advance climate change by….destroying art? makes all kinds of sense

[The Dad Fisherman]

Are the oil companies going to respond?
Are any people going to immediately halt using petroleum products because of this?
Are Investments going to shift away from oil investments?

Why is it so hard to just say they’re idiots? They threw potatoes at a painting and glued themselves to the wall…..there’s not a lot that’s more idiotic than that.

I did Jim

Aileen Getty has not personally worked in the oil industry and has poured much of her fortune into philanthropic ventures related to the climate crisis

its an actual foundation .. by the way not a fraguldent one that was Court-Ordered $2 Million For Illegally Using Foundation Funds for you know who


She co-founded the non-profit Climate Emergency Fund (CEF) in 2019 and has reportedly donated $1m of her personal wealth to be used to support environmental activist groups, including Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion.

So with your logic she participated in the defacing of these art works


another little bit of information

Extinction Rebellion spokesperson Brad Homewood told the Guardian that they did it knowing it would not damage the artwork. "Our intention was always to glue on to the perspex protecting it," he said.

Which is why I said "heiress" and not "CEO".

She's an oil billionaire paying people to cause unrest to get off fossil fuels. In other words, she's an unprincipled dingbat.

That is a very deep and key question, and gets to the heart of where the left is right now. None of them will ever just say "my god they're idiots". Because as Jordan Peterson says, they don't merely "believe" in liberalism. They are enslaved by it. The Narrative can never be wrong.

He calls it "the pathology of ideological possession", and he's right. They are literally possessed by liberalism.

jim thinks they are terrorist.. LOL but protesting in a state house armed is Freedom

It's not something that's going to change what oil companies or Governments do or don't do .. and I doubt they think that was the objective .

But their stunt did what it was intended to do It drew some attention to an issue they clearly care about .. and call it dumb or smart it matters little to me
it's not like we haven't seen this style of protest before Across the planet
