Scrubbing away Banksy's artwork has only made its message more powerful
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Oppressors are control freaks and imagine they can completely control the reaction to every action. But there is always an undercurrent of change. It may not be visible, but that doesn't mean change isn't happening, that resistance isn't growing. And eventually, given enough pressure, it will erupt like a volcano. Vive la revolution.
But it is a process that usually takes several lifetimes (even centuries if the establishment is adaptable) to erupt. Don’t expect to be so lucky that it happens exactly in your lifetime.
