If anyone thinks these humans are overreacting
then they don't understand the Climate Emergency
no coffee-no chocolate-no olive-no prosecco-no wine will be the least of your worries let alone silly old paintings

In jail where they belong!!

That’s a long sentence, but those protests were the wrong way to go. The art got more coverage than the bewildering reason they did it.

ghiggs.bsky.social•95 days ago

What would be the 'right' way? Because this planet is in serious trouble and nothing, absolutely nothing, is being done to seriously address this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8Q8RQ4fbcQ&t=3845s

No need to argue about the way to protest here if we just look at the reactions.

If a big majority of people think this way of protesting is wrong you can never win the hearts of the people and reach your goal.

sugarcubedog.bsky.social•95 days ago

And I’m saying it’s just this type of action doesn’t work. The message got lost.

gamergramps420.bsky.social•95 days ago

😂🤣

sugarcubedog.bsky.social•95 days ago

No one is disputing we’re in big trouble, but people should’ve been talking about their cause after the action and not just the art. The reason got lost.

peacsy.bsky.social•95 days ago

But that's down to the way it's reported, which is down to an agenda of the owners of the media.

sugarcubedog.bsky.social•95 days ago

Alright. Muting this thread because too many of you don’t get it.

peacsy.bsky.social•95 days ago

Classic.

Awful. Where are the tractor drivers??

crispeye.bsky.social•95 days ago

The never-ending victimhood of narcissistic compassion.

pete-k.bsky.social•95 days ago

Should have brought a tractor with them

If you're naughty and piss a lot of people off, you go to jail. It was about time these doughnuts were sent to nick.
And yes, they are criminals.

jock-swizz.bsky.social•95 days ago

Do you really think so?

We have systems of government wherein it is forbidden to annoy the ruling classes. These are called authoritarian regimes.

Being annoying is an essential feature of democracy - it's how we get things done...

thewelshchimp.bsky.social•95 days ago

The police could have left it to the motorists to decide an appropriate punishment for them at the time, I suppose. Maybe a light clip around the ear?

jock-swizz.bsky.social•95 days ago

Motorists?

Art critics, maybe... these guys glued themselves to a painting.

thewelshchimp.bsky.social•95 days ago

Not as annoying imo, so they would be sent straight to bed with no vegan supper instead

wildlystrollingben.bsky.social•95 days ago

If they decided to paint everything orange here in East Tennessee no one would mind. They’d just think they were UT fans.

tfgr.bsky.social•95 days ago

Cool, Merry Christmas in jail dumbass.

ravenwolfmoon.bsky.social•95 days ago

They're not seen as activists but as juvenile delinquents. Destroying works of art is the wrong way to make our voices heard. The sentence is too long for what they did, but this shows how rich people, who commit crimes are walking free while protesters are in jail.

jenpocalypse.bsky.social•95 days ago

These guys are so fucking idiotic.

Rich people don't give a single fuck about works of art they haven't bought/stolen.

These dumbfucks are wasting their time, their energy, and destroying irreplaceable things for absolutely no reason.

Stupid fucking waste.

peacsy.bsky.social•95 days ago

They haven't destroyed any works of art... So maybe the dumbfucks accusation needs to be directed elsewhere..hmm
