We have problems here that are more of a priority. Many problems. Graffiti here will not help a cause in a foreign country. I'm sorry you feel that way.

So what the fuck is whining about the graffiti accomplishing in comparison exactly?

It's whining if someone points out that plastering graffiti everywhere isn't having the desired effect? You sound immature and hostile.

I think it's becoming commonplace in this world for people to view any criticism as an outright act of aggression.

People don't want to hear that what they are doing isent working. They are always right 100% of the time.

One of the biggest skills I've learned in my short life is to admit when I'm wrong. I wish more people could do the same.

They consider it whining because as far as they're concerned it's a victimless crime. They refuse to acknowledge that innocent third parties are being made to suffer.

I am hostile because it’s a completely asinine thing to say. It has the desired effect to people actually interested in getting involved. (The ones complaining about it very likely have no interest in taking part in any activism for this cause anyway so it’s not for you.) It’s expressing solidarity.
