I made the following post yesterday in another thread:
I was very surprised that this comment got so many likes.
I live in Camporalandia, so for years I've been accustomed to tearing down political signs everywhere I see them. (The only Cámpora signs I leave alone are the ones for communal food purchases or similar activities that may significantly benefit the poor, which account for about 2% of the total signs.) Of course I also pull down anything, big or small, beginning with K or containing the letters FPV, or showing faces of current or recently deceased presidents or their offspring. For the first couple years, it seemed that I was the only one doing it, but it's now very trendy in my area, as well as other areas of the city.
With all the very many times I've done this, I've only had one angry person say something to me. He tried to tell me that the sign wasn't mine so I had no right to take it down. It didn't matter to him that it was in my neighborhood, not his, nor that it was covering someone else's sign (which in turn was covering someone else's, which covered another, which covered another). I asked him very loudly if it were his sign, and he quickly slunk away.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else here takes down these signs. Considering that most of them are defacing public and private property, and that the FPV and La Cámpora are the worst offenders at covering the signs of others (including paid private advertising), I consider it at a minimum to be a public service, removing this malicious litter, and I also consider it a patriotic service to the majority who have clearly shown their agotamiento with el Kirchnerismo.
(By the way, when Argentina finally is reincorporated into the rest of the world, they should really consider for export the glue that they make here. Have you ever tried to scrape off some of these political signs? For some, it's virtually impossible.)
