To witness the irony of you calling them „destructive” for ruining a painting frame in protest to literally destroying a climate and an ecosystem of an entire planet makes it worth it to me.

They aren’t protesting against inflation, discrimination or even a war. They are protesting against our entire way of life, which needs to change drastically and as soon as possible if we want to have any sort of a predictable future at all.

And... how is throwing soup at paintings helping this? I didn't say anything about the people/lifestyle they're protesting against, because - guess what - the vast majority of the population are just going to see some idiots throwing soup at a painting and the rest of their message or cause it's then lost.

Soup on a painting, a brick through a window, whatever message you intend is going to get lost in the action of seeking attention
