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 @luca Two wrongs don’t make a right. The people throwing soup on priceless works of art only engendered animosity toward the movement. It was counterproductive. They helped this happen.

@j_s_j @luca But why can we not flip that perspective?

“...throwing climate-altering pollution into a priceless atmosphere, the only one of its kind known to humans, only engendered animosity toward the capitalist movement. It was counterproductive. No one wants capitalism now!”?

I don't think I'll ever understand the double standard.

@Brad_Rosenheim @luca That’s just being obtuse. The difference is readily obvious if you’re not trying to miss the point.

@j_s_j @luca If your point is that we need to protect the status quo so we don't disrupt too many people while we half-heartedly try to stop global warming, then, yes, I am trying to miss the point.

It is a double standard that the art is more precious than the planet that allowed the development of the intelligence to both create and to appreciate the art. It is frankly quite stupid.
