Pablo 8,597 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I don't see how that's gonna solve anything. It gets them press unfortunately. Don't visit my profile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSine 6,912 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I'm more worried about the protection of a historical art piece. Thank you. 💛 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Good time in prison" for not damaging the painting at all and only causing MINOR property damage because some soup spilled on the wall and they have to overpaint the marks where they glued themselves to is an remarkably insane demand.

LaLuna 12,732 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 This is getting ridiculous. Like, I get the sentiment, you want to protect the planet, fine. But vandalism is not the way to go about it, you're not going to achieve anything and you're only going to piss people off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLa 19,898 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 you know what, I'm not mad at this. They chose a painting behind glass so no harm is done, they get press to get their message out and the message is actually an important one! Is there a better way to go about this? Maybe, but at least they care enough to do something, so eh, carry on I say Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lodylody 1,790 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Everyone saying that this isn't the right way to go about doing things, like these "net zero" targets and corporate greenwashing campaigns are doing any better at stopping further climate collapse As if simply electing some centre-left government will immediately stop the melting of the ice caps The climate crisis doesn't even get any attention unless people do stuff like this, maybe if politicians put their money where their mouths are and dealt with the problem, people wouldn't feel compelled to do these things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RahrahWitch 6,985 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I'm going to choose to believe they knew the glass would protect the art and just wanted to make a statement. If they get nothing more than headlines that's a win, People need to be reminded every chance we can about how f**ked we are and how our leaders aren't doing enough.

I think societies should set standards when it comes to people trying to damage properties of others, especially if those properties have a certain historic value. It's not about the amount of damage, it's about the action itself. It's not ok. They should get punished for this and if it would be up to me, they would spend at least a month behind bars.

nATAH 57,316 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 i'm starting to think some of these "protests" are just plants who purposely do things that disrupt or anger the majority so their anger stays misdirected nobody should be mad at this, they should be mad at the rich who keep bleeding the planet dry for profit... THOSE are the people who should be arrested mother, what must i do? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
