      It’s not the oil of the day that they’re trying to stop burning but the oil of the many years to come.

      Making the activity of driving as inconvenient as possible is the goal and will work.

      Change and growth as a society is never easy and never will be.

      they tried breaking through the glass protecting the painting first, so they could destroy the actual painting

      Well that’s just straight up not true. Not only did they not try to break the glass, they did research in advance to ensure that the art was appropriately sealed to ensure they didn’t damage it. If your argument is so shaky that you feel the need to just fucking lie to make the people you don’t like look worse, maybe you might want to reconsider your stance instead of just committing even harder.

      Since you’re inevitably going to go “yEs ThEy DiD”, here’s a video of them doing it to get that over with in advance.

      Edit: “won’t someone please think of the poor display cases?!”

      Jesus man, the planet is dying and you’re upset about a pane of glass getting soup on it - get your damn priorities straight

          is there any actual footage of said visitor trying to smash the bullet proof glass covering the mona lisa or is this literally just based off the one tweet news orgs seem to reference

          this guy also is not associated with just stop oil from what i can tell

          it seems pretty disingenuous to judge the demonstration in the post, or anyone supporting it, because ‘some completely unrelated guy did something completely unrelated once’
