Vermeer’s Girl with a Pearl Earring back on display after being attacked by climate activists.

I’m as concerned about climate change as Al Gore, but attacking great works of art just makes me hate climate activists.

@evamarie I believe the group behind these "protests" is founded by an oil heiress, which explains why they seem designed to make people resentful towards the cause.

@evamarie
I am disgusted by people "raise awareness" by attacking works of art or otherwise destroying things which have nothing to do with the thing they are protesting.

@voltronic @evamarie

thought they attacked it cuz it's an oil painting...or did I read too much into that?

@opie
If that's the case, then that's dumber because oil paints for artwork typically use linseed oil or other plant oils.

@evamarie

@opie @voltronic @evamarie that's what I gathered but like, I don't think oil based paints are made with fossil fuels.

These people just look stupid as hell.

@evamarie
Same. Activism that’s more about getting press than the actual message is just bad activism.
