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 @aral

Nothing is out of bounds. Protests are supposed to annoy, even shock, people. You are showing that this one was effective.

When civilization collapses, the art, which is probably the greatest symbol of our civilization, will cease to matter. Cease to be protected. Cease to be created. Cease to exist. That is much sadder, shocking, riling, than a can of soup or removable paint. I think you see the point of my post. It is long past time society wakes up to what is truly important.

@Brad_Rosenheim @aral The collective has decided to attack art and resistance to that only proves the collective is always right.

Morons, the lot of you.

@edgeofeurope I'm honestly shocked you're still saying that art was "attacked", when you've acknowledged that the art was never, in fact, endangered. Every one of the protests was designed to ensure the art was preserved.

You're mad just to be mad, not for any real reason.

But, sure bud. The protestors are the "morons".
