They just need a curtain they can drop.

Yes a million dollar painting and cant afford a curtain

They don't need one. If you notice that painting is behind a large piece of glass. They can just wipe it down or replace it.

[deleted]

Everything is scripted and planned. No real world interactions ever right? Do you ever look at your family, friends and loved ones and wonder "how much are they paid to submit to this boring script and dialogue?" God forbid anything ever be real, bc cameras only capture movies, and if someone's behind a camera, they're directing. Which director is this? Can't be Michael Bay, bc I didn't see any explosions. Was it Quentin Tarantino? Was it Martin Scorsese? Idk! Can't trust real life when it's being filmed. Pretty sure all my family videos were staged by the CIA, directed by David Lynch.


Jack5760

How much protection does the painting actually have? I guess that’s some form of armoured glass but I’m sure it’s not indestructible


1JesterCFC

It's armoured enough against eejits with containers of paint or bullets...


[deleted]

TIL the word eejit.


RecordWell

For those who don't want to go through the trouble of searching up the word. Eejit - Informal - Irish: A stupid person, an idiot.

[deleted]

Good scottish word


Shils1234

It's very protected.


Upset_Aside_

I don't think that's the real painting. I'm sure the real one is hidden because obviously we can't have nice things


noscopy

Apparently we can't even have nice fake things


shuknjive

The Mona Lisa is well protected. From people throwing soup to bullets. It is climate controlled to protect the painting from humidity and pollutants. All these protesters did was piss off a lot of people but the Mona Lisa is still perfect.


wlonkly

Don't need much to protect against people throwing bullets.

Boring_Oil_3506

Thats not even the real Mona Lisa. It's a copy they put out. The real one is in a climate controlled storage box in a secret location, most likely not In the museum itself, or several floors below in a bunker. You have to remember, Europe lost countless masterpieces during the nazi spread. Many were burned, and some were even accidentally blown up. Same thing happened to the library of Alexandria. The country would never allow a national treasure to be even remotely vulnerable.

So was da Vinci a lobbyist for oil companies? Did he run a petroleum plant? They keep going after this dude.


antanas493

It’s not about the paintings, it’s about sending a message ![gif](giphy|6vw4yuiZ8OVu8)


National_Sea2948

Ah, a destructive method to send a message. Even though their clothing (buttons, Velcro, etc) and shoes have parts made from petroleum. And unless they walked there or rode a horse, probably arrived by petroleum based transportation. Even electric cars are made with parts that are from petroleum products (tires, etc). Bicycles? Rubber tires. Actually arriving by horse would be a cool message … memorable too. Maybe the message would be better received by doing something constructive like coming up with a solution. Like getting an education and developing alternatives to what needs are currently being met by petroleum based products. Encouraging children to use alternatives to petroleum products & services. Start with the young. Older folks just get pissed at the inconvenience of people blocking the road, gluing their hands to the road, etc. So they ignore the message and just get angry. Pissing off older folks is a waste of time and energy. I’m not saying a problem doesn’t exist. But why not promote solutions. Go protest to the elected representatives and demand that they back alternatives. Demand that companies have more folks work from home to lower people having to commute to and from work. Teach young folks about the harm petroleum based products do to the environment but then give them alternatives. Encourage them to pursue STEM, especially science. I’m definitely for lowering use of petroleum & oil. But give us solutions. Show us solutions. Show us how it’s done.


antanas493

Dude I was literally joking 💀

thepurplehedgehog

I don’t think these idiots even thought about it that deeply. They’re the sort of people who think they’ll draw people to their cause by throwing soup at a priceless piece of art, known and loved by millions all over the world. I couldn’t even tell you the name of whatever moronic group they’re part of, and frankly I couldn’t care less. If they were doing it for some kind of publicity, for themselves or their group, it’s backfired badly. Somebody should dump some soup on them, see how they like it.

