    I do agree something needs done about climate change. But as someone who deeply appreciates art and understands how important it is to preserve it, I think protesters have a lot more avenue’s to gain attention AND actually target something related to climate change.

    Why not go throw soup on a representative or maybe throw soup on the door of a famous municipal building. Target government, they ultimately make the decisions.

      I believe that particular “activist” group has been found to be related to oil companies (taking money from them). And there was assumptions that they were just trying to throw bad reputation into the movement.

      Take it with a grain of salt because this is just something I remember reading some time ago and I don’t have any sources on it.

      The issue is that does not get as much attention and publicity.

      The problem with their approach however is that it makes everyone hate them.

        I don’t think is a matter of publicity.

        Every single human being on the planet knows what climate change is. Some people may not believe in it but they surely know what it is.

        IMHO the solution comes from (real) education on the matter. We are past publicity, we need schooling on both causes, consequences and solutions to climate change.

          It is a matter of publicity for just stop oil. They main goal afaik is to bring attention to the issues the oil industry makes. The fastest way to do that is to get as much publicity as possible. They are doing it in a stupid way though.

      You mean… apart from targeting the stuff capitalists put a lot of monetary value on? You know… the same capitalist parasites that caused climate change?

      But as someone who deeply appreciates art

      Fuck art.
