I kind of wish images like this could be plastered around grocery stores, in shopping carts or something. Some neutral place where literally everyone goes.
Anyone ever read Every Man Dies Alone by Hans Fallada? It's inspired by resistance efforts to the war in Nazi Germany; one small way of pushing back was writing postcards critical of Hitler.
I would have no problem with people doing guerrilla marketing with this kind of thing. I think sticking them over those shopping cart ads is a great idea. And it certainly wouldn’t be illegal to leave them in your shopping cart face up when you return it.
What is really like to see though is a crowdfunded grassroots campaign to put these on billboards. Maybe not this one per se - billboard design is its own thing - but basically just getting the agitprop out there where it can do some good.
That, and ai gen / bot farm these things and post them to twitter and facebook.
Why can't they be?
Well, I honestly don't know if they can. Considering it's private property, cameras everywhere, and could be considered littering.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
