This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.
Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Yeah, I don't condone throwing canned food at paintings in museums - but that's how I heard about them, so I guess it worked?
That's cause those are the instances that the media decided to put on blast. They were also dumping paint on CEO's cars and in corporate lobbies.
I love that. Protesting should be annoying for the highest levels of an organization, they dictate policy, they should get the backlash.
Understandable. But yeah, unfortunately, activists will likely need to continue doing more outrageous things as time goes on and these issues continue to be unaddressed.
And if it makes you feel better, those paintings are kept in protective frames, so the art itself has never been damaged to my knowledge. Even still, I'd take a few damaged works of art over an even more irreparably damaged climate.
The paintings will be destroyed soon enough in floods or hurricanes.
