Well, she inhereted all that money, right? Maybe… Juuuust maybe she could spend it on nuclear or green energy production technologies.

“Raising awareness” and “things happening” aren’t the same thing.

Due diligence goes both ways.

No. Oil companies could manipulate people like these to make activism look bad, by, for example, doing really dumb stints like these.

Investing in nuclear would help.

Throwing soup in art galleries is worse than doing nothing.

Bit we’re not talking about stopping oil production. We’re talking about how stupid and pointless defacing art is.

Yeah, so Just Stop Oil grabbed attention with a stupid act. What’s everyone talking about? The stupid act.

Big oil gets away with shit because the activists that suck up all the attention are retards.

We’re talking about their pointless stunt, not about climate change. They’re adding absolutely nothing.

You’d have to live under a rock to not be aware of climate change. If you do live under a rock, you wouldn’t hear about some dumbasses throwing soup in an art gallery.

If you know about climate change, but don’t care about climate change, a stupid act like this is not going to change their mind. Nothing will.

An incredibly stupid sentiment.

Assault on an oil exec… I don’t see anything morally wrong here. It’s also straight to the point, rather than attacking art.

Anything that targets art is on the wrong side of history.

Throwing soup at paintings is only radical in how radically stupid it is.

You want radical? Go sabotage an oil refinery. Become eco-terrorists.

What Just Stop Oil is doing is nothing more than feeling good about themselves.

I don’t own a car. Most of what I do is done via bicycle, with the occasional public transport on the side. I don’t buy a new piece of tech whenever it comes out, or throw tech out unless it’s well and truly broken. I don’t participate in one-day fashion, usually wearing all my clothes till they’re threadbare.

But these are all consumer side things. They don’t do shit. It’s a wonderful corporate ploy to say that climate change is somehow in our hands. But throwing soup at great art sure as fuck isn’t going to suddenly change that.

No, but actions like this will bring more people onto their side.

Well, clearly not throwing crap at paintings. Now I want to see these guys arrested and thrown in jail.

Oh, I dunno, any action that’s actually related to the industry? Throwing crap at classic art as a means to bring attention to a cause completely unrelated to classic art is retarded.

Just Stop Oil has to be the most destructive and idiotic activist group I’ve ever heard of (besides Greenpeace and their anti-nuclear agenda). They make activism as a whole look bad with their pointless stunts.

What does Vincent van Gogh have to do with the current state of the petrol industry? What does any classical artist have to do with the current state of the petrol industry? Why go out of one’s way to try and ruin something that isn’t even remotely related to the subject? They’re only making themselves look like a bad joke.

Doesnt help they’re total assholes either; a few years ago they blocked a motorway in England in protest. Fair enough. But there was a family who’s baby had to be rushed to the nearest hospital, and they weren’t allowed to pass! Seriously, fuck them.
