Excellent deduction. I was totally saying they were the same thing. /s
Blocking emergency vehicles on roadways and damaging pieces of art aren’t “interrupting computer toy showcases” either (“God, people who play videogames… what a bunch of fucking losers! Right, /c/games?”). But “yay” for that, too.
youre not a loser for playing video games, youre a loser for comparing a game showcase getting interrupted to stabbing someone, or implying that being okay with the first says anything about your opinion on the former
Every car that is on the road is contributing to the blocking of emergency vehicles. If we’d follow the demands of these groups it would make it much easier for emergency vehicles to respond to emergencies.
And which peace of art were actually damaged? Throwing soup on a washable glass pane cannot be considered damageing by all means, leaving aside the fact that the comparision to stabbing someone remains ridiculous
“We hate oil! Let’s block traffic and force thousands of people to idle, burning more oil than they would’ve if we hadn’t blocked them!”
Absolute brainless bellends.
And yes, the actual art is fine. But they still do actual damage to other parts of the museums – spray-painting walls and destroying frames & display cases. And when they threw crap at the Mona Lisa, 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.
Oh, and the fun part. I 100% think we should reduce fossil fuel emissions.
Unfortunately, the Just Stop Oil geniuses are so hellbent on being attention-seeking tools that they destroy all of the credibility behind their cause.
a visitor to the Louvre Museum in Paris tried to smash the glass protecting the famous painting, and then smeared what looked like cake frosting across the surface.
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’
The only footage is of the aftermath. But if you want to disregard the eyewitness reports, then I guess you can be you.
Here’s a CNN report (you have to watch the video) where two eyewitnesses say the protestor tried to punch out the glass. I mean… I’m not accusing the person of being smart, trying to break bulletproof glass with their fists.
And I guess there’s always a chance this guy is from that other climate activist group that goes around vandalizing high-profile art, and then raving about how we’re killing the planet.
You can turn off the engine of an idle car. This argument is entirely “see what these people made us do” when the drivers enjoy wasting fuel on standing around.
Let’s ignore the fact that these protestors’ entire credo is: “The shitty thing you’re watching me physically do right now? it’s not my fault! Blame the corporations / capitalism / etc!”
Yes, you have our attention. But like when the dog finally catches the car it’s chasing… now what? Or did they never think past the step of doing destructive / self-destructive shit to piss people off?

[Just Stop Oil protestor stabs a random old lady in the face]
[Lemmy users collectively applaud in support] “If it wasn’t disruptive, nobody would listen! Yay!”
getting your computer toy showcase interrupted is literally exactly like an old lady getting stabbed, you absolute dork

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

I really hate to break it to you, but that isn’t the Mona Lisa.

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.
