Few street artists have captured the world’s imagination like Banksy. His signature stencil art and razor-sharp social commentary turn urban walls into powerful statements.
I have a small Etsy store that I'm doing nothing to promote because it's just for my own fun & the only thing I've sold is a sticker much like this one. About two dozen of them, in fact. 👍
Basically these stickers especially are saying either a) I (and maybe the whole culture I stem from) am easily blinded by Grandeur, making me easy prey for narcissists or b) I bought this car before I discovered the Internet.
I can think at least to another dangerous minority: fascists. And, no, they're not all rich, not at all. And I can think of people writing catchy, misleading, wrong stickers just because it makes them feel smart and witty.

A small bat a few years ago chose the entrance of The Next Page bookshop in Calgary as its resting spot. The bookstore put up a sign: 'Please open the door carefully as there is a bat sleeping on it.
We had a bat sleeping in the cellar (also community room) of our church once! The kids wrote a similar notice, "please be careful and don't wake the bat that's sleeping in the room off the kitchen".
The services Google is providing to Israel are actually used to process and analyze intelligence. Believe it or not, they REDUCE the number of civilian casualties in most cases… Not that I'm a big fan of Google or anything.
Also, it is a well-known fact that Hamas regularly employs children as fighters. This kid could have been blown up for legitimate purposes, but we'll never know because no context was provided.
Furthermore: Contrary to popular belief, Israel is NOT committing genocide. It IS undeniable that the Palestinians are in a truly horrific situation, but it really isn't Israel's fault. They invaded Gaza to deal with an existential threat, and they will leave the second they are done.

"Google is among the corporations culpable for the theft of these childhoods. Since 2022, it has had a $1.2 billion contract with Israel, supporting the military’s oppression and killing of Palestinians. Recent documents also revealed that Google rushed to provide Israel with its latest AI technology at the start of the genocide because it didn’t want to miss out on a contract to Amazon."
@bossito @rayglittersoft In the country where you live, do the police bomb a neighbourhood to rubble when a murder has been committed there? And shoot all the children, because they might be related to the murderer?

Welcome to the Year of the Snake: TVBOY’s Satirical Take on Power
Street artist TVBOY is back with another striking political mural, this time taking aim at Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
The artwork, titled Welcome to the Year of the Snake, is a satirical nod to Disney’s Robin Hood, with a clear message about power, manipulation, and ego.
A Familiar Villain: Trump as Prince John
The mural reimagines Trump as Prince John, the cowardly and petulant lion from the classic Disney film. Dressed in his signature red and white royal robe and golden crown, he sits in a sulking pose, sucking his thumb—a clear jab at his childish and narcissistic tendencies. In Robin Hood, Prince John is known for his greed, incompetence, and obsession with power, making him an apt comparison for the former U.S. president.
Elon Musk as Sir Hiss: The Scheming Snake
Beside Trump, a green snake with Elon Musk’s face slithers into the scene. Dressed in a black cloak like an executioner, the snake channels Sir Hiss, Prince John’s manipulative advisor in Robin Hood. In the film, Sir Hiss whispers suggestions into Prince John’s ear, fueling his delusions of grandeur—much like the influence some believe Musk has over modern discourse and digital power structures.
Street Art with a Bite
The bold, dripping green text above the figures reads: “WELCOME TO THE YEAR OF THE SNAKE!” This could be a reference to the Chinese zodiac, where the snake symbolizes intelligence, cunning, and sometimes deception. Or it could be TVBOY’s way of warning us about the figures who dominate headlines and wield influence in unpredictable ways.
TVBOY’s Legacy of Political Street Art
TVBOY is known for his pop-infused, politically charged street art, often merging satire with classic cultural references. His work has taken aim at world leaders, tech moguls, and societal issues, making him one of the most recognizable contemporary street artists today. This latest mural is yet another example of how he uses humor and nostalgia to critique modern figures of power.
Stop Hate – A portrait of an elderly woman holding a stop sign with “HATE” added, shared by TVBOY on Holocaust Remembrance Day after visiting Auschwitz.
Freedom – A piece featuring journalist Cecilia Sala breaking free from chains, symbolizing the fight for press freedom.
Global Warning – A reinterpretation of climate issues, showing children playing with buckets of glowing red, referencing global warming’s dangers.
Trash Hate – A striking image of a child throwing symbols of hate into a non-recyclable waste bin, promoting a message of rejecting extremism.
Help – A moving artwork depicting a child holding a sign that reads “HELP,” with letters colored in reference to the Palestinian flag, highlighting humanitarian crises.
Hope – A tribute to Ukraine, depicting a girl painting the word “HOPE” with the “O” replaced by a peace sign, in front of a blue and yellow backdrop representing the Ukrainian flag.
What do you think of street art by TVBOY? Do you want us to do more blog posts with new art by him?
not landlords, they only enforce rules set by others. real problem is owners setting unrealistic prices since they live in some remote location unaffected by the property (such as property in Arizona and owner in New York). in that case, they price would be determined by NY prices even though AZ prices are a fraction of NY prices. even worse, renters (in AZ) getting hold of the owner (in NY) would be impossible, even going through the government.

