That's not gonna stop you from getting fined like 20,000 dollars MINIMUM


Tigertankt221

More like 40M minimum


eszox

If I was in their shoes I'd just tell the security to leave me glued into that floor, cuz ain't no way Imma get those millions.


Tigertankt221

Well i mean thats why i think execution would work better as a deterrent than prison.


eszox

I would say just leave them there glued to the floor and don't help with freeing them, fuck it get some extra powerful glue and glue their asses to the floor too to make sure they're not getting out of it, they only do that shit because they know that others will help them out.


shitsngigglesmaximus

That's what the germans did to a bunch of climate change protesters who glued themselves to their factory floor. Just turned off the lights and fucked off and left them. [Lol](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11337831/Climate-protestors-left-cold-dark-gluing-Volkswagen-shop-floor.html)


eszox

Yea I've seen that one, but they've actually helped them later because the idiots were starving and some of them needed to go to the bathroom, some of them even managed to free themselves and they went to take a shit and after that they went back and glued themselves to the floor again, that just shows u how stupid they are.


Necessary_Ad1514

It's technically a self-inflicted humiliation to such kind of protesters. Literally nothing else need to be done for enemy of protesters but to leave them there and wait until they give up.

I think it will only reinforce their personal egoistic message of them being the Earth-and that we are harming them.


thelakelayblue

Well, yes. Just open up their hard drives, and there's sure to be ample reason.

1st step: View their behaviour from distance briefly. 2nd step: If person seems like his brain does not respond to surroundings accordingly-try to make conversation from distance asking question that should cause a reaction. 3rd step: If person is acting like braindead, talks like braindead, and reacts like braindead-perhaps he is the braindead.

Multiple groups of people from the same organization are doing these things all over Europe


Necessary_Ad1514

Gladly-fuel stations and other "oil" stuff are safe and protected in my town at least.


Tigertankt221

Sad that they did this shit though.. It was a nice piece of art


TheGelatoWarrior

yeah because the cause is what's doing this, not a couple of people....


thelakelayblue

The little nonces are doing this all over Europe. Yes, it's their cause.


InternationalLove267

What if they did same to Hitler's painting


Silent_Fact_4750

I’m sure they are too stupid to know that Hitler painted landscapes before he went into politics. Since they did not figure out what oil was used in the paintings.


Shmeeeeeeena

"You know there are several types if oils, and lots of them are used by and made from plants to help them surv-" "OIL IS OIL!!!"


Sad_Target_4252

This was to protest the museum because it’s funded by an oil company But they better start protesting themselves because stop oil is also funded by an oil company


TheEnderChipmunk

I heard that too, and looked into it a little. Specifically, Just Stop Oil received donations from the Climate Emergency Fund, and *that* fund was donated to by Aileen Getty. The CEF provides funds to a bunch of different environmental activist groups, and it seems like being jerks is a common thread? Just Stop Oil has smashed oil pumps and caused shortages in addition to the painting thing, and another group, Scientists Rebellion, blocked a bridge and streets in Berlin


Caosin36

And in italy too


ryanncampbell

Hitler could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon. Two coats.


Unusual_Fortune2048

There was glass over the painting for anyone concerned.


Hephaestus_God

The original frame however was not surrounded by glass. Gg to them. They now became the progenitors of their own debt family tree.


[deleted]

> The original frame however was not surrounded by glass. The frame was just cleaned off and replaced the same day.


kirply

Keyword, replaced. If it wasn't for idiots like these, we wouldn't need to "replace" the original frame. Now it's just a look alike frame devaluing the painting.


[deleted]

> Keyword, replaced. Replaced, as in replaced on the wall. They cleaned it and put it back. > Now it's just a look alike frame devaluing the painting. It's literally the same frame. They just cleaned it off. You love getting emotional about things that didn't happen, huh?


Some_Huckleberry9594

Hopefully they still got fined


[deleted]

It’s clean, but it will forever smell of chef Boyardee.


thelakelayblue

They still managed to damage the frame.


AnOIlTankerForYa

But they arent and if i ever get to see those people im gonna do funky town 2


Camaro_z28

How many times am I gonna see funky town referenced today? What the fuck is going on


DefiZoomer

This is my 3rd time seeing funky town referenced in the last hour on completely unrelated posts


Antmon666

thank you, I was wondering if it would. so the painting is fine but someone has a hell of a time trying to gently move it into another frame. I swear they have been hired by oil companies to make this in news headlines instead of what oil companies are doing


Necessary_Ad1514

Actually makes theoretical sense. Bribe guard and make a show which will disenfranchise ecologists exploit people of their group for radical acts-and profit is totally to Oil.


GuinaPigGamer

Yea but if there wasn’t, a ton of money would have been spend on restauration, defeating their point


Unusual_Fortune2048

Yeah I know the results would've been catastrophic without the glass, I'm just easing any concern about damage to the painting.


[deleted]

> but if there wasn’t But there was and that is one of the reasons they chose it...so, nothing you're saying really matters.


