One day more than ten years ago, I happened to overhear two librarians talking about a freight train passing nearby with multiple cars defaced with spray paint. Some of what they called the “artwork” was attractive, one of them said to the other. Some of it had artistic merit, she said to the other, who did not voice any disagreement. Neither one of them said anything about the rights of people who own private property like railroad cars, or about vandalism to such property, or about “The Law’s” remarkable ineptitude in defending those rights and punishing those who vandalize that property.
Countless photographs of freight trains from the 1920s through the 1950s do not show any such vandalism to freight cars. If at age ten I had attempted to use my crayons to draw a picture on the side of a railroad car, my elders would not have lost any time in instructing me — properly — that I could not do such a thing because I had no right to touch other people’s property. The absence of such vandalism to railroad cars in those years proves that most parents and public officials had a firm understanding of property rights and the moral determination to uphold them.
That “The Law” today does nothing to punish those who deface other people’s property, that there is no accountability whatever for such negligence or ineptitude, and that members of the intelligentsia like public librarians do not condemn such vandalism but choose instead to sanction it by calling it “art” are but three proofs among many of the profound moral-philosophical degeneracy of contemporary “cool” culture.
Can there be any doubt that such vandals (including many white anarchists) are encouraged if not hired and financed outright by an Occupation Government as part of its not-by-chance engineering of planned chaos?
And it is of course just a coincidence that the destruction and eventual prohibition of private property is one of the planks in the Communist Manifesto, and that the deliberate vandalism of such property in plain sight everyday is calculated to weaken the very concept of private property and the expectation that an accountable government must defend it and the rights of those who own it.
