The easiest path is always the same: insult, deny, divide.

Dialogue takes effort and time, two things we are slowly losing in a world driven by comfort and the attention economy. What we build at home, in the way we speak and listen to each other, will decide what comes next.

No war