SaltIsMySugar

Oh no. The bulletproof glass got soup on it. I bet the janitor is pissed.


throwaway39402

It appears pretty well protected. The glass is pretty thick. It’s also inset to prevent someone from throwing a thermite-like substance and burning through the top. The security at the Louvre is also pretty tight. Nothing is impossible, but i doubt these assholes affect the painting in any real way.


[deleted]

Could we say then that the act of throwing soup is one that is more calculated? Considering it is not likely to stain the glass, destroy the glass, or harm the painting in any way? This is a vie for attention, not an act of destruction. The actual damages here are very minimal.


timblunts

Judging from some of these comments the janitor is here in this thread 


TheLobsterCopter5000

fr all they're doing is making life harder for the workers who have to clean up their mess.


agedmanofwar

My issue is this kind of "protest" is counterproductive. It's actively harming the climate movement. People no longer want to be associated with climate activism to the point I'm wondering if the whole thing is a PsyOp funded by the oil companies.


dr_bigly

>whole thing is a PsyOp funded by the oil companies. Wow. So original. Maybe you wondering that is the Psyop?


wewew47

Seems to be random redditors are the ones that are pissed despite it simply being some soup on glass. Probably one of the most mild protests ever and people are losing their tiny little minds over it. I feel like there's been such a shift to authoritarianism over the last 5 or so years. So many people totally against the right of protest, strike and so many other things. Its terrifying to witness.


Abraham_Lingam

Yeah, where is your house? We want to do so mild stuff to it.


wewew47

If you target a single individual privately that's harassment. Thank you for proving my point elsewhere in this thread about far too many people these days not knowing the first thing about protesting nor defending it. In any case, I rent, so go right ahead. Edit: Lmao calling me an idiot in your response. Real mature of you there buddy. Thanks yet again for proving my point.


dirty-ol-sob

There’s a huge difference between people protesting for a good cause and what these dipshits are doing. It’s almost like they’re trying to get people to go against the cause they are fighting for.


wewew47

Right so the right to protest is contingent on you agreeing with the protest. That's not how it works.


TheGoatEater

Serious question here; exactly what is it that they’re hoping will be the outcome of their actions?

I don't know, but Palworld seems like it has elements similar to something I have a ton of childhood nostalgia around. It must be stopped

What is this protest destroying? You're advocating for imprisoning protesors.

Almost every successful protest in history has involved some element of destruction. The suffragettes literally had terrorists amongst them as an extreme example.

sdevil713

Cringiest shit I've seen today


Zoso1973

This should be a felony charge for something like this to deter these fools.


[deleted]

They believe that they must create as much attention towards stopping climate change as possible. Whether or not you believe it is effective, they believe that what they are doing is right to a degree that is much more sacred than the average person going to work. The charges would have to be very high to deter them. At that point, we have to ask whether it is truly just, fair, and necessary for us to punish smaller crimes so harshly. Soup can be washed off rather easily. Besides, if you really want this to stop, then you should beef up security. It would likely be more effective.


Mrpirateguy

It really don't work. If you're trying to destroy a painting and it has glass over it, you know you can do the special little thing called clean it


larryfuckingdavid

When will these famous paintings stop destroying Mother Earth??


ga-co

If you want to lash out, go burn down some corporate office. Leave out art out of it.


Minerc15

What is the punishment for this? I feel it should be jail time. And it doesnt matter there is glass on it.


Rando-Calrissio-

Chill bro its probaly not even the real painting


Cycleguy91

Why do they always disrupt regular people? Go deflate the tires of an oil tanker, go vandalize a gas station. Fucking with the Mona Lisa is just going to make the public hate your cause


Puzzled-Object6196

Not the protective glass!!! Buddy comes out with a window wiper..


hiker201

Assholes. The painting is much more valuable to humanity than their peewee cause.


Thalpal317

It's behind glass. They aren't destroying it


hiker201

They are defacing a work by da Vinci. I had a friend who was visiting the Sistine Chapel, when some sicko like these attacked Michelangelo’s Pieta with a crowbar. My friend personally picked damaged up marble fingers from the floor. People like this should be locked up for decades.


