Probably unpopular opinion, but I think these types of protests are actually pretty effective. They make news headlines every time, and people talk about them, and they aren’t hurting anyone… I just feel like they could be more efficient at delivering their message. It seems like “They’re trying to destroy things!” shocks people more than “We’re destroying the entire world while we ignore climate change!”, and drawing attention to that, and how none of these works of art or historical relics really matter in the face of what’s coming if we don’t change course, would draw a more apt parallel between what they’re doing and the message they’re trying to convey.
