I’ll just go ahead and copy a previous comment I made for this one, because as always a lot of people don’t feel like reading the article.
"Painting was behind glass, the point is that in a climate change hellscape all this precious art is in danger. If all the people who read about a painting they’ve never heard of before get angry about “paint being thrown at it” they’ll really hate what’ll happen with extreme weather in a climate disaster. "
These activists have some weird ideas sometimes, but this isn’t really one of them. If you read the article they all acknowledge that what they did they aren’t somehow entitled to do, and that they will probably go to jail for it as well. The entire point as with all protest is to shove it in the face of all the people that ignore this issue on a daily basis.
Oil companies are doing the same thing to all precious art and nature and all the things you love, so where is the accountability for them?
TL;DR these people are annoying, and that’s the fucking point.
Throw Soup At The Oil Execs Instead
These pro-acrylic protests are getting out of hand!
How does one determine which kind of soup to use for this?
Heinz, apparently, is the most wholesome choice for these anti-oil protesters. I’m sure they’re a great company.
I wonder if they would kill someone just to get attention at some point.
A man literally self-immolated to try to bring attention to our lack of effort to confront climate change. It was barely covered and you don’t seem to even know it happened. But you’re here fantasizing about violence because they threw some soup on a painting’s protective glass, so it seems like that’s actually working.
and you don’t seem to even know it happened
When you pretend to be able to read my mind via the internet and then try to use that in order to justify your argument, I feel no compunction in immediately dismissing you— you’re clearly irrational and will do/say anything to further your agenda… just like these people who would destroy priceless works of art or light themselves aflame just for attention when alternatives are available and such methods have never been proven to be effective.
Don’t blame me for my valid criticisms. Just find better ways to achieve your goals.
Have fun being free Pinkertons for the Oil corps. Maybe you should direct your anger at them since they are the reason why these people are activists.
No no, you see, it’s for THEIR cause. The beatings would be happening to raise awareness of climate change, not to support oil companies. Isn’t that the logic, here? There’s no other relevance of attempted vandalism of a painting by a man who died before climate change was even fully understood. The cause is all-important; the act just a detail to catch eyes, apparently.
I’m not interested in this stupid cause. It’s not worth destroying a priceless piece of art just to draw attention to it.
