If you often find yourself in the middle of a flaming desire to rage against the machine and respect for authority, don't worry. There's nothing wrong with you. Duality is an integral part of human nature. There are more hooligans like you. And they meet on the subreddit r/MildlyVandalised to share their public opinion.
The online community calls itself a place to share street art pictures and videos (or whatever) of mild vandalism that is either funny, mindful or thought-provoking (or whatever). Such a beautiful description, isn't it? Plain and simple, not at all prolix.
From rewriting Wikipedia pages to "modifying" public signs and other unique artworks, continue scrolling and check out what this nexus between conformity and rebellion has to offer!

Wholesomely Vandalized
"Vandalism to me is basically anger,” Dr. Jeffery Chase, a licensed clinical psychologist and psychology professor at Radford University in Radford, Va., said. "It can be displacement — displacement in the technical sense is that [vandals] wish to do something against a more threatening object or individual, so they vent their anger on something safer."
I Don’t Want To Get Political But I Saw This And Either Way, It’s Funny
Most of us petty that. Mild vandalism, on the other hand, clearly isn't fueled by anger. I would say the main force that drives it is creativity. And even if some of these acts are directed against someone, they aren't executed with the intention to ridicule or hurt the addressee. Rather, to tease them. The fact that mild vandalism is innocent, I think, is the appeal of it. It's what draws those hundreds of thousands of people to join the Reddit community. Mild vandalism is connecting people instead of dividing them, and it's awesome.
Oink Oink
One of the moderators of the subreddit, DoxBox, also shares this opinion. "Mild vandalism is vandalism that is humorous but not overly damaging," they told Bored Panda. "Regular vandalism is costly to fix and malicious in intent. The sub is about mostly-harmless but humorous vandalism intended to make people laugh."
His colleague, fellow moderator awesomesprime, pointed out that important urgent matters get represented in the subreddit, too. Like, the presidential election. "Recently, political posts have been at the top, but [they still] have to be funny and clever. Those seem to be the ones that make it the highest," they said.
A Realtor You Can Depend On
"Posts do well the funnier they are, with the caveat that Reddit's usual issues do sometimes interfere. Posting the same post at different times can have different results," DoxBox added, explaining the main differences on why some pics go viral and some don't.

Ooh ~ this one is timely for me. My guy, with a pretty healthy lifestyle, was told he has very high cholesterol by his dr. Apparently 75% of cholesterol numbers are genetics. If I didn't bug his A** to get a flu shot & a check up...who knows?

Sorry What
This Political Sign
Jeff thinks he's important. Jeff has no sense of humour. Don't be Jeff.
It took me a while to see the part about “strong odor”. I’m cackling.
Let me guess--has to be in the South or Midwest like Alabama. Nebraska, Missouri. No humor whatsoever

Exactly! Such a Republican argument. "I don't like it so it's not allowed."

He’s really missing out on the “fart joke” vote. There’s huge % of the toilet humor population he could have earned the respect of by changing his name to Fartenberry for a day and posting a simple photo giving thumbs up with crossed eyes. Amazing PR is not that hard Fartenberries.
So uptight, probably has farts coming out of the ears!

Jeff Fartenberry had no sense of humor. Stop being a grump. I think that is what he should permanantly be called.
"Political vandalism, including the vandalism we see right here in London, is the epitome of good citizenry and free expression in our public. It is funny. It is always acceptable."
Jeff: to whomever placing googly eye all over the office, this has gone too far!
GOOGLY EYES AGAIN--I've had nightmares of tornadoes with googly eyes chasing me.
Since when is stupid vandalism the same as violence? I don't think I'd vote for Jeff. Also the eyes are the best.
I know where this is at I live in Lincoln Nebraska Ahahahaha
I beg to differ. I nearly peed my pants laughing so hard. Thank you relatively harmless vandal.
Oh no, he is a republican. Look him up. It showed from the self righteousness and celebratory stance of 'poor me, I am a victim of terrible vandals'.

Another one of my favourite acts of vandalism is the Statue of the Duke of Wellington in Glasgow, Scotland. For years the locals kept putting a traffic cone (or two) on the old Duke's head and the council would come along and take it off again. This went on for years until the council just gave up and just let the locals keep doing it and they did nothing about it. It has since become more of a tourist attraction because of his new and constantly changing headgear. Even The Duke's horse gets his own "hat". Wellington...23-png.jpg

I was driving through Montana on a road trip when I saw some graffiti that said something along the lines of "Obama was okay" and someone else had spray painted "Notably" underneath it. I honestly lost it, to this day it still makes me smile
My personal favourite is the Ghost of the Ahr Valley.
Spotted in Altenahr, Germany. IMG_11473-...ca8255.jpg 
I remember another one where someone kept writing on an old unpainted wall 'PAINT ME' over and over and then one day the wall was painted brown and the person wrote 'I DON'T LIKE THIS COLOR' :)))))))))
Had to giggle wondering how young the little bandits were; wall graffiti across from my mechanic said “wiener” and “poop”. 😂
I just remembered, in Boston, there’s a “no turn on Fred” sign. Idk if it’s been changed back yet.