from the wiki you linked to: "according to which each individual has the right to live as they choose, so long as it does not involve violating the rights of others by initiating force or fraud against them" - Only that they support the right to exclude people from land they "own" but not use, exclude people from food they have in mass when people are in need. Libertarians love negative freedom: ME ME ME.
Sure - anarchism (bottom left) is a libertarian ideology. That's why you sometimes see people refer to themselves as "left-libertarian" (anarchist) or "right-libertarian" (neoliberals et. al)
@troed Everyone interested in society know this diagram and have seen it thousands of times. 😀 But do you understand the differens between negativ and positive freedom? Example: The right to roam vs the right to own? When you understand that you understand that the libertarian ideology have more in common with the right then the anarchists and that a libertarian commune will hurt people.
I made a comment about this exact photo commenting on the placement of the German flag on Musk's face. Honestly hilarious how this was allowed to be published.
@danso "but this isn’t a photo of it" Why do you say that? All you need to do is search for photos like this and you find a lot. Like this. Next time you think I post a AI photo plz take some time before you make a comment, I sometime fail. BUT I post tons of photos that look like it is made of AI but is real. Amazing artists you know.

Neat! I wrote an analogue very similar to that a few years back. "if you gather enough small fish even they can eat a whale". Guessing you were inspired by the stonk incident, too?
What does that have to do with little fish day traders collectively knocking down the major short selling powers of wallstreet down a few pegs...and hundreds of millions of dollars?

Everyone can probably understand that it's not the car owner's fault that Musk is a pig. Here's an insurance policy. It's like regular insurance, sometimes it applies, sometimes it doesn't.
Musk's labor practices were infamous from the start of the first Tesla factory in Fremont. I lived a few blocks from their first showroom in Palo Alto. I had already decided in 2000 that my next car would be an #EV, but Tesla was an absolute no-go from the get-go.
Besides, we already knew about his dealings with X.com, which then became PayPal - another company I abandoned very early on.
Of course, we also knew about how awful Trump was way back in the 80's.
Musk openly supported Obama in 2008 and 12, Clinton in 2016 and Biden in 2020. I bought my Model 3 in 2020. So if someone sprayed my car like that, the only one that sufferes would be me, a vivid supporter of Antifa. Sometimes it's better to think before acting.

Why Led By Donkeys Targeted Elon Musk with ‘Heil Tesla’ in Berlin
A provocative projection on Tesla’s Berlin Gigafactory depicted Elon Musk performing a Nazi-style salute, accompanied by the text “HEIL TESLA” in Tesla’s iconic font. This striking act was orchestrated by the British activist art collective Led By Donkeys, known for their sharp political art.
The projection targeted Musk’s controversial gesture during Donald Trump’s inauguration, which has been widely criticized for evoking fascist imagery. By placing this statement in Germany—a country with strict anti-Nazi laws and a profound historical context—Led By Donkeys amplified the gravity of their message, challenging the unchecked influence of billionaires and the normalization of extremist symbols.
Led By Donkeys has a history of using public spaces to hold powerful figures accountable, and this projection is no exception. It underscores the role of activist art in sparking critical conversations about leadership, ethics, and the societal impact of those in positions of great influence.
@alda Yes! But the name of the factory is "Tesla Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg" on google maps.
Wiki: Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg is a manufacturing plant for Tesla, Inc. in the municipality of Grünheide in the Brandenburg state of Germany. The campus is located 35 kilometres southeast of central Berlin and some 8 kilometres southeast of the Berlin state boundary at Erkner and Rahnsdorf.

