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.
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
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.
One of the better John Carpenter films.
The best Rowdy Roddy Piper film.
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.
using it as one side of my protest poster
FAB!
Ribbit!
That’s a paradox.
Only if your thinking generally and are not aware of the fascist invasion of the USA
Technically correct is the best kind of correct.
Obey the poster that says “don’t obey.”
Thank goodness most people can think beyond the logical loop.
lmao I was expecting the normal one with "don't" added to it. This is significantly better. 🤣
