        No one should have to explain why throwing soup on a painting is a dumb way to protest - yes, even if the painting has a glass barrier

        In the modern history of protest it’s the stupidest possible way.

            We talk more about their tactics than the message they’re trying to spread, so I don’t think we’re really discussing the things they’d want us to focus upon.

              We only discuss their tactics briefly when they do something dramatic and get on the news.

              When people hear about their tactics, ask why they’re going so far, and look into environmental issues as a result, I think that can have a much longer lasting impact.

                And that’s where we disagree. I don’t think anybody is researching anything. The average person does not have the drive or attention span for a Step 2.

                Plus, I agree with their core ideology, yet I still think people who do this stuff are assholes, and I’m immediately annoyed on the outset. To expect people who aren’t invested in climate change to look past the “asshole” is a pretty big ask.