Thanks. Boosted. It’s as if Henry Ford and William Randolph Hearst combined to reincarnate as one doubly reprehensible person.
In the spirit of conversation, two notes:
1. Odd that Led by Donkeys is inactive on the Fediverse and instead remains on the Nazi social medium.
2. It would help me place events in time if people would refer to Twitter as Twitter when speaking about tweets pre-Elon and call it X for posts in its Nazi era.
How can it be that the account sharing this is still on X? The mirror here is a mystery too - it will disappear as well, I’d think. The Patreon account may not survive either. Hmmm. Glad I saw/read the entire projection there - it wasn’t just the salute image projected.
it should be clear by now that it is not just Elon musk who is tweeting from the elon musk account. He most likely has an entire team working for him just with tweeting to push a world wide fascist agenda and to get attention all over the internet
This picture is going viral. From what I can tell it's a mix of street art by My Stencil and a pasted image. The kid with the globe is street art from Lyon, France and the other one is some Nazi.
The ALT transcribed text is wrong. On the wall it's not written "Demain j'ai sans jardin"... but "Demain je serai grand"... meaning tomorrow I'll be a grown-up.
#Alt4You A Tesla facility with a projection on its façade of an image of Elon Musk performing the now infamous sieg heil salute from the Trump inauguration as well as the word "Heil" added in the same brand lettering forming the message "Heil Tesla".
Unfortunately... #musk is an attention seeker, who displays chronic attention-seeking behaviour... and we are giving him exactly what he wants. This will not end well.
Back in the day in #ireland he would have been dismissed and ignored as "just a great big notice-box" and/or "the world's richest eejit". The great #irish tradition of 'begrudgery', that is begrudging others' wealth and success (just ask Bono) might have helped to put him in his place.
However, now we have it. It is what it is.
And we can't just ignore #fascism. It *must* be confronted and stopped.

@kopo It doesn't matter, if the projections are physically real or not. (And why should we care, if they don't care for what's real or not, anyways?) It is the symbol and its message that matters. It is still a form of legitimate protest. @streetartutopia

Well, the video is definitely a real art project. But it still doesn't look like they necessarily actually projected videos and screenshots onto the factory walls. It could be easily edited by having a frame over a still image or video of the factory wall. The narration is also a post production addition. But again, it doesn't matter. The message was delivered one way or another. @kopo
@levampyre préciser que ce n'est pas une projection serait plus correcte et est important dans le monde IA où nous vivons. Cela n'enleverait rien au message. D'ailleurs, en Allemagne, les symboles nazis sont passable de la loi, même en tant que protestation. Sorry, my English is too basic
@kopo In the German report, there is testimony against testimony and there is a picture of the activists as evidence. Both groups of artists are known for playing with such things, it's about spreading the word about the art project quickly. The factory is too remote for anyone to see it anyway.
Dans l'article allemand, c'est parole contre parole et il y a une photo des activistes comme preuve. Les deux groupes d'artistes sont connus pour jouer avec ce genre de

@artemesia Newsweek only cites political beauty as a source, while Tagesspiegel seems to have reached out to Tesla's local security. Also in my opinion the projection looks "too good to be real"
@friparvus It does look a bit too perfect, especially the outstretched hand on the dark corner of the building. But still brilliant, whether real or fake. If fake, they didn't risk their projector getting confiscated.

Satirical Street Art: Elon Musk and Donald Trump Under the Public Eye
Street art is one of the most powerful ways people can express their opinions about the world, and these two pieces are no exception.
They don’t just decorate the streets; they shout messages that demand to be heard.
The first piece says, “Keep Europe Elon-Free,” with a stencil drawing of Elon Musk’s face crossed out. Painted on an old, rough wall, it doesn’t hold back.
It’s a clear rejection of Musk’s growing influence and recent controversial actions in Europe. Musk’s public endorsement of Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and his livestream with its leader, Alice Weidel, aren’t just bold—they’re part of a bigger play to push political conversations to the right.
It shifts focus to immigration while conveniently ignoring issues like taxing the ultra-rich.
This artwork cuts straight to the point: why do so many idolize someone who seems more invested in his own power than in the well-being of others? It’s a wake-up call to stop glorifying wealth and start questioning its impact.
In Lyon, France.
The second piece is no less biting. It shows Donald Trump in a suit, gazing upward at a small red heart floating just out of reach.
Across from him, a child holds a globe, seemingly teasing him or simply not caring about his presence. The message couldn’t be clearer: hope and responsibility for the planet belong to the next generation, not to leaders who put themselves first. Trump’s expression—detached and unaware—makes the contrast even starker. The graffiti and layers of other art around the mural only add to its raw, unapologetic vibe.
Street art like this isn’t just decoration; it’s resistance. Art has the power to question, challenge, and inspire.
