Just Stop Oil activists throw soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers after fellow protesters jailed
www.theguardian.com
Three individuals targeted National Gallery paintings an hour after Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland were jailed for similar attack in 2022

This was the one soup-throwing which did any damage at all; in this case to the frame.

The penalty is appreciably worse than for minor violent attacks.

    I could throw soup on a painting,

    Yes, evidently they managed to do it

    or I could spray paint a billionaire’s mansion.

    You’d get arrested before ever reaching the wall.

    I could paint Stonehenge,

    Yes, evidently

    or I could sue the polluters.

    In the court the polluters have stacked themselves? Let me know how that goes. The polluters have more money and lawyers than you.

    The people deciding the laws are bought.

    I could deface historical artifacts,

    Yes

    or I could lobby a politician.

    What with all the millions you just have laying around? Lol get real.

    I suggest you introspect as to why the potential (or even actual) damage of artifacts makes you so angry. Why don’t all the artifacts that were lost to time make you angry as well? I understand feeling disappointed if one ever gets destroyed, but you seem much more agitated than that. That anger can be easily manipulated by your environment to make you do things against your self interest.

      I told you why. It’s not my fault you refuse to read.

      Why don’t all the artifacts that were lost to time make you angry as well?

      Because “time” isn’t a conscious agent.

      That anger can be easily manipulated by your environment to make you do things against your self interest.

      You mean like throwing soup on a painting, accomplishing nothing, and getting a prison sentence? Lol

      Edit: clarified a word.
