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.

Throw Soup At The Oil Execs Instead

How does one determine which kind of soup to use for this?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Whatever is on sale.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Heinz, apparently, is the most wholesome choice for these anti-oil protesters. I'm sure they're a great company.
