Just Stop Oil activists jailed for throwing soup over Van Gogh’s Sunflowers - eviltoast

This was the one soup-throwing which did any damage at all; in this case to the frame.

The penalty is appreciably worse than for minor violent attacks.

    Do you think the Civil Rights Movement succeeded because White Moderates “voted” in favor of it?

    It would not have succeeded otherwise, since they were the ones in power.

    Similarly, Just Stop Oil’s path to victory has absolutely fuck-all to do with popular “approval” of their tactics, but everything to do with becoming so disruptive that it becomes worth it to capitulate to their demands to make the protests stop.

    And look how well that’s working out: https://web.sas.upenn.edu/pcssm/commentary/public-disapproval-of-disruptive-climate-change-protests/

    Spamming the false notion that approval matters all over the thread is nothing but the reactionary pearl-clutching of a concern troll.

    Sounds like somebody is butthurt that they realize they don’t actually have a good defense other than nihilism. Refute my points, if you have a problem, but ad hominem attacks aren’t a valid justification why my points are invalid.

      What part of your study is measuring an irrelevant thing do you not fucking understand?
