    Maybe they’re feds, maybe they’re not. I can’t really say.

    There is no perfect activist. Every person is flawed. I watched some of these people being interviewed and they seem like random people who are just actually afraid of climate change. Also the media did misinformation on the soup painting thing. The activists said they only threw paint/soup at painting that they knew was behind glass.

    Last summer, the sky was filled with smoke for 2 whole months. For months of the summer there was smoke in the sky every day from the Canada wildfires. I could smell the smoke outside daily. I live in North Carolina. I am hundreds of miles away from Canada. I would ask people, “Do you see the smoke in the sky? Do you smell it? It’s on the news” and still people were completely oblivious to it.

    Every year is the hottest year on record. The sky is on fire. I’m struggling to care about the optics of painting of old rocks.

    If climate change is a genuine danger, then some people will respond in irrational ways. The point is not to chastise the people who react this way, it is to fix the threat of climate change.

      For sure

      Didn’t mean to disparage the people on the ground, I just think the leadership is sus
