    No, but they should be coherent and meaningful. These fools (or possibly goons for oil companies) who attack paintings are only making environmentalism look utterly stupid. They are openly mocked by everybody because they’re lashing out incoherently.

    They’re actively working against environmentalism. I really think they’re bad, selfish, narcissistic, and stupid people. They don’t care about the environment.

    There is absolutely no reason to think their ridiculous behavior could possibly help the environment.

      Read some books about how to do politics strategically and you’ll see why they do this

      Your anger works in their favor

        When you vaguely tell somebody to read more it’s because you have no actual argument.

        There is no connection to environmental issues. They are doing this to look cool to their friends.

            No, it gets people talking about people who glue themselves to paintings. And that’s as far as the conversation goes because it has no connection whatsoever to environmental issues. It’s pure uncut narcissism.

    When is it appropriate for climate protests to turn into climate violence? When is it appropriate for a victim to fight back? Or must we allow billionaires and conservatives to kill us all?

      These protests have no connection to the issue. I honestly think many of them are paid by oil companies to make the environmental movement look bad.

        Stopping personal traffic by blocking cars and being “annoying” in places that often are lit for no reason through entire nights are both protests very close to the issue.
