...but they didn't destroy an irreplaceable piece of cultural heritage at all, did they? None of their protests have. They got some soup on some glass.

It's interesting you'd fixate on blowing this non-issue out of proportion rather than the actual irreplaceable damage we do by creating mass-extinction events.

Hey, I wasn't trying to blow this out of proportion. I was just commenting on what the article said. If you want to talk about how humans destroy ecosystems because of our greedy systems, I'm down for that. Just let me know, no need to be passive-aggressive about it.

...buuut

highlight an issue for a price of destruction of irreplaceable cultural heritage.

...when someone splashed some soup on some glass.

That's what you're talking about, and I think it goes without saying, that's both untrue and beside the point. I'm not sure there's anything passive about what I'm saying.

Just to be clear, I'm talking about these kinds of protests in general. I also said that in this case, things worked out. But I can see now that you're not interested in having a real discussion and just want to argue.