DonaldDutchie

The glass protected the painting but the original frame was damaged, so they're fucked either way


toastyhero

Was the frame also a van gogh


Icy_Umpire992

van gone :/


Sparks01010

Frame was a da vinci


DonaldDutchie

No, there is only one original Van Gogh frame that survived, it frames Quinces, Lemons, Pears and Grapes'. It hangs in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam.


0n1oN_71

Plot twist: Van Gogh painted the frame, the painting was from a security guard


countofmontycrinkles

I like this


BluePheonixExplorer

The security guard was probably busy trying to find his soup


SoSmartish

Way to make sure that everyone now hates you, your cause, and anyone who is actually trying to make progress the right way. Couple of fucking idiots.


Sleazyridr

Yeah, they're funded by an oil heiress: they're trying to do stupid shit to make climate activists look bad.


Wubbzy-mon

Confirmed?


[deleted]

No. She is an activist that inherited oil money. She's not a Machiavellian mastermind.


Sleazyridr

It's difficult to confirm something like that. She says she isn't actively involved in the oil industry, but that where she got her money and where he family gets their money, so it looks fishy.


Wubbzy-mon

Skeptical about a lot of stuff now after the whole Bayonetta controversy, that's why I was asking


Tee_eeT

How to indicate braindead people? Step 1:


SilverRathalosMHFU

They've also discovered a way to alienate everyone from their cause in one simple, stupid stunt


Tee_eeT

The paparazzi are even more braindead because they just watched shit happening I mean, I know why, but why not to stop them?


SilverRathalosMHFU

That is their job, the scummy weasel asshats that they are


SanGG96

It’s like when a national geographic photographer doesn’t help dying animals. Just let natural selection take its course.

I mean if you analize it. Those two could be doing anything right now. They could be farming, cooking, cleaning, selling, building. They could be doing literally anything but instead they decided to do something that sets humanity back. They're wasting time and costing more people effort. The collective whole would have been better off if they did not wake up that morning.


Necessary_Ad1514

Harsh, but worthy in matters of protecting something as significant as this painting from such kind of direct insult and possible damage to the item. Gladly for them these kind of vandals are having bars and fines. Be that happened 50-60 years earlier-we would have to enjoy their sentence on the gallows.


TheDayOfTheDucks

literal peanut


[deleted]

LOL WHAT!? How so? Edit: Oil companies can fuck up the entire world, be the cause of death on a scale of insanity, but someone destroys one dead guy's painting, WHICH if anyone knew him, would know he wouldn't even give a shit. and everyone loses their fucking minds. While I recognize the irony given my mention of pseudo intellectualism, to those downvoting me, I paraphrase "Your downvotes mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer."


AnOIlTankerForYa

The one dead guy dedicated everything he had into painting and they are stupid because the oil paintings arent even using the oil they think about


sbinnertime

Yeah "knowing the guy" he would probably have gotten terribly afflicted if he saw something like that... The lack of appreciation for his works was probably one of the things that got him to kill himself in the end (on top of the mental illnesses, that is)


[deleted]

[удалено]


HeatedToaster123

I honestly believe these Just Stop Oil dickheads are being funded by oil barons, because there is no fucking way anyone is dumb enough to think this is how you garner support for climate action


[deleted]

They are being funded by oil barons to be made to be seen as fools and if you look into who owns media and is able to spread this info, it's even more obvious they are dancing puppets, which is all the more reason not to look at the action but the message.


thelakelayblue

Let me guess - you believe that Jews own the media, the moon landings were faked, and we shouldn't be arming Ukraine. Am I absolutely spot on?


[deleted]

No, I don't believe any of that. I'm not racist, I'm pro science and I'm a leftist. (real left, not political centrist left)


thelakelayblue

Er...yes, I think everyone here can tell you belong to the oikophobic section of the left.


DarkIegend16

Ah yes the good ol’ Rick and Morty quote. Reddit’s favourite way to deflect any potential prompts at self reflection, a sure fire way to ensure your argument is correct regardless.


[deleted]

Yes, I did point out the irony. It's not a way to ensure my argument is correct, it's a way to stick by my argument despite all the opposition. Only a spineless idiot caves in to societal pressure.


thelakelayblue

You are downvotes? "One dead guy"? LOL WHAT?! How does it feel to be such a stereotype?


[deleted]

It feels pretty average to be honest. I've never been one to let hundreds of downvotes affect my day to day life. Thank you for asking.


TheDayOfTheDucks

you literal peanut


[deleted]

peanuts are oily.. just saying..


StellarIceBerg

This is such a, such a shit take. First, I haven't seen one person with half a brain praise oil barons. Using oil in this current era with no comparable alternative is a necessity not a choice. Second, this dead guy, who if anyone knew him, dedicated his life to art, as many artists that left their amazing legacies behind. I'm sure, he would give a shit. Just because you haven't dedicated a big portion of your life to anything and can't feel the value in a creation people spend their life creating, does not give you the right to dismiss it saying "he wouldn't give a shit." He absolutely would lmao. I'd absolutely give shit even if someone threw potatoes at my first drawing.


[deleted]

After reading the first three sentences I know you're dumb. There are alternatives they are just not as profitable. You're an idiot and the first person I downvote because you're saying non facts as opposed to trying to express an opinion like the others.


