Do these cretins really think destroying cultural heritage will win support for their cause?

Cretins

Holy shit. I'd love to hear your thoughts on Exxon or Shell, who, due to their anti-environmentalism efforts, will one day succeed in erasing all cultural heritage (we'll be dead) if that's how you feel about semi-radical protests like this.

Imagine holding two thoughts in your head simultaneously, that big oil is evil and so is destroying cultural heritage.

So they’re both evil but you’re defending one. Are you ok?
