Dutch painting should be thrown in their soups, ruining their meals.
Run over. Their parents should have warned them about playing in the street.

If we stop oil, the protests will stop. Simples!
I can't fault their concern for the environment, but I think that tactics like that just make people dislike them and their cause. I don't think they're going about it the right way.

I think it is.
I've seen what drilling for oil does to the areas around where they drill, there really isn't anything good about it. However, throwing a tantrum and sitting in the street probably isn't the most effective means to get your point across.

These tactics aren't meant to persuade anyone or raise awareness. Anthropogenic global warming is one of those issues like guns or Trump or abortion where everyone picked their side years ago and can't be persuaded out of it, thinks the other side is evil and/or retarded, and the battle lines are clearly drawn.
Apparently this is supposed to be some kind of movement to raise awareness and spark the masses to demand action. Of course everyone is
aware of global warming, oil, etc but maybe if we throw shit all over the Mona Lisa and block up rush hour traffic people will be shaken out of the daze they are in and call up their senator/representative/MP/whatever they call it in Yurop and demand oil be phased out RIGHT NOW so they'll stop desecrating paintings.
I think they're 99% spoiled rich kids living a life of comfort. Disrupting commutes isn't a big deal for them because they don't have to commute. They're students, trust fund babies, and if they do have a job it's something they can work remotely at, supported by this unseen mass of people cooking their food, manufacturing their iPhones, filling their online orders, and allowing them to contribute nothing of value to society. They're parasites and their backs would be some of the first against the wall should a genuine Marxist-Leninist revolution occur.
I've lived with genuinely working-class (and underclass) people and they have much more pressing concerns than vandalizing some old painting. Most of them don't even know who Van Gogh
is or where the nearest museum that has one of his paintings is (or indeed where
any real museums are). You can tell this is rich people playing a status jockeyng game with each other because it's art and only high-status people give a shit about some painting. Burn down the local Walmart to the point where it has to shut down, now that's
real shit and the masses
will take notice.
Of course you might face serious criminal charges for burning down a Walmart. Hell, you might even get
hurt doing it. But if this is truly an existential risk for the human race, isn't that a pittance to pay?
When they start actually, physically, staking their lives on the outcome I will take them seriously. If all you're gonna do is throw tomato soup on some painting (as a prole myself I really don't care about art) and sit in the street you can suck my dick.
