Visitors at Louvre look on in shock as Leonardo da Vinci masterpiece attacked by environmental protesters

Two environmental protesters have hurled soup on to the Mona Lisa at the Louvre in Paris, calling for “healthy and sustainable food”. The painting, which was behind bulletproof glass, appeared to be undamaged.

Gallery visitors looked on in shock as two women threw the yellow-coloured soup before climbing under the barrier in front of the work and flanking the splattered painting, their right hands held up in a salute-like gesture.

One of the two activists removed her jacket to reveal a white T-shirt bearing the slogan of the environmental activist group Riposte Alimentaire (Food Response) in black letters.

Very well. Show me the legislation it will change and tell me when it will happen. It did work right?

I didn’t make that argument. I said

They did this to draw attention to a cause. It worked.

but thanks for the straw man argument and moving the goal posts.

if it didn’t work, then why are you still here whining about it?

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Ah thanks for admitting the goal was attention, not actual change. Say no more, I get it now. They needed some validation and they got it.

Hey I am a parent I get it. Except you know my kids are pretty young not grown ass adults.

Ah thanks for admitting the goal was attention,

did you really not understand that from the start? you didn’t catch me is some “gotcha”— people here have been trying to explain this to you for hours because you fail to comprehend this. The point is to draw attention their cause, as I and many others here keep trying to tell you, lmao.

What you should also understand, as a parent, is how annoying it is when you explain something simple, and the kid just keeps asking “why? why? why?” even though you explained it several times.

you’re that kid who just doesn’t get it.

You don't have to double down on your admission. We all get it. Your buddies wanted to get into the news and they got it. Nothing will change other than security theater. Whatever cause they stood for will be forgotten.

You don’t have to double down on your admission.

nobody admitted anything. it’s in the article.

Your buddies

oh, so your psychic power are telling you that we’re “buddies” now? fascinating

Your buddies wanted to get into the news and they got it.

so, you admit that it worked.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Yes I admit they got on the news mind-reader. Nothing will change, no one even knows why they did it, but your buddies effectively managed to accomplish the goal of throwing a tantrum.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

lmao, look how mad they made you

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

You mean not at all? Not very good at mind reading.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

It’s clear you’re not very good at mind reading. Because nobody is.
