    Man the difference in perception between stunts done by virtue activists, and actual actionable activism is wild.

    Throwing paint on historical artifacts to make a point ☹️. Throwing paint in clean rooms to change the situation 😄.

      I still don’t really get people who defend defacing artifacts as it doesn’t really prove a point or make anyone join their side. But on the other hand throwing paint in clean rooms is golden as it actually does something 😁

        I don’t understand how you can value art more than life. Those are just things and usually they aren’t harmed because they’re behind glass as intended. How any multi million dollar art piece isn’t behind glass is beyond me.

    What did they actually do? I see they threw paint, but was it in the can and then it collapsed the roof? Did they cut the roof away? I’m not sure of the logistics here.
