For those wondering about the painting, it was not destroyed. The painting is protected by glass for this very reason.

Wasting food and talking about people starving ? Really the most mentally stable person i've seen.

Imagine being a person who was depressed, lonely, and felt unloved. A person who could express themselves with their art and personal work, That was who Vincent Van Gogh was. We keep these paintings because it tells the story about artists like him. And to see a bunch of punks do something so out of line to his work is heartbreaking.

Can't I be in favor of protecting art and the earth simultaneously?

Art is to console those who are broken by life.

After throwing the soup, their shaking hands started cracking those weird capsules open into their palms and for a moment I was like “are they about to take cyanide pills over this?”

“Can’t even afford to heat a tin of soup” didn’t u just waste one so that one a starved family won’t have 🤦‍♂️

The dye in her hair caused more harm to the environment than a painting ever will. There are more chemicals in her hair color than the painting.

"what is worth more, art or life?"
Guy at the back: "art."
I give my respect for that guy

I guess they heard it was an OIL painting...

Because of her efforts, the museum will hire more security, install more cameras, and make it harder for people to get into the museum. This will take more electricity, use more gas and oil for the newly hired security to come in every day, and make museums more expensive for people. What a success.
