Comment on LibLeft painting Venice with the funny colors

Whatever they do it seems to piss people off. And the decades of small scale protests prior to this have gone completely ignored.

Meanwhile a literal oil sheik presides over the latest climate talks and you hear nothing beyond “some people feel there may be a conflict of interest”

I feel your rage is sorely misdirected.

maybe their tactics should impact people with power

Two wrongs doesn’t make one right: I can be critic of both Ultima Generazione (Last Generation) activists as well as the governments that fail to implement sensible climate policies.

I have always voted for pro-nuclear parties, don’t own a car, walk for any distance shorter than 3km within my city and take the bus / tram otherwise. Within my city I vote for candidates that push for reductions of car infrastructure and improvement to public parks and transit. I like to think I’m on the right side in this battle.

Still, I don’t think anything justifies activists who damage art just to make their voices heard. Right battle, wrong strategy.

  I won’t say I think these are the best tactics but “two wrongs”… One side is causing inconvenience while the other is actively making the planet unliveable. They’re tactics of desperation.
