Remember when people were arrested from throwing soup on paintings to protest #ClimateChange? Yeah? Well I wonder if everyone who wanted them arrested is starting to do the math.

@Brad_Rosenheim Because everyone who is against destroying art to draw attention to an issue which is not related to art is a climate denier?

@edgeofeurope @Brad_Rosenheim An issue not related to art? Who’s going to make the art when we’re all dead, Rob? The aardvarks?

@aral @Brad_Rosenheim Everything is related to the climate crisis, of course. Some things a bit more than others though.

But somehow it's been decided to attack art. Fine, but don't expect me to remain silent on the incomprehensible idiocy of this fuckery.

@edgeofeurope @aral Fire destroys art. Soup does not.

@Brad_Rosenheim @aral You understand my point perfectly well. There is no reason to single out art for your protests. None whatsoever. Get a goddamn grip and organize to make an impact, instead of making climate protesters look like idiots.

@edgeofeurope @Brad_Rosenheim @aral People protest at museums because museums accept funding from the petrochemical industry. They may have board members from the petrochemical industry. It's not unrelated, it's about divestment. You don't get a museum to distance themselves from Big Oil by waving signs on Main Street. Throwing soup on (protected) paintings is a very mild and careful way to make their point.
