No, but they should be coherent and meaningful. These fools (or possibly goons for oil companies) who attack paintings are only making environmentalism look utterly stupid. They are openly mocked by everybody because they're lashing out incoherently.
They're actively working against environmentalism. I really think they're bad, selfish, narcissistic, and stupid people. They don't care about the environment.
There is absolutely no reason to think their ridiculous behavior could possibly help the environment.

There is no connection to environmental issues. They are doing this to look cool to their friends.
They are doing it because it gets people talking and thinking about climate collapse, and that leads to solutions.
No, it gets people talking about people who glue themselves to paintings. And that's as far as the conversation goes because it has no connection whatsoever to environmental issues. It's pure uncut narcissism.
This has nothing to do with mental illness, don't use that word like that
Come back when you have something substantial to contribute.
