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.
I think people forget protests are supposed to be annoying. How else would you get attention? Asking nicely isn’t helping.
These pro-acrylic protests are getting out of hand!
golf clap
I wonder if they would kill someone just to get attention at some point.
Maybe they’d let me beat the everliving shit out of them for their cause.
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 think the most important thing is to not bother a single soul while trying to take action about a serious global issue, just really stay out of everyone’s way if you want your point to stick in the minds of people. Its the only way to grab their attention.
I don’t give a fuck about bothering people. I give a fuck about the potential damage to pieces of human heritage. Take a sledgehammer, hit the streets, hell, hit the oil execs, I don’t give a fuck. But don’t damage artwork or artifacts that are generations old and widely recognized as important pieces of human culture.
Like, fuck, when anti-colonial activists knifed that painting of some British twat a few months back, I was totally fine with it. Because it was:
- A relevant British twat to colonization
- A painting that wasn’t even that fucking old
- A painting that was not widely recognized as a cultural treasure
I wonder if they got off, come to think of it.
I don’t give a fuck about bothering people. I give a fuck about the potential damage to pieces of human heritage.
Ok, then why are you complaining. There was zero potential damage from this act.
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.
Its the soup thats not for your family.
Whatever is on sale.
