I feel like a van Gogh painting was a poorly picked target but also think van Gogh himself would approve.
I can’t judge anyone for throwing a hissy fit at th current state of affairs. Everything’s fucked and no one with any power gives a shit.
Idc if it doesn’t solve anything, bet it was a great release for those two watching their world slowly die.
This has op written all over it
Death to America
In other news, now that they have discovered that London’s National Gallery has oil paintings, the US is preparing to invade.
Ah yes, the world’s biggest user and pusher of the mass usage of fossil fuels, checks notes… 19th century oil painters?
I am suspicious of any form of praxis that would 100% lead to the arrest of the doers outside of purposefully locking/blocking something. Doing crime and getting away with it is itself a form of praxis against cops because it demonstrates the incompetence of pigs. Getting away with crime also means the pigs don’t have a police record of you, meaning you can do crime another day.
This is honestly taking the worst parts of adventurism (individualist action, merely cathartic with no long term planning, alienating towards average people) and aboveground action (known to cops, restrained by the law, target for reactionary vigilantes). I feel sorry for these kids because in their bid to “get the message out,” their faces are now known by every single reactionary and are seen as nothing more than senseless vandals by broader society.
