"In a neighborhood where the walls are covered with anarchist posters, beautiful radical graffiti stands alongside all the usual tags, advertisements never stay up for long, the windows of luxury cars, banks, and gentrifying apartments or restaurants are never safe, and people hang out drinking and talking on the street corners and in the parks, our ideas will be seriously discussed outside our own narrow circles, and the state would need a major counterinsurgency operation to have just the hope of uprooting us."

'Whenever we can break their little laws with impunity, we show that the State is weak. When advertising is defaced and public space is liberated, we show that capitalism is not absolute."

Hey, my community garden made the news!

kitchener.citynews.ca/2023/08/

...not for good reasons though. Wish this would stop happening every year. Glad we're finally getting some coverage of it though; you'd think after the arson last year there would've been at least some attention.

I wish I could find the report the VdM prepared on the issue of the statue. I looked for it around Christmas last year, but without success.

It is outrageous that the City of Montreal is not restoring the statue of Sir John A. Macdonald. If there had been a petition, a study, a legitimate process *prior* to removing the statue, that would be one thing. But in this case a mob has imposed its will, and then the City has acquiesced to the act of vandalism.

I have a handcuff key in my pocket, these days. Most of the locks and bridges in the northwest are locked with "handcuffs". They prevent vandals from opening both sides of a lock to let the water flow endlessly through and thus drain the canal.

Similarly, people get a thrill out of opening a bridge and then leaving it open, which blocks all land traffic (cars, bikes, pedestrians).

More Pride flags celebrating local Pride week vandalised in Finland. Video featuring burning flags and a bible quote circling in social media.

I’ve lost count how many there’s been this year, (maybe 4?) but I remember quite vividly the one where a far right nazi planning several terrorist attacks, manufacturing 3D printed weapons etc, turned out to be the same person who vandalised pride flags on video in Oulu some time ago.

It's always tricky to navigate whether 'vandalising' art is an creative or destructive act without bringing politics into the debate. Controversy rages in London's street art community over a Brick Lane graffiti project for violating unwritten rules among street artists.

Propaganda, Vandalism, or Art?:

Rage, Riots & State-Led Retribution: Reconstructing Haryana’s Week Of Violence

After six people in a religious procession—infiltrated by Hindu extremists wielding swords and firing guns—were killed in an attack by Muslims, four Muslims died in retaliation. As rioting reached Delhi’s doorstep, hundreds of Muslims fled or stayed away from work. Then, the State stepped in, detaining nearly 150 Muslims, including minors, and demolishing Muslim properties. Article14 visited a terrorised village emptied of Muslim men, while Islamophobic rallies continued unhindered, and the cow vigilantes who incited the armed mob stayed free, one facing charges of killing Muslims.
