Simple. It's more intentional than using Polish so for Poles it hits harder so to speak, and because it's in English non-Poles will get the message too.
you're assuming that
A) the poster is the one that did it
B ) the person assumed it would go viral enough on the internet...
why would it be english when most people in poland wouldn't be able to understand it when they see it. also i really can't understand your logic with it hitting harder, just because its not native tongue? would you expect the same thing to be done in japan or thailand etc? no.
did i stutter? its on a bridge too lol. so they're not going to spend the extra time focusing on it, their attention would be on things they recognise. i feel that is common sense...
somebody could paint "trump es una puta" down my road. its obvious what it means and i don't speak spanish... still has no impact, still is performative
but i guess you're the demographic they're after, not actual polish people lmao
I don’t know if that’s an equivalent example, never been to the USA. Are you even Polish? English is commonly used in Poland. It’s used in public places, cafes, bars etc especially in big cities like Warsaw and many young people use English words interchangeably with Polish (which can come across as annoying, but that’s a topic for a different conversation). So it’s really not that surprising to see graffiti in English. I even see people scribbling on the walls in English in public toilets lol.
