They didn't destroy any heritage. The paintings were behind glass. The whole thing was symbolic.

At some point they’re going to escalate to hammers and knives.

Okay, then at some point we can get be more concerned about the protest than about the potentially cataclysmic thing they're protesting.

There’s things they could do like not procreate and travel on planes if they wanted to have a bigger impact than what they did.

Maybe this will turn out to be ineffective, but not staging public protest will definitely be ineffective.

Fair point I missed. Thank you.

The symbolism's still shit though.
