I used https://www.image-search.org/ , but I failed to find more. Maybe the name does not match the artist of the painting? Anyhow, I found this page of pictures of social commentary http://www.extracatchy.net/pictures-without-text-with-deep-meaning/
Haven't gone through them all yet.

It's not working very well at the moment. In fact, my own installation is waiting for updates :-( It would be my choice too!
I posted yandex, because, of course, the russians don't censor themselves ;-) but they have plenty of propaganda - just like eeuu.
https://metager.org/ us another I would have my searx do.
In all cases though of qwanta, ddg, startpage, metager, ecosia, swiss cows... they are all just front ends for bing and or google.
https://www.mojeek.com/about/ and yandex are their own I believe.
I think what we need (but very difficult) is a true distributed, federated, crawling search engine to along with all the other great alternatives to corporate usa dominance of the internet.

Still the insulin cost thread.
First off, 5 9's of pharmacists are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Yes, 99.999% of them! :-)
Anyhow, I go how much for a vial of insulin? "What kind?"
Umm... "Rapid acting?" Is that good for a type 1 diabetic? "Yes, $30. Is that full price without Pharmacare? "Yes." If I wasn't a really brittle diabetic, could I get through a month with that? "Yes."
So. In a random supermarket in canada near the alaskan panhandle, a vial of insulin is $30CAD.
What are you paying down there Art? In USD is fine. I'm really curious now.

@art
Holy mac! At the current exchange rate, she'd need to be 16 diabetics to use that much insulin in bc, canada. More even.
Sadly, I don't hold out any hope at all for a made in the USA NHS.
Back when Canada first got theirs there was a huge lobbying and disinformation effort from the medical corporations in the USA. Also, our doctors went on strike to keep their $$ monopoly.
Tommy Douglas went to the UK and signed up hundreds of UK doctors and brought some back. The doctors caved and it later became national.
Do you think the USA med-pharma capitalists have less or more power in the USA today?
Yeah.... sorry, but that's my pessimistic view.
