Thinking about the semiotics of street stickers. A weathered sticker on a telephone pole indicates that you can put up a sticker and it will remain undisturbed long enough to gain some weathering. A hand-drawn sticker reminds you that you don't need a factory to make stickers. A sticker made from a mailing label suggests that mailing labels are easy to acquire. (They are in fact free at US post offices.) All of this completely independent of the message of the sticker itself.
This is why I tend to be lenient toward even some of the more libbed-out stickers in my city, because regardless of their deficiencies in radicalism they still send the message that you can be disobedient
I still destroyed all the ones comparing Trump to Monica Lewinsky from a few months back though. Those ones are actively harmful enough that their existence is unjustified. Leave Monica alone.
@aisling sideways reminded me that there's an infowars sticker near here that i should do something about
@blaurascon oh damn i didn't know infowars was still a thing
@aisling that sticker's been there for like ten years tbh. it's on a sign that's kind of out of the way of the main road but i pass it sometimes. i am somewhat surprised penndot hasn't taken it off yet since it's on the face of the sign
