> The scale of destruction from climate activists is many orders of magnitude less than the destruction of what they're railing against. two wrongs don't make

  No one is claiming two wrongs don't make a right. I'm certainly not saying these activists should have no punishment (and they know that they're risking prosecution when they undertake their actions). But we should also be keenly aware that the emitters that causing a giant and growing crisis which has already killed a bunch of people and will kill many more in the future are not facing any punishment, and this should be at least as significant a story as 2 people getting 2 years for throwing soup.

    Museums are NOT the emitters. As I said before this is just a silly excuse to attack valuable objects from western culture.

  your metaphor has the timeline backwards. bob has an obligation to defend lisa from assault im fucking the planet, therefore bob can shoot at me
  • pvaldes 2y ago
    Don't argue the metaphor (specially if you aren't understanding it: Here Bob "oil company families" is funding the rape of Lisa "museums" by a third. Bob and Lisa aren't related at all). Stop-Oil need to be in a special class of ignorant to not even understand that old painting masters had none relationship with Petrol companies. They painted using only 100% sustainable vegetable oil taken from agriculture. Would they have a tenth of a brain, stop-oil should be promoting the use of sustainable alternatives to fossil oils. They should be helping museums, not assaulting them.
