Also, this seems like a much, MUCH better PR move than throwing paint at masterpieces in fucking museums.
I don't know who thought that was something that would have moved the public opinion towards their cause.

Well it did seem to do a good job bringing attention to their cause. And, the worst damage incurred over the dozens of demonstrations was some minor frame damage. Imo it was kind of a brilliant scheme to get worldwide attention for the price of some tomato soup

I don't even know what you're talking about so apparently it didn't do that good of a job

It was these people. Go down to protests - art galleries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Stop_Oil

They were throwing paint into corporate offices and CEO's cars at the same time. The media chose to put the art vandalism on blast. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out the art vandalism was the idea of a corporate mole.

Not to sound like a dick, but you sort of sound like Matt Gaetz accusing Antifa of J6.

There is zero proof that these people are moles. I'd be hard pressed to find a white 20 something to act the part of a climate activist, on the behalf of the oil companies.
