using it as one side of my protest poster
I am so glad that we made frogs cool again after pepe was stolen and the groyper frog fuckery.
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.
FAB!
Ribbit!
Parody of this:

And that’s Andre the Giant, interestingly enough.
Which is in turn a reference to the film, They Live

Here’s more info about the Andre poster
One of the better John Carpenter films.
The best Rowdy Roddy Piper film.
Fascinating provenance. Thanks for sharing
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?
I can’t be certain, but this is probably done with wheatpasting. It can be done at volume and quite quickly.
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.
Who is the frog?
this is so awesome, thanks for linking!
Are people disobeying?
We’re resisting.
Resisting what though? Fascism? Ehhhh… every time fascism takes a step forward, everyone fails to resist—regardless of how much resistance they claim to be doing.
I could literally link several instances of people resisting and these dumbass thugs end up packing up and leaving but for some reason I don’t think it would matter.
Packing up and just moving down the street. They need to leave fascism not leave the area
I think you’re just being ignorant to history. People did stand up to the Nazis and ultimately they were defeated.
They were not defeated by posters.
Propaganda existed back then too, and it can be an extremely powerful tool
Seriously go read up on 1930s German history you’d be surprised how much it’s been mirrored here
I see the reflection, just not that protesting was at all what ended it.
Imma disagree on this point. Propaganda is deffo an important part of war.
If this was put up in a Trump loving area, I’d agree… but this is in Portland. Everyone just wants a selfie with it.
I guess you don’t know what propaganda is.
Oh OK so you’re just a contrarian. Cool, you got people to engage. Was the dopamine hit worth it
This may come as a shock, but there is technology now to convey pictures and in some cases even moving pictures to faraway lands.
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.
Unfortunately, their plan is to take over before enough people get angry enough to do anything about it.
And that’s why acts like the one we’re discussing – intended to get people angrier faster – are so important.
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.
I see this comment has 2 points… I hope anyone reading this understands that what this person is saying is complete and utter horseshit.
Read some history yourself, don’t listen to this clown.
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.
Tell me how much Americans have been upset with America within the last 100 years? What have they done to the government? some harsh language and the occasional nut job bomber?
We are historically pussy-ass-bitches on our own turf.
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.
I wish you weren’t right. :(

lmao I was expecting the normal one with “don’t” added to it. This is significantly better. 🤣
That’s a paradox.
Obey the poster that says “don’t obey.”
Thank goodness most people can think beyond the logical loop.
Only if your thinking generally and are not aware of the fascist invasion of the USA
Technically correct is the best kind of correct.
