oh also? An absolutely freaky thing I'm seeing yt leftists do?

STOP TRYING TO TRACK DOWN PROTESTORS THAT DO 'BADASS STUFF'. STOP POSTING ABOUT IT ONLINE.

PEOPLE FUCKING DIE.

AND IT'S USUALLY SOMEONE MELANATED.

THE GOVERNMENT IS WATCHING YOU FUCKING DUMBASS.

y'all are so stuck on egoistic heroism that every time someone does something 'sick' at a protest you wanna turn them in to the next celebrity to have a parasocial relationship with and then they go missing.

Tf is wrong w y'all.

Let go of the idea that diy will inherently look shit. All your clothes are handmade you just don't see the people doing it.

Subvertising

You may be a graffiti writer or street artist that hides in the shadows and wants to take over some corporate high visibility ad spaces. You may be a member of the public who just wants to open corporate ad spaces in the city and remove the offending advertisements. Or you may be an activist that wants to raise awareness of your struggle by using the advertising space as a way of reaching the public. Whatever your reason, one thing is clear: a city with fewer ads, more public art and a mixture of stories and voices in public space is a healthier and more representative city.

Within this manual is a selection of the research and practices that have been created by artists in several countries around the world who have worked hard to learn about these spaces, find the keys, test the processes and develop easy, risk-free ways to take over these ad spaces. Essentially we have done the hard work so you don’t have to.

Thanks to globalisation, you can now spend around £12, and get access to over 100,000 ad spaces across the world. Over the last few years Brandalism, PublicAdCampaign, Special Patrol Group and other friends around the world have installed thousands of artworks in ad spaces in various countries.

Radical graffiti seen in Chicago

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.

"We risk becoming an island of strangers, not a nation that walks forwards together." - Keir Starmer, 12.05.2025

All people are strangers until you befriend them, regardless of where they were born. Shame on this government of bigotry.

Stuff like guerilla gardening, stickering, wheatpasting, lifting, graffiti, pothole-filling and other minor illegal acts aren’t only important for their primary effects, but because disobeying your capitalist programming helps break down the internalized worldview that comes with it

You start seeing society as it is: a collection of flawed, limited, man-made institutions that can be ignored, reshaped, or abolished. You see your environment as something that you’re free to improve and beautify. You see items on shelves as common property which is unjustly hoarded and guarded. You see cops as violent oppressors upholding the unfair demands of the ruling class - but you also see them as human, able to be avoided, fooled, and fought

Practice illegalism daily to see past the smoke and mirrors that make it look like the way things are is the way they must be. A better world is possible

❌ ladies and gentlemen: needlessly genders your audience, shows them basic respect, outdated.

✅ killers and renegades, liars and thieves: gender neutral, brings your audience down to your level, lets them know that you know their crimes.
