Yeah, that fact is being left out by the media outlets who also happen to have oil companies as a major sponsor during their ad breaks. They’re also putting them on blast whenever they target a painting, but not when they target some CEO’s car.
The relevance is that oil companies can ruin the planet forever and nobody cares, while someone can temporarily take a painting off display and the entire world calls for their heads
Like, imagine if people reacted to oil spills with the same vitriol and hatred that they react to someone tossing some tomato juice on a pane of glass
I seem to recall a statistic about Russia’s monthly or yearly oil seepage from their pipelines being greater than the deepwater horizon spill. It’s terrifying to think about how much contamination there must be globally from similar nation-states or corporations who simply lack any concern. People should be losing their minds. Maybe if we had crucified the exxon incident waaaaay back when…
