The worst part about Vincent Van Soup is that people still talk about it two years later.
Yeah, talking about what shitheads those people were, not about any meaningful action on the actual issue.
Is the orange paint a good protest? I don’t think so. But at least it actually is a protest. The action being taken is actually related to the message they want to convey.
Throwing soup at a painting is not protesting or activism. It’s just vandalism while wearing a t-shirt.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”
Really, you’re comparing morality the well deserved comeuppance for petty vandalism to the systematic oppression of an entire race? Wow … that’s fucking disgusting, you should be ashamed.
But no point in further arguing with that level of delusion. Have a day.

“the oppressor doesn’t get to tell the oppressed how to protest”
Only tangentially related here but the principle remains

Throwing soup on a FRAME is hardly vandalism, especially considering no real damage was done.
Crazily enough though, we still talk about it. No one will remember this orange paint.
Its nice of you to so succinctly prove their point.
