    A man literally self-immolated to try to bring attention to our lack of effort to confront climate change. It was barely covered and you don’t seem to even know it happened. But you’re here fantasizing about violence because they threw some soup on a painting’s protective glass, so it seems like that’s actually working.

      and you don’t seem to even know it happened

      When you pretend to be able to read my mind via the internet and then try to use that in order to justify your argument, I feel no compunction in immediately dismissing you— you’re clearly irrational and will do/say anything to further your agenda… just like these people who would destroy priceless works of art or light themselves aflame just for attention when alternatives are available and such methods have never been proven to be effective.

      Don’t blame me for my valid criticisms. Just find better ways to achieve your goals.

        Your valid criticism is… to beat the shit out of them? I mean look, I’ve seen some bad criticism but that’s not even in the right basket.

                  If you can’t deal with the things I didn’t say, goodbye

                  That just proves that you are pre-canned arguments are not prepared to deal with reality

            While I understand your thought process, that in some way, people who actually destroy priceless works of arts and or historical sites. I understand your desire to beat the shit out of them…. OK, that wasn’t worded quite as well as I planned, but I think you get the idea. I understand somewhat of where you’re coming from, what I would ask for you to do is to read the article and just look more carefully because they didn’t destroy anything. The painting is covered by glass. they made a mess. Yes, probably destroyed part of the wall and may have stained it, which is obviously destruction. I will admit that. But the painting itself was unaffected. It’s covered completely. The protesters knew that before they ever threw anything at it.

            There was no actual destruction of the painting there.

            I do still understand where you’re coming from that people who do destroy priceless works of art, I do understand where you’re coming from, on wanting to beat the crap out of them.

            And I’m rereading what I just typed throughout this and damn my ability to type and speak coherently sucks today. Guess it’s just one of those days for me.

        If you knew someone self-immolated and didn’t get coverage, what is your reasoning behind the very stable and very cool suggestion that you would beat them up for publicity? That a self-inflicted death wouldn’t get attention, but maybe a voluntary assault would?

        You just didn’t know, but can’t drop the tough guy act to admit it.

          So you admit that your own ideology is to blame. It’s your own audiology that has failed.

            My audiology is fine, I have a pretty big collection.

            If you’ve got a better strategy than damaging plexiglass, why aren’t you doing anything? Get out there and prove them wrong, champ.

            I don’t mean that as a dig, I mean seriously, go out there and do something. The world needs you.
