    No, but they should be coherent and meaningful. These fools (or possibly goons for oil companies) who attack paintings are only making environmentalism look utterly stupid. They are openly mocked by everybody because they’re lashing out incoherently.

    They’re actively working against environmentalism. I really think they’re bad, selfish, narcissistic, and stupid people. They don’t care about the environment.

    There is absolutely no reason to think their ridiculous behavior could possibly help the environment.

      Read some books about how to do politics strategically and you’ll see why they do this

      Your anger works in their favor

        When you vaguely tell somebody to read more it’s because you have no actual argument.

        There is no connection to environmental issues. They are doing this to look cool to their friends.

          Well, if you want a suggestion: “Neither Vertical Nor Horizontal” by Rodrigo Nunes

          I’m just tired of repeating the same stuff all over the web, I also wrote an article in Italian about it 😄

              I can, I don’t want to do it cause inevitably it would open up to questions that in a non summary would be already answered.

              If you want to know more about complex topics don’t expect to learn them by reading hot takes on the internet.

            You haven’t earned my trust enough to suggest a book. I consider these strategies to be worse than ineffectual. I consider them counterproductive. And you haven’t described how they could be productive.

            I guess sharing your knowledge is just too much work. The environment just isn’t worth explaining things to people who are clearly making good faith conversation with you.

              Didn’t seem like it ^^

              Nah. It’s about a more effective use of the time to actually change the world. If you want answers, you got history and that book to read. There is no point in convincing you because, as I said, your anger works in favor of them.

              And before someone adds the “but you are still answering” argument, well I’m answering when I have 2 minutes to write this stuff that is not as high effort as a clear explanation that would still open up to more and more and more questions :)
