Climate activists throw flour onto Warhol-painted BMW

Protesters took their angst out on an Andy Warhol piece of art in Milan, Italy, on Friday by throwing flour on a sports car painted by the pop artist in 1979.

The event is just another in the trend being set by Generation Z climate-change activists targeting artwork in galleries and vandalizing them with food or other means.

**SNIP**

This time, Reuters reported, members of the group Ultima Generazione, or Last Generation, covered Warhol's the BMW Art Car with flour to look like it was covered in snow.

According to Ultima Generazione’s website, the group conducts nonviolent civil disobedience actions to demand urgent and concrete actions against the ecoclimate collapse.

Climate talks were underway in Egypt when the group defaced the sports car.

This is not “civil disobedience” by any definition. It is violence, and stupidly destructive violence at that.

They should read HD Thoreau's Civil Disobedience

https://xroads.virginia.edu/~Hyper2/thoreau/civil.html

Or MK Gandhi's autobiography

They wouldn't know real civil disobedience if it refused to bite them in the a@@.

“Lock them up and fine them for the damages.”

That won’t deter them,

how about chaining them down, and let people defecate on them for a week and film it and post it on tik tok or whatever it is

basement boy billy-girl won’t do nonsense like that if he/she knows what’ll happen to him!

two, three, or just one climate protester is all it takes to get max FakeNewsMSM promotion. always written in such a way it encourages others to join in the fun. little risk of any serious charges.

but protest by the hundreds of thousands every day since election day, all over Brazil, and it’s crickets from the FakeNewsMSM.

bury the MSM.

This is simply infantile attention-seeking.

I once saw flour spilled on a Campbell’s soup can in the store. Must have been some kind of protest.

They should be dipped in boiling oil... That’ll shut their climate clap traps up.

They like to throw food on things? How about dousing them in honey and introducing them to some ants? Or maybe fill their pockets with freshly-ground hamburger, then over the rail to the sharks.

But then again, for all we know, they may have been throwing crap on a Jackson Pollock for decades.

The “arts” - the left supposedly owns that playground of culture. Climate hoaxers are mostly leftists. Appears the left is attacking them selves, a different kind of artistic expression of subtle political self-mutilation? How ingenious! Leftist media is confused at the moment.

Stripping naked and standing in the public square shouting about climate hoax apparently has run its course. Would have been nice to see a patron grab the bag of flour and punch one of them in the mouth at the same time.
