Just Stop Oil activists throw soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers after fellow protesters jailed

Three individuals targeted National Gallery paintings an hour after Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland were jailed for similar attack in 2022

This was the one soup-throwing which did any damage at all; in this case to the frame.

The penalty is appreciably worse than for minor violent attacks.

      To do what, exactly? Become activist? Because regular people aren’t going to see this and go, “Hmm, yes. I think I’d like to go pour gasoline on the Constitution.”

      If that’s their plan, it seems to me they’re effectively holding regular people hostage, while the billionaires causing the problems roam free and careless. “We’re gonna keep breaking shit until you all do what we want!”

      Regular people’s power comes from voting and organizing, but you have to convince not just the activists like yourself but the moderates and centrists that your cause is worthy of giving up their status quo.
