The #WrongGenertion of #Tunisia are taking the protests to next levels: Theory and praxis & aesthetics confronting both the political and the social authority.
This slogan is a line from a rap song saying: "the police patrol entered my neighborhood".

A thread of slogans.
- تعلم عوم.. تعلم اجري..
Learn to swim.. Learn to run.

It's the name of 2 campaigns against police brutality. #ACAB drowned a football fan in a river and severely injured others who couldn't run from their batons.
- صور صور يا الفنية تو تخرالي فيه.
Photographe me, intelligence, you can kiss my ass.

It's about the intelligence police who stand next to journalists to take pictures of the protestors and call them to their and often jail them. Today, they used a drone.
- روّح نيك يا المشيشي والغنوشي معاك.
Fuck off, Mechichi (President of the govt) and take Ghanouchi (President of the parliament and leader of the islamist party).

Today's protest was in front of the parliament where Mechichi is taking approval for his "new" government.
- يا مشيشي يا طحان هانا جينا في النهار.
Mechichi, you ass-kisser, here we are in the daylight.

A response to the demonization of night protests.
As it is clear in these slogans, the use of "bad words" is being liberated from the moralistic social authority which is a precedent in the Tunisian militant scene.
Thank you #ManishMsamah for normalizing the word "طحان" (Tahhan) which was used against the people who gave information about the independence guerillas (Fallaga) to the #French colonizers.
