    Put a cleaning robot in a public space, and count the number of hours until it’s been vandalized.

    Those kinds of people are a major contributor too.

        Exactly, people are resentful just because they are becoming worthless in the increasingly modern society.

        So you think teens spray painted the hell out of new York’s subways because they put someone out of work 80 years before that?

          I think the teens spray painting subways has more to do with marginalizing an entire class of people and a failure of public services, which were largely gutted at the bequest of a few billionaires who wanted to watch their number go up. Any dollar spent that doesn’t come back to them is a dollar they see as one they’ve lost. And the number must go ever up.

            Kid’s vandalism has been studied and that’s mostly wrong: propensity to vandalize is most strongly tied to parent-child relationships.

            Sure maybe billionaires taking all the resources makes parents less likely to be there for their kids, but the gap between parents who are there and deadbeats who let the wolves do the babysitting is not someone else’s fault.

            Upbringing cannot be thrown away just so you can blame billionaires for why nice things aren’t the norm

            I’ve got this big bag of random arguments. Whenever I’m cornered on one I pull another one out.

            Vandalism in general, and that can be generally further into people ruining nice things, these are examples
