All over the city where I'm living I've noticed tons of graffiti. It's the usual college activist sort of thing. I find myself with a lot of time on my hands and an urge to be petty so I want to start my own response. I was just covering up the stickers and slogans with spray paint as I walked by but it didn't feel as good. I want to start ruffling some feathers. I saw a 4chan thread where a guy was covering communist propaganda posters with cobson faces and gorilla glue. I would like to do something similar so let me lay out my plan and see what you think.
I want to get a few images like cobsons, soyjaks, 1984 memes, or random images or whatever might be funny. I figure I'd print them out and put some clear tape over them and cut them out and then just glue them onto the various stickers and stupidity placed around the city. I want it to be fairly easy to do and easy to deploy. I've found that some glues don't work well and gorilla glue needs time to dry. If I cover an image with tape that's too thick then it might pull up the edges if it's placed on a round surface like a light pole. I tried using mod podge or varnish but it curls the paper. I want to carry a small bag/pouch with the ready images and a small tube of glue to be able to deploy them quickly. Cheap stickers are easily removed so I want the decal to be difficult to remove or damage the sticker/graffiti that it's covering.
What kind of images would work best to respond to some of these graffiti/propaganda items? The most common ones I see are various LGBT slogans and flags, Antifa, communism, feminism, and climate panic. More simple images/black and white are preferred since I'm just printing on a basic printer and cutting them out. I know they'll be ripped down or covered so I don't want to put too much effort into the sticker itself. Would a different technique be more effective?
Is this petty and stupid? Yes. I just feel like being petty and stupid and I have time while I'm out walking and tired of seeing this stuff everywhere. If my city isn't doing anything about graffiti then I'm going to answer in my own way. In my own petty mind I believe that these slogans and propaganda should be answered and ridiculed or else it's a form of accepting it and agreeing with it. I don't imagine I'm doing a great service or anything noble. I'm just a dude that's willing to stoop to their level to try to troll them a bit. I didn't see anything similar posted, thanks for any help I can get.
