      Just Stop Oil threw soup on artwork in a museum. It wasn’t destroyed all the souped art had protective glass shields and they knew that which is why they did it. Basically just made a mess that you can clean up with a cloth and mop.

      They’ve souped quite a few artworks before.

        Well that’s the opposite of an answer to my question, it’s an example of a time they didn’t destroy art with soup

        ???

        They knew full well that the glass was there, which is why they did it to that painting. What makes you think they’re morons???

        Hey, while we’re talking about it, why do we seem to care so much about a painting that wasn’t damaged, but we don’t seem to put nearly as much effort into hating on the people and companies that are actually destroying the world we live on?

          Because “we” is an idiot who doesn’t understand what they are talking about but want to appear as if they do.

            I’m genuinely trying to understand what information you’re using to come to the conclusion that they’re an idiot
