getting your computer toy showcase interrupted is literally exactly like an old lady getting stabbed, you absolute dork
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
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.
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.
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.

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

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'
