A photograph taken during Lebanon s October 2019 revolution shows a man sitting on a chair perched on a toppled rubbish bin in the middle of the street. The Lebanese flag is tossed over his shoulder like a cape. A satellite dish is balanced upright by his side like a shield, slogans of protest scrawled across it.

are simply standing by fiery dustbins
