Because if they did you wouldn’t be pissed off by it making a comment.
Scientists and activists have been drawing our attention to climate change since the 80’s, it doesn’t seem to be working so might as well try something else.
Except this “something else” is just making them look like destructive idiots and not drawing any sort of positive attention to that cause (unless you consider having more destructive idiots join up positive).
Blocking a pipeline development or shipment of dirty coal is at least reasonably related to what they’re protesting. This is just “look at me” tactics
To witness the irony of you calling them „destructive” for ruining a painting frame in protest to literally destroying a climate and an ecosystem of an entire planet makes it worth it to me.
They aren’t protesting against inflation, discrimination or even a war.
They are protesting against our entire way of life, which needs to change drastically and as soon as possible if we want to have any sort of a predictable future at all.
And… how is throwing soup at paintings helping this? I didn’t say anything about the people/lifestyle they’re protesting against, because - guess what - the vast majority of the population are just going to see some idiots throwing soup at a painting and the rest of their message or cause it’s then lost.
Soup on a painting, a brick through a window, whatever message you intend is going to get lost in the action of seeking attention
