I bought high altitude land in the hopes that it will eventually become beachfront property. C'mon, climate. Change!

They got sentenced for vandalizing irreplaceable art, not for ‘throwing soup’.
People who damage culturally significant, irreplaceable things to get attention for their cause deserve this kind of punishment or worse. They have the same mindset as the Taliban blowing up cliff carvings. And they lack the intelligence and creativity to bring attention to their cause without destroying things.
Do we need to fix our societies destruction of our own planet’s habitability? Yes without question. This isn’t the way.
They didn't damage it. They did throw soup at it.
Their tactic is also working. You're aware of the event, who they are, what they stand for, and why they did it.
Their lack of success is irrelevant. They tried to damage it.
I was already aware we're destroying the planet. I don't need stupid kids trying to destroy art in a museum to inform me about that.

The people who vandalize Ferraris and private jets also get into the news and don’t damage irreplaceable cultural artifacts.
Are you... seriously advocating for vandalizing Ferraris here? What the fuck?
What they're doing is fundamentally harmless. You do realize that these paintings are behind glass, yeah? It's not like they're throwing soup directly onto canvases. They're damaging museum glass at worst. The dollar amount of the damage is relatively minor, the whole point is civil disobedience and to draw media attention.

Fuck those shitheads for vandalizing art.
If you really need attention there are plenty of expensive things without cultural value to future generations.
is the environment of the earth not of cultural significance to you?
We had to destroy culture to save it!
How about no.
That doesn’t answer my question.
Do you value the environment?
Fuck your false dichotomy.
Relax. Maybe get off the internet for a minute. If not, actually read the news. They didn’t destroy any art. These paintings are well secured in tamper proof little boxes. They can wipe this shit off or put the art in new ones.
You are the one succumbing to a false dichotomy here.
You’re the one saying we need to vandalize art to save the environment.