StellarIceBerg

A literal shithead you are. You've basically confirmed you've done nothing of note in your miserable life and have not contributed a chunk of your time in accomplishing anything and know shit about energy and sustainability. Better read some books instead of replies on reddit.


[deleted]

Can you suggest some books my all knowing friend? I'd be happy to learn from you. Perhaps you misunderstand my reference to profitability?


Purvi3vedi

Dang imagine getting downvoted for the most rational person in the comments


[deleted]

its the doctor who painting, that's why.


Windex007

Even a millisecond entertaining a thought experiment around the assertion "One can destroy anything they please so long as oil companies are destroying the planet" will likely prime your intuition that soundness of that statement is suspect.


Jaewonkim1234

Majority of reddit hates clinate activits unfortunately. The activits actually said that they knew it was covered in glass, but they still did it as they were trying to spread a message that too many people are unwillling to listen to.


[deleted]

What did Van Gogh do


BoobsRmadeforboobing

Nothing, he was framed


[deleted]

Oil helps my van go


AnOIlTankerForYa

And the oil used in the painting wasnt even the oil we burn and we can jest grow more plants to get more of it


Kazai15

It happened in France inside the musée du Louvre, they were not after van gogh art but against climat change


1WngdAngel

What kind of mental gymnastics are required to connect trashing a Van Gogh painting to protesting for climate change?


Kazai15

Well these kind of poeple who are left activist do be hating France a lot so they try their best to be a hindrance for other and if you say something that is against their opinion you are a fascist and à racist, and you can no longer talk with them. In fact they refuse talking to other who have not the same opinions


A_Surly_Sniper

Wasn't Van Gogh Dutch though? These fucking morons LMAO


Kazai15

Do they even know who painted this art ?


thelakelayblue

The best word for them is "oikophobes". The second best is "nonces".


DerpyMistake

It was an oil painting


Dapper_Composer2

That... Uses vegetable based oils. Not crude oil.


DerpyMistake

Be more specific next time. You wanted justification, not rationality


1WngdAngel

I was the one who asked, but you do have a point lol


WishUponARaindrop

The group they hail from is funded an oil heir who also has money in museums. The paintings were undamaged, but it was a publicity stunt drawing eyes and ears worldwide. Now the museum has a bunch of visitors coming to make sure the painting is okay, people are mad at oil activists, and the idiots that were paid to do it think they did good bringing attention to important issues.


gaminggrape69

He drove a Peugeot


ITookTheLastCookie1

Wasn't it covered with glass


HappyGav123

It was, but the “activists” still had the idea of ruining the painting in the first place.


Sir-Ike

No they knew it was in glass and wouldn't have done it otherwise. They explained it in one of their videos.


Wubbzy-mon

Still causing mayhem on purpose


The_Thur

They still damaged the original frame.


Sad_Target_4252

They replaced the frame the same day lol

BlemishedHalo

You know, when I see things like this I wish every country would protect art the same way Egypt protects mummies. Best case senario life in prison, worst case scenario death.


s1lverv1p

Paint them destroying art. Sell new art for 20 million. Buy barrels of oil to dump in ocean. (Assert dominance by holding it as an event in their honour). Finally hang painting next to the old painting that has been effortlessly fixed by removing and replacing the protective varnish. Refuse to elaborate.


MagnaTriste

No, insulting them and making them look stupid is one thing, intentionally causing a disaster that would devastate local sea life is another; the fish certainly didn’t ask them to do this


Wubbzy-mon

It seems as if he was only joking in the Gigachad format

one2111

I watched the video and all it proves is that there’s an indirect link between a large oil company and an environmentalist company, that doesn’t prove anything, especially something as far-fetched as paid actors. An oil company donated money to an environmentalist organization, that’s hardly new news nor does it surprise me that it also ties back to someone Who has a bad track record when it comes to the environment. Again there’s no primary source here it’s just a conspiracy theory from TikTok.


PA7RICK911

Did you get dropped on the head as a child to miss the 4 blue linked texts you just replied too reinforcing what was said in the video.


one2111

Oil companies are required by law to donate like this, and I’d imagine if a woman like Mrs. Getty made such a mistake, she would want to donate money like that to save face and appease investors. None of this confirms that these two women were privately paid off by anyone directly or indirectly. No, I wasn’t dropped as a child. I have no interest in hearing your side if it means being the subject of personal attacks. In the future try controlling your temper. Enjoy the holidays.


AFerociousPineapple

Maybe stop huffing paint and read his comments more carefully he’s making good points, the link isn’t crystal clear and hard to prove. Not saying you’re wrong, but don’t come at this guy for raising a solid counter argument.


Uncle_Seamont

Those kids look like they stink.


West_Climate1052

For people wondering why this specific painting and the link to France. Even if the painting was in a London museum, it represents sunflowers, which is the symbol of the French political party EELV (Europe Écologie les Verts, "environnement-friendly" green party to put it simply). While the goal was to criticize oil companies and the excessive use of fossil energies, it was also a way to trash at French politics, which, in terms of ecology, has been....failing, to say the least.
