    Also, this seems like a much, MUCH better PR move than throwing paint at masterpieces in fucking museums.
    I don’t know who thought that was something that would have moved the public opinion towards their cause.

      Well it did seem to do a good job bringing attention to their cause. And, the worst damage incurred over the dozens of demonstrations was some minor frame damage. Imo it was kind of a brilliant scheme to get worldwide attention for the price of some tomato soup

        I don’t even know what you’re talking about so apparently it didn’t do that good of a job

        Nah, that was pretty useless because it just brought ridicule to them and the cause. A lot like gluing themselves to public surfaces, which anyone I talk to remembers laughingly, but nobody can tell me what they were protesting. That’s completely useless.

        This actually gets the point across.

      They were throwing paint into corporate offices and CEO’s cars at the same time. The media chose to put the art vandalism on blast. I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out the art vandalism was the idea of a corporate mole.

          No, I can believe that true believers thought that art vandalism was a good idea, but I’m just skeptical about where the idea originated from.

        Not to sound like a dick, but you sort of sound like Matt Gaetz accusing Antifa of J6.

        There is zero proof that these people are moles. I’d be hard pressed to find a white 20 something to act the part of a climate activist, on the behalf of the oil companies.
