Stopping the “Stop Oil” Numbskulls

To publicize their idiotic cause of “no more oil production,” protestors have been targeting art treasures in museums in Europe almost non-stop since the beginning of this year.

At the start, their strategy was to glue themselves to the frames of well-known paintings. This got them the press coverage they were looking for. But after doing it a half-dozen times, they found that they were losing their audience. So, they tried to keep up the momentum by gluing themselves to ever more famous works. And when that didn’t work, they did the only other thing they could think of. They began assaulting the art. First, by throwing non-staining liquids at the masterpieces. Then by upping it to maple syrup, which caused temporary damage. And then by upping it again to diesel fuel and oil, which did serious damage.

The museums did their best to respond to the attacks with a degree of Woke sympathy. (Museums, if you don’t know, are among the most Woke institutions in the world.) They expressed dismay at the acts, but support for the cause.

The last such attack happened in early November when three young people from Finland, Denmark, and Germany attempted to glue themselves to Edvard Munch’s The Scream at the National Museum of Norway. “The glue didn’t stick this time. But we won’t give in until the government meets our demands,” the activist group posted on Twitter.

The Norwegian museum directors couldn’t let this one go with a little slap on the wrists. It was, after all, The Scream! The protestors were arrested.
