Cultural expression, righting a long-standing wrong, doing God's work, a step up from standard vandalism, downright bloody-mindedness, sociopathic epidemic, wickedness, or what?
Regardless, what is the remedy for this kind of thing - can you suggest one, or is it up to authority to deal with it in the own ineffectual way. Why would it not get steadily worse, the contamination spread, perhaps exponentially, rather than dissipate over time of its own accord?

    Doesn't this kind of thing illustrate the fragility and vulnerability of society? It relies on the goodwill and willing participation of the people. If that fails, then so does society, and chaos ensues. That sad state of being may be just round the next corner. Things may well get a whole lot worse before they get better - if they ever do - a shadowy urban guerilla war that can never be won, but goes on forever, and it is back to the dark ages for humanity.

    From what I can see, nobody wants to acknowledge there is a problem. Probably, in accordance with long-standing practice assuming it will eventually just go away on its own.
    I think that, when the time comes, the long-promised few dozen portable nuclear devices detonated at culturally and militarily sensitive sites in the west will convince people the time has come to act - when it is much too late of course and huge swathes of the country, of maybe many countries, will have been rendered uninhabitable for many thousands of years.
    Yet again, humanity will have shown it is incapable of restraining its deadly propensities for self-destruction and for looking the other way.        This post was edited by TONEALONE at March 7, 2018 12:49 PM MST
