A series of street posters, called the impudently "artistic exhibition", appeared close the centre of Wrocław a fewer days ago, the content of which, without going into detail, was clearly calculated to arouse excitement in individuals from NAMBLA. As the municipal authorities, who had the nerve to co-finance the humpa, did not respond to the many voices of outrage from the locals, the second took matters into their own hands and painted the full image.
And unless it is worth paying more attention to this history, so as not to accidentally bring satisfaction to those liable for akin provocations, it should be treated as a textbook illustration of how the rule of non-aggression (the foundation of freedom philosophy) can clearly violate the phenomena tuning into the costume of "artistic freedom", while full consistent with the rule of non-aggression can be self-defenced physical elimination of these phenomena.
Well, posters appearing in the public space presenting unambiguously "namblow" content – additionally exaggerated with the usage of pseudo-artistic grotesque – are an effort to normalize the most measured form of aggression which can be imagined, becoming the carrier of aggression. It follows from this that their physical removal – even against the “law of creation” – is not any vandalism, but an apparent defence against aggression directed especially against the most vulnerable.
So thank God that the returnees proved to be equipped in this context with completely common sense intuitions, not allowing orwellian misconversion of concepts specified as “artistic freedom” or “moral censorship”. It remains to be hoped that akin intuitions – and even better their logically refined argumentative counterparts – are besides close to full conscious supporters and promoters of the doctrine of freedom. The anticipation of referring to it by self-proclaimed defenders of the “freeness of word” trying in any way to justify the above and akin provocations would origin large harm.
