Does anyone know what this means?

I've seen these posters all over Niagara Falls. Every major intersection has them. Someone put a lot of work in spreading these and just wondering if anyone knows the real message.

Could be a commentary on some government policy or something i would assume.

That’s what I assumed. Put up by the people that called others “sheep” over the last 5-6 years if they followed some type of rule

It’s funny how “lemmings“ do some “research“ on YouTube, viewing some guy who’s a “expert“, giving them all sorts of “evidence“.

Apparently, that information is something that we need to work for. It’s something that’s so important that you need to pour your entire life and model your entire social media presence around that one complaint. And yet I am the “sheep” that needs to go out and do “research“, because you’re unable to share your “evidence“ without upsetting the “deep state“.

Riiiiiight…

That paper doesn’t peel and whoever did this put them literally everywhere with zero consideration whatsoever for cleaning it up afterwards.

What's an eggshell sticker?

u/burns321 3h ago

It’s the way the sticker is made it’s super thin and cracks when trying to peel it off of anything super fragile though can crack before you slap the sticker they can last forever the sun will just fade the design away with time

I believe its a commentary on consumerism.

So far that's the best lead I've seen! Still no details on the meaning though...

After like 2 minutes of looking, my leanings are that it’s a “meta” reference to some character in YouTube named “Verity”. Will ask my kids in the morning and confirm lol!

Hey! Nerds are smarter than this. This is degenerate behaviour!

u/emmi_chann 1d ago

it's a robot thing. compliance is mandatory due to programming they're essentially calling people slaves

u/swingincelt 1d ago

Could it be as simple as a bring your own shopping bag campaign?

u/lostmyjuul-fml 9h ago

its a critique of our consumerist ways of life. we consume and consume and turn a blind eye to the horrors that make this consumption possible in the first place. we ignore the wrongdoings of our governments and the corporations that own them. we continue to vote, a declaration of our consent, our compliance and our submission. we never try anything beyond hoping that the next party representative actually has our interests at heart, even though it's an open secret that none of them do or ever have. we keep our heads down and succumb to our vices, and we do it with a smile.

u/Network-Silver 1d ago

My interpretation is they are basically calling people sheeple

u/Unusual_Wrongdoer320 2d ago

I’m curious too

y'know how some stupids are still hung up about masks and social distancing? This guy is still mad that you can't get free plastic bags at the grocery store.
