 The painting is obviously behind glass so it's not really ruined

 

 

Soft, soothing, and succulent

I don't see how that's gonna solve anything. It gets them press unfortunately.

I'm more worried about the protection of a historical art piece. Thank you.

Than the planet itself?

it's soup spilled on glass. calm down.

i ****ing hate the establishment that is driving humanity into extinction AND I think activism like this is cringy as f*ck, but every day I'm thankful that our hand is not in the hands of people who act out every cruel and sadistic punishment fantasy they have in their head.

"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.

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.

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

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 :air: As if simply electing some centre-left government will immediately stop the melting of the ice caps :sharon: 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 :lmao:

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.

I care for the planet as well. I understand their intentions, but actions like throwing things at history just upsets me.

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?

I never thought about that. That's a better way to think about it. I like that perspective.
