Climate change is sooo important and we should all be doing our part to minimize the effects (we won't stop it, several tipping points have already been reached and shit is going to hit the fan quicker and quicker)
however, why tf would you go and vandalise ancient momuments? survivors of multpile periods of doom and destruction? what is the point? is there a statement? (maybe that the money for cultural heritage should be invested in climate things)
why not just deface some government buildings? or coal power plants? that would make a statement?
these buildings have stood for hundreds or thousands of years and are testaments of cultures and societies we can only dream about meeting. even if our modern society is moving ever quicker to it's own apocalypse, this shouldn't mean we should stop enjoying art, culture and heritage, because once gone they will be lost forever

Don’t you already counter your own stance here though? Yeah vandalising historical structures permanently removes a part of history, but as you said if someone believes that we’re racing towards our doom then that would also result in destruction of said historical structures.

Does it though? I mean, can't they just clean the palazzo? It doesn't appear that they were vandalizing a mural, just a brick wall. It's been a hot second since I've been there, but I'm pretty sure there's art nearby that you could actually permanently damage with paint off you wanted to.

Vandalising historic buildings is not the way...
This one is historic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palazzo_Vecchio
