Just Stop Oil activists throw soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers after fellow protesters jailed
Three individuals targeted National Gallery paintings an hour after Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland were jailed for similar attack in 2022
I'll just go ahead and copy a previous comment I made for this one, because as always a lot of people don't feel like reading the article.
"Painting was behind glass, the point is that in a climate change hellscape all this precious art is in danger. If all the people who read about a painting they've never heard of before get angry about "paint being thrown at it" they'll really hate what'll happen with extreme weather in a climate disaster. "
These activists have some weird ideas sometimes, but this isn't really one of them. If you read the article they all acknowledge that what they did they aren't somehow entitled to do, and that they will probably go to jail for it as well. The entire point as with all protest is to shove it in the face of all the people that ignore this issue on a daily basis.
Oil companies are doing the same thing to all precious art and nature and all the things you love, so where is the accountability for them?
TL;DR these people are annoying, and that's the fucking point.
I think people forget protests are supposed to be annoying. How else would you get attention? Asking nicely isn't helping.
Throw Soup At The Oil Execs Instead
I would shake someone's hand that did this
These pro-acrylic protests are getting out of hand!
golf clap
How does one determine which kind of soup to use for this?
Heinz, apparently, is the most wholesome choice for these anti-oil protesters. I'm sure they're a great company.
Whatever is on sale.
Its the soup thats not for your family.
I wonder if they would kill someone just to get attention at some point.
Maybe they’d let me beat the everliving shit out of them for their cause.
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.
