I feel like a van Gogh painting was a poorly picked target but also think van Gogh himself would approve.
If it is an op (if), I wonder if the soup kids even realized it. Like how far down does the meta-op go? Where is the line between op and misplaced but sincere action?

My theory is the kids were persuaded to do it by higher ups. I have talked to someone who’s roommate was in Red Guards and they said basically the “leaders” would make all the 18 year olds that just joined do their weird stunts. Also they would be shamed if they didn’t do any praxis that day.
