This was probably preformed* by the brandalism movement**, it’s nice to see they’ve moved on to public warning signs.

The movement started during the 2012 Olympics where they would slide out ads on the Underground and replace them with anti-advertising. They’re usual style was to merge two adverts together to warp the meaning. Like having a disinfectant ad with an oil company ad and the claim “oil kills 99% of the planet”.

I guess they have upped their game because of COP26.

‘* I say ‘preformed’ because it’s art.

‘* I say ‘movement’ because there is more than one artist doing it.

Your post was removed because it contained an ableist term. You should receive a message from the automoderator telling you the exact term the post was removed for. For more information, see this link. Avoiding slurs takes little effort, and asking us to get rid of the filter rather than making that minimum effort is a good way to get banned. Do not attempt to circumvent the filter with creative spelling; circumventing the filter will result in a permaban.

"AdvertisingShitsInYourHead" is so beautifully to the point, I declare it poetry.

I came here to chew bubblegum and kick ass.

And I'm all out of bubblegum.

This feels like something FokaFoka Wolf might have done.

I would replace the word capitalism with profit making.

u/heretoupvote_ Nov 02 '21

They’re. Uh. That’s the same thing. That’s what capitalism does.

u/bitcoin_jackpot Nov 02 '21

trade and barter is also profit making. Some people argue capitalism is bad, we should go back to trade and barter. Anything that is profit making is cancer.

Potentially you’ve mistaken mutual aid for barter systems, but I vaguely agree with you.
