Did you read my post when I said I don't care what else the protesters do, it's just that I think attacks on art are beyond the pale? |  | |  |

Ultimately, I suppose it depends on how much you value art. Many don't but art, like the climate, continues whereas humans are mortal. Another way of putting it is that the climate is a common heritage, but so is art in all its forms. [Post edited 15 Nov 2022 16:40]

Yes, it is evidence you’re wrong. |  |

So you think it is a good idea to carry on attacking works of art when 100 gallery directors worldwide regard such action as risky endangerment? [Post edited 15 Nov 2022 17:21]

The impression I got, and I may be wrong, is that it shocked middle-class art lovers, who are just the type of middle-class people who are more likely to support their cause. So i rather doubt it will be repeated again in this country. |  | |  |

Yeah but what you have here is a moved goalpost whilst choosing to not admit fault in the first instance. Very weak swerve by TWTD standards, not even hacked the meta level of backflips. |  |

What if the act of destroying some art was claimed, in itself, to be a work of (performance) art? In stopping that act one would be destroying a piece of art. |  | |  |

Given you seem so keen on attacks on works of art, why not put your money where your mouth is, and get yourself down to Christchurch Mansion and glue yourself to one of the paintings? It may not make the national headlines, but it will be featured on the front page of the East Anglian and so do the cause of climate change in Suffolk no end of good. [Post edited 16 Nov 2022 8:48]

I mean, at no point have I said I am “keen” to “attack art”, all I did was point out a glaring factual inconsistency with your objection. Informing people of this and curbing the spread of right wing disinfo has nothing to do with my view on the action itself. Keep moving those goal posts but you can’t take that own goal off the score board. |  |

I still don't understand any of the points you have made, but if you think I am spreading right wing disinfo, nothing could be further from the truth as I don't have a right-wing bone in me, having been a member of the Labour Party since 1985. Having seen your posts on other topics, it strikes me we have much in common politically, so it is not really clear to me why we are having this spat. Peace and love. [Post edited 16 Nov 2022 14:26]
