If a company were getting subsidies and using donations to a museum purely to get tax write-offs, maybe I could understand from that perspectives that a museum could be targeted for the purpose of justifying rationale, but instead, it becomes increasingly alienated from the perspective of what is considered necessary commodities, which affect all people’s dependency on cost subsistence.
If people are being funded to stage a show which panders to narcissistic entitlement (such as virtue signaling) then it only perpetuates the unequal and devoid understanding of the increased marginalization of society (such as using alternatives like electric cars which have a horrendous landfill footprint of toxic metals which are still not recyclable and pose much bigger issues such as the potential for fires when exposed to air moisture or are unsustainable for a person who probably lives in the middle of the country and still needs fuel to operate their tractors, or doesn’t use their car for more than one time out of a month to get food supply. The cost alone for replacement batteries is significantly more than having a vehicle accessible that can be started a year after being left in storage.
If an oil company was donating to a homeless shelter or a food pantry, would people be so keen to justify setting fire to the shelter, or causing irreversible damage, and does it justify the illusion that people are doing a service to society instead of drawing attention to the key issues (and surely those people that threw soup on a Van Gogh art only reflected on how the poorest and most marginalized “starving artist” was increasingly shit on even after death.)
If anything the kinds of acts by people like that (such as targeting the ‘Mona Lisa,’ ‘The Girl with the Pearl Earrings, et al.) are more suited for Planned Parenthood or using contraceptives, if they really want to talk about the environment.
