    I like this. The original Obey only makes sense if you know it’s supposed to be satire / criticism. I’m afraid lots of people (aside of 90% not caring) don’t get it, it’s just like Fight Club being a cult movie among toxic dudes not understanding that the movie is (failing at) criticising them.

      Stephen Miller apparently really misunderstood the film Casino (1995) and reportedly immatated and dressed like De Niro’s character throughout highschool.

          I think any kind of resistance through art is going to be better if it can tap into great art from the past and we see a continuity. It should help allow people to better able to see the continuity from past fascism.

    That’s impressive, they’re all properly stuck and difficult to remove. How’d they do that? Spray the wall and adhere the posters? Or were the posters already backed by glue, basically giant stickers?

      Use a roller or spray adhesive, apply to the wall, apply to the back of the posters, wait a few minutes for things to get tacky instead of wet, apply the posters. Top coat with adhesive.

          No sucsefull revolution has ever had the participation of “everyone”. Americans are slow to react but societal momentum is shifting as people wake up and get angrier and more frightened I belive this because I have to.

                To be clear, we are talking about the posters… that anger no one. In fact, they probably give a false sense of security or success. Today we are one step closer to fascism, which means each action so far has failed. I don’t mean we should stop, but I do mean we need to step it up a bit.

              Considering historically how angry Americans can get, if anything the take over will drive the anger to new heights and bring their plan screeching to a halt.

                  If there’s any silver lining to this authoritarian power grab, it’s that people are finally waking the fuck up and getting really mad. Not everyone, mind you. But hopefully many more than historically, and hopefully enough who will take action.
