Why do the mass killers of the fossil fuel industry walk free while the heroes trying to stop them are imprisoned? asks Guardian columnist George Monbiot
I don’t really support defacing art either, but at the same time, it’s not like the art is gonna matter if the planet burns, is it? The only people who’ll still be around to enjoy it are rich people, and they’ll probably just ditch it the moment they realize it doesn’t have a monetary value anymore due to societal collapse.
So what’s the point? Throw soup at art (in Minecraft). Throw grenades at yachts (in Minecraft). None of this will matter soon (in the real world).
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.

I mean… You could use this same argument to justify literally anything. After all, it’s not gonna matter once the planet burns.
