    An unmistakable comment on the insane cash-grab going on thanks to Banksy making street art available for the rich to put over their fireplaces.

  • Bias

    yes because artists shouldn’t be able to make a living off of their work

  • x_the_x

    My reply would be “Earn it”.

  • rek

    That’s exactly what I meant, Bias. Making a living and feeling entitled to insta-fame-and-fortune are synonyms according to Oxford.
    Now, do I eye-roll or face-palm…

    Something’s worth has an entirely subjective value often decided by the majority or the free market. It’s my view (and I’m being entirely vindictive here) that anyone who defaces your property has earnt all the goodwill in the world from the rest of the world and it’s unfortunate that they aren’t getting it but I guess I don’t get to decide for them. You are infringing on discourse and conversation by posting these attacking comments, similarly in the way these houses posted on EVERYONE’s land are obscuring nature the way I would like to view it, which oddly mirrors the way the graffiti I appreciate obscures the matte painted bricks of these houses the way you would like to view them.(I presume that’s the case anyway since you’re arguing so fervently in favour of letting them stay that way)
