That’s what I don’t get.
The owner of the yacht doesn’t give a shit. It’s beneath them.
Those activists just made a headache for the working class crew who run the yacht.
Good work sticking it to the man’s working class employees! /S
They got their message on international news, and they did it targeting the super wealthy instead of blocking traffic or otherwise hindering innocent people. Frankly I don’t care if the crew has a ‘headache’ being paid to clean up some biodegradable paint, they’re just being paid for one task instead of another. What actual harm of any kind has this done? The benefit might be small but it’s nonzero unlike what most of us are doing.

They’re creating jobs by fucking up the yacht aren’t they?
Or is it only billionaires that “create jobs” when they fuck up the entire world?
Because targeted vandalism is easier and more satisfying to animalistic urges than the long work of organizing political backing, running for office, enacting societal change
Mate people have been trying all that since the 70s and it didn’t achieve much