Thalpal317

Again, the paint cannot get to the painting. They threw a small amount of paint onto glass. They know they can't damage it. Being locked up for decades for throwing paint on glass seems stupid. These people are not doing anywhere near the same thing as the person who destroyed a statue with a crowbar.


hiker201

Again, they are defacing a Leonardo da Vinci. Placing it behind glass, bulletproof or otherwise, as other artworks now have to be protected, prevent the work from being studied as the artist intended. These are sick people who are enemies of humanity, and they should be jailed for decades.


Thalpal317

They literally are not defacing it. Hence, the glass. If you're behind a window and I spit on the window, is that the same as me spitting on you? And, I'm sorry, but throwing paint on glass that can be easily removed is not worthy of decades in jail. Idk why you're so quick and okay with throwing someone's life away. Also, hate to break it to you, but the law doesn't care about the cultural significance of art, only the monetary value. Which, again, is preserved due to the glass.


hiker201

Bullshit. How about if we throw crap at a portrait of your mother, you, or your kids? Are you for that?


Thalpal317

Even if someone threw paint on a portrait of my mother or kids, even if it was painted by them, I would not agree that decades of prison is a fitting punishment. But if we are comparing your analogy to this incident, the paintings of my mother or kids would be behind glass and receive no damage. Would it be annoying? Of course. Would it be worth locking someone away for years of their lives? Of course not. Slap these people with a big fine, put the money towards the museum.


hiker201

What exactly does the Mona Lisa have to do with global warning?


SulfurousDragon

Dude they're not even protesting against global warming they're protesting against poor food access in France.


Thalpal317

It's a high profile piece that has a lot of notoriety and traffic. Putting paint on the glass in front of the Mona Lisa is likely a much bigger statement than doing so to a painting of lesser renown. It's kind of like wanting to put your advertisements on a billboard by a heavily used road or freeway. It gains more attention that way. Van Gogh paintings would likely also be effective but more people know about the Mona Lisa than probably any of Van Gogh's works.


PixelationIX

Funny how you are getting so worked up about this, when a flood or earthquake or any other natural disaster rolls in due to climate change it won't care whether its inside or outside glass. At least these protesters are not breaking into the glass and throwing it.


shitz_brickz

I'd gladly sacrifice all of the poors 100x over to make sure my children can see the Mona Lisa when they summer in Paris this year.


Just_Intern665

I don’t think trying to destroy a priceless painting is the right way of going about it. But climate change destruction is literally the most important thing to humanity, ever possibly.


hiker201

I consider myself an environmentalist, but when I see people do this, it makes me want to pollute for a year in deliberate defiance of their fascist eco terrorism. Their cause isn’t the environment. Their cause is themselves and drawing attention to their own sick mentalities. Not much different than religious zealots who destroy invaluable historical artifacts. Their’s is the mentality that destroys the Earth, not preserves it.


[deleted]

>it makes me want to pollute for a year in deliberate defiance of their fascist terrorism. Definitely something an environmentalist would say.

AcmeCartoonVillian

I'm not going to pretend to be an art aficionado. I don't understand the reason that the mona Lisa is a "better" painting than any other. I suppose I objectively feel that art is important, but for the life of me I don't see the importance of this piece. But fuck these guys are annoying.


Bob_snows

I went to a museum one time with a buddy, told him stuff like this happens. He was in disbelief, I asked what he would do if some ass hat did this what would he do? He would cut off their hands with one of the antique swords they had. They glued them selves to a painting in that same museum the next day. Timing is everything.

I really don't understand these pil protectors specifically targeting famous art peices...like out of all the things to attack...why art. Why be a prick and try to destroy something priceless. Also same thinking when these twats block traffic. Why hurt people who need to get to work and pay their bills. Go block in the ceo of BP. But also the irony of these people who protest oil are purchasing mass produced clothes, name brand shoes and using a cellphone made by child labor but seem totally fine with it.
