I almost feel like it'd be better to protest food insecurity by helping providing the food to people who need it in public demonstrations and gatherings, not trying to feed an inanimate painting to "make a statement". The bulletproof glass is there for a reason, it's almost as if trying to throw things at it is old and boring and half-expected at this point.

Sounds like a good protest to me. > helping providing the food to people who need it in public demonstrations and gatherings That does not get attention and attention is needed to help fuel a cause and affect political change. What food people eat and how affordable food becomes is entirely a political choice driven by lobbying and subsidies.
- slothtrop 3y ago> I learned about them today. They achieved what they wanted You might as well say every single stunt of this nature is a "victory". You learned about yet-another-environmental-group (the article only mentions their name), but you knew about the climate crisis already. > attention is needed The climate crisis does not lack attention. So much so people are fatigued and jaded. Awareness campaigns are redundant. People are sick of it. You have a small demo that might be interested in reading about pragmatic solutions, some that drink the kool-aid for x/y/z ideology, and the majority that have tuned out of the conversation.
