This sub constantly shitting on everything that isn't the "right way" has gotten really old. Can't do individual action, better to focus on policies. Can't change laws because lobbyists are more powerful, need to organize. And according to you, can't organize because Karen, who didn't give a shit to begin with, will think protesters are annoying. This specific effort is focused on Citibank and not general traffic disruption anyway. You're more than welcome to organize your 2M people and try not to disrupt, I'll support that too.
Throwing soup at paintings is the dumbest, most counter-productive way possible.
I’ll shit on that all day long.
Paintings in museums have glass in front of them. They are not damaged by this. However it gets clicks and then people talk about the climate crisis.
Yeah, great.
The climate crisis could have been represented better. And attacking museums is just low. Like they need that.
So it generates ad revenue for the media, helps sell whatever useless shit the ads are about, eats energy serving the content, and 'gets people talking' about something people are already constantly talking about. Sounds like a big win for the planet!
