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.
