Common misconception.

That’s just how he showed up on set.

You forgot to mention he’s the worst part of a couple of Adam Sandler movies.

A 12 piece bucket is $29.99 at my closest KFC. That’s 25 buckets he could have distributed to the needy, malnourished, disgustingly obese Trump supporters. What a selfish prick.

Just because they are immeasurably worse doesn’t mean what these people did is ok.

There are plenty of red states that have started to censor what kids can be taught in school and what books libraries can have, and when they don’t succeed they just shut the library down. It’s been all over the news for the last few years so I’m surprised you haven’t noticed.

That’s censorship of the worst kind. Free access to knowledge is the foundation of freedom. Without education, the populace becomes much easier to control by those that seek to do so through nefarious means.

You’re putting words in my mouth so I can’t really respond to the first part.

Some people value art, some don’t. It’s ok if you don’t, it’s not okay to destroy what other people value.

Of course it won’t matter if the planet burns. But as a great philospher once said, “until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.” Destroying art can’t be undone. Throwing hand grenades at yachts would be way better, assuming nobody gets hurt. I still don’t condone it (because somebody will get hurt), but nobody is going to give a shit if some asshole’s yacht goes to the bottom of the marina.

What defines “irreplaceable art”

A good place to start would be art made by a great artist that can’t make it anymore, usually because they are dead.

How much of the earth’s resources are we willing to dedicate to “culturally significant, irreplaceable things”

I don’t think the footprint of the world’s art museums would even show up on a chart when you consider waste or climate impact.

I’m not arguing to “prosecute oil as hard as these folks” because that’s not the discussion we’re having. That’s just what-about-ism. But since you asked, I think just about every C level in the oil industry should be in prison for the harm they have caused and the coverups they conspired to perpetrate while doing it. That’s not relevant to the discussion of ‘activists’ trying to destroy art to get headlines.

I agree with their message, I completely disagree with the method of delivery.
