[@phoenixbluex]

I agree. If they spread their message by helping poor people and kids, the public reaction would be much more positive.

[@Ireenne]

It is not that they enjoy destroying things, I imagine that the idea is showing how ironic we are as a society. Basically, they spend a huge amount of money protecting pieces of art but people don't really care about protecting the enviroment, or something like that. I really don't care about the pieces of art. I wouldn't destroy it myself, but I think that they have to make some noise in order to be listene. Saddly, not many things have been achieved peacefully.

[@Dora0022]

@@Ireenne I actually think that a lot more was archived peacefully than with violence but we tend to see what is portrayed more dramatically. Maybe you don‘t enjoy or care about paintings or art. But I, and many people, who enjoy going to museums to enjoy some peace, to just reflect and feel something, do. Society was and will never be just and we do not reach goals be angering masses of people by destroying pieces other people worked hard for. Even if we are not reaching a consensus about climate change or any other topic, can we at least try to stay sane and human? Destroying food, someone‘s hard work, and something countless people enjoy will not change anything. People will however question, what these activists do in there daily lives and how they live. Are they completely free of any food, clothing and packaging that contains oil? Do they have a plan for the whole world that could be archived right now? The thing is, most countries don‘t have enough money to give food to their population, they are obviously not gonna care about these issues. I honestly don‘t see how climate change could be stopped and I think that most people should really just understand that it will get worse and we can‘t possibly change that. But we can stay human by not trying to destroy things countless people can enjoy. This is not the way and they need to stop.

I'd love to live in a cleaner environmentally friendly world but I have some questions for the activists 1) what alternatives can they provide or help provide 2) how can they ensure that if we all stop using oil that we all can access alternatives and 3) how can they ensure that the transition can be a) affordable because not all of us can afford solar panels or electric heating for example and b) that it won't stop people being able to go to work, get to their relatives or children in hospital.... I am not against their cause I just think no matter how much you escalate and do damage to prove your point you must also be able to have a plan to provide groundwork for that change...

Not only did they disrespect those innocent artists, they also threw food away rather than giving em to people in need.

If you want attention and support for your advocacy, do it in a meaningful and positive way, not like this. This gives environmental activism a negative feel.

The ingredients of that soup were transported with fossil fuels to wherever it was processed and contained in materials transported over there by fossil fuels, it went to the UK via fossil fuels, they went to the supermarket via methods that use fossil fuels, buy the soup, go to another store via fossil fuels to get glue transported to there with fossil fuels, then they went to the museum via methods that use fossil fuels, to throw the soup on a painting worth around 8-13 entire human lives. Don't forget the activist shirts they wore, probably transported via fossil fuels to the UK, and their hair spray that is probably made with fossil fuels.
