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
I would shake someone’s hand that did this
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.
A man literally self-immolated to try to bring attention to our lack of effort to confront climate change. It was barely covered and you don’t seem to even know it happened. But you’re here fantasizing about violence because they threw some soup on a painting’s protective glass, so it seems like that’s actually working.
and you don’t seem to even know it happened
When you pretend to be able to read my mind via the internet and then try to use that in order to justify your argument, I feel no compunction in immediately dismissing you— you’re clearly irrational and will do/say anything to further your agenda… just like these people who would destroy priceless works of art or light themselves aflame just for attention when alternatives are available and such methods have never been proven to be effective.
Don’t blame me for my valid criticisms. Just find better ways to achieve your goals.
If you knew someone self-immolated and didn’t get coverage, what is your reasoning behind the very stable and very cool suggestion that you would beat them up for publicity? That a self-inflicted death wouldn’t get attention, but maybe a voluntary assault would?
You just didn’t know, but can’t drop the tough guy act to admit it.
Once again— stick to the facts…
Your valid criticism is… to beat the shit out of them? I mean look, I’ve seen some bad criticism but that’s not even in the right basket.
Valid criticism is to call out their (your) destruction of priceless artifacts, and priceless art and their burning of themselves just for attention. Attention which accomplishes nothing.
Your only response is to blame me for pointing that out. How childish. How dare you.
You’ve got nothing but empty intentions and empty gestures. What a disappointing thing you are. You are nothing but the tantrums you throw, and no one will remember you for anything but that. Tantrums.
While I understand your thought process, that in some way, people who actually destroy priceless works of arts and or historical sites. I understand your desire to beat the shit out of them…. OK, that wasn’t worded quite as well as I planned, but I think you get the idea. I understand somewhat of where you’re coming from, what I would ask for you to do is to read the article and just look more carefully because they didn’t destroy anything. The painting is covered by glass. they made a mess. Yes, probably destroyed part of the wall and may have stained it, which is obviously destruction. I will admit that. But the painting itself was unaffected. It’s covered completely. The protesters knew that before they ever threw anything at it.
There was no actual destruction of the painting there.
I do still understand where you’re coming from that people who do destroy priceless works of art, I do understand where you’re coming from, on wanting to beat the crap out of them.
And I’m rereading what I just typed throughout this and damn my ability to type and speak coherently sucks today. Guess it’s just one of those days for me.
You’re replying to the wrong guy silly. I didn’t blame you for pointing anything out lol.
I have implied nothing
Just find better ways to achieve your goals.
Nah.
So you admit that your own ideology is to blame. It’s your own audiology that has failed.
My audiology is fine, I have a pretty big collection.
If you’ve got a better strategy than damaging plexiglass, why aren’t you doing anything? Get out there and prove them wrong, champ.
I don’t mean that as a dig, I mean seriously, go out there and do something. The world needs you.
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.
Nice dude you owned those activists
Its the soup thats not for your family.
Whatever is on sale.
