Well the most priceless piece in our entire existence is about to be rendered unusable by our species. That kick your taint a little? Or do you just care about art that humans made as some sort of symbol of taste and intelligence?
No no, you see, it’s for THEIR cause. The beatings would be happening to raise awareness of climate change, not to support oil companies. Isn’t that the logic, here? There’s no other relevance of attempted vandalism of a painting by a man who died before climate change was even fully understood. The cause is all-important; the act just a detail to catch eyes, apparently.
I think the most important thing is to not bother a single soul while trying to take action about a serious global issue, just really stay out of everyone’s way if you want your point to stick in the minds of people. Its the only way to grab their attention.
I would guess that the vast majority of people who treasure art also care a great deal about climate change. So I’m not sure how getting their attention helps.
You’re reading this in a newspaper. It’s in no way limited to art enjoyers.
Not that I have any idea why you think art enjoyers are particularly climate conscious. Or that their consciousness extends to actually doing anything rather than just thinking it would be nice if the environment was cleaner.
The level of disdain you have for people who are already ideologically aligned with you is insane, especially considering that you believe that this kind of action, in addition, is just what is needed to win them over. Are we running on battered spouse rules or something?
I don’t give a fuck about bothering people. I give a fuck about the potential damage to pieces of human heritage. Take a sledgehammer, hit the streets, hell, hit the oil execs, I don’t give a fuck. But don’t damage artwork or artifacts that are generations old and widely recognized as important pieces of human culture.
Like, fuck, when anti-colonial activists knifed that painting of some British twat a few months back, I was totally fine with it. Because it was:
A relevant British twat to colonization
A painting that wasn’t even that fucking old
A painting that was not widely recognized as a cultural treasure
You’ll notice how the only thing they can cite is “worry” by “staff” with no qualification for whether the worry was realistic. People worry about a lot of things and are willing to claim they worry about much more when it suits them. “I feared for my life” doesn’t actually mean your life was in danger.
They’re not mentioning “worries” of the people who actual design the protection, because those people either don’t worry or should find a different job. A liquid leaking through to damage the painting is literally the purpose of the protection. Especially after such high profile events starting years ago, including literally this same painting.
Pug my guy, all bets are off, every polluting industry is grinding billions to keep this cart on its current track. I’m sure if they could strike at oil execs they would, but have you tried to locate these people? Which mansion are they in at this time of year? Its not realistic. We’re burning alive right now. They need to garner mass attention now, and we’re all sitting here arguing over the efficacy of paint on paper instead of talking about the literal destruction of all life supporting habitats, not even just human. Its that serious.
Have fun being free Pinkertons for the Oil corps. Maybe you should direct your anger at them since they are the reason why these people are activists.
I’m not interested in this stupid cause. It’s not worth destroying a priceless piece of art just to draw attention to it.

Your childish attempt to blame me for the actions of these vandals is preposterous.
Find a better way to achieve your goals that doesn’t involve hypocritically destroying things of irreplaceable value.

I wonder if they got off, come to think of it.
Ok, then why are you complaining. There was zero potential damage from this act.
Not even close to true.
Priceless human heritage, purchased in 1999.
