The gallery still has to be closed, has to dedicate cleaners, invest into security measures etc. Vandalism can be as simple as spitting on the street. But that's not my point, in general.

My point is why mess with a place what has nothing to do with climate change, and not mess with places that absolutely do have something to do with it?

Why do you assume it's less shock value? I would argue the opposite

Well I agree with the problem, but I don't believe attacking art galleries is a solut. Why not spray paint a real estate firm?

You created your own argument here though, right? I can be an advocate for any of one million serious problems that our societies have. Should everyone go destroy art galleries? Housing crisis = art destruction? Unliveable minimal wage = art destruction? Car centric societies = art destruction? Local store increased prices = art destruction? You have to agree that at a certain point this becomes indistinguishable from vandalism.

At what level then is this threshold? Or do you propose a hierarchy of ideas, which are suitable to protest in an art gallery, versus those that aren't?

Politically yes, but it's well known his writing stayed pretty racist (even the later stuff). There's this funny trope that people with a Germanic last name are rarely evil in this writing, but Italian, Slavic etc last names are often depicted as bad people.

Why are people suddenly defending a Qatari-slaver owned news outlet? Weren't people like 2 years ago boycotting a Qatar football cup? But now, suddenly, Qatar is reputable?

Well luckily they didn't win this time, narrowly but SPD won.

Don't even try. These people are deluded. There's no way for Israel to do anything. Israel could probably be invaded, its inhabitants massacred and they would still chant bullshit about that somehow being okay. How has so much of the left turned to unconditionally support the nazi-inspired muslim brotherhood is beyond me.

Epic when you ask any Israel critic to say something legit about it they will just insult you and tell you to end yourself :D great discussion, you sure showed me on the internet by using all those swearwords

That's a horrible statement to make about a nation that seen thousands of years of genocides, pogroms, discrimination and displacement. You're just saying let's continue with that.

You have to understand that Israel is there and will be there, and you need to work from there to find a solution which also accommodates Palestine ( as an independent country ). There is no future for Palestine, however, where Iran-funded terrorist organisations are at its helm.
