Spanish climate activists sprayed red paint across a superyacht owned by billionaire Walmart heiress Nancy Walton Laurie in Barcelona on Friday, the second time the yacht has been the target of protests in the past two months.
Jealousy becomes vandalism?
I wonder how they feel good themselves if people from Africa came and vandalised their house and say rich people should exist
I believe these activists have probably had empathy for the global poor. This walmart bitch creates the global poor.
They are free to give up their “wealthy” Spanish life and go help those “poor” people get rich.
More action less talk.
The billionaires are literally the reason everyone else is poor. They use that wealth and power to keep wages stagnant and neo-colonialism and neo-slavery churning.
Divide the wealth of the billionaire and the number of poor people and see how much they each get
It’s how they use their power of capital, not the actual dollar amount. They have the decision making power above all the rest of us. They are deciding to create a deeply unfair and violent world.

There’s a difference between working class and a billionaire that exploits millions of workers.
What does Africa have to do with this, weren’t the activists from Spain? 🧐
Comparison. These billionaire compare to average Spaniards are filthy rich.
These Spaniards are filthy rich compare the most people in African.
I doubt the action came out of “care”, more out of jealousy.
I doubt the action came out of “care”, more out of jealousy.
So they’re acting like billionaires?
not sure if the billionaire are jealous or not.
The protest going around vandalising property to make their point is definitely an action from jealously.
People have vote with their money to shop at Walmart.
Billionaires don’t get jealous? I guess I meant greed.
Some are, some not. Hard to judge.
Everyone expects others to give what they have away like a river flowing downstream.
Show me a billionaire that isn’t motivated by greed. Seriously, I’ll wait.
But honestly, how is it you can know the motivations of a protestor and most other people but not whether a billionaire is greedy?

Manure is pretty cheap.
Yeah the people in this thread are full of it lol
Also, manure is a good source of potassium nitrate…
What an incendiary thought.
Oh No. Anyway

I’m not sure if you’re bootlicking for billionaires intentionally or not, but attacking those attacking them with your useless armchair “meaningful solutuion” only serves them…
Well put and you included a source that’s bonus points yo
Or sink the damn yacht.

So you’re saying you think they should burn the yacht?
deleted by creator
Fine we’ll burn it AND plant enough trees to offset the carbon of it’s destruction. You in now?
Imagine that, some people are actually willing to sacrifice for change, unlike your useless ass who only seems interested in criticising those actually acting.
Broooo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

And what does that do… create more waste in float around the ocean along with a bunch of gas. Depending on now it’s done, the crew may also die, their only crime was working to put food in their table. The people who did it go to prison for a bunch of crimes, potentially including murder. Then the rich person just has their assistant buy a new yacht, this time docked in a hard to reach place with armed guards.
This isn’t Flight Club. Project Mayhem is not the way forward.
they used biodegradable paint, because they anticipated comments on the internet like the one you have made, complete with an ad hominem attack. the boat didnt need to be repainted.
where would you like them to “plant trees” in the meaningful way you would prefer these “idiots” to do? In the acres of land they happen to own that they can reforest with native species, yes? Perhaps you should contact them to remind them about the land they own that they’ve forgotten about.
what they’re doing is getting headlines and drawing attention to how “billionaires should not exist”, which they’ve done. People are seeing this, people are thinking about it, people are talking about it, people are taking time to hot-take simple solutions to the climate emergency like “them idiot protesters should go plant some meaningful trees”
Eating a single rich person is equivalent to planting millions of trees.
What if instead of shitting on people that are trying to support your cause, you instead try to kindly guide them or show them how you see things.
Especially considering you’re supposed to be a wookie Mr. >:(
It’d be better if we didn’t have to replant the trees they cut down in the first place.
“Stop doing that or I’ll have to cut another $ per hour from all our employees to pay for the damages!”
I love it. God bless us every one.
Oh no you cost them .0000005 seconds of their salary to fix it.
With the added bonus of letting these people know that them and their assets aren’t as hard to get to as they like to think. Trust that this won’t end with paint.
If they were worried enough about it, they would increase security.
its about getting eyeballs on their message.
I’ve had traffic blocked while I was cycling to work by eco protesters and lamented they were targeting the wrong folks here- so they’re doing what they can to target the right folks.
no matter what people do to try to draw attention to the right focus on the issue, there will always be thumb typers saying its wrong, so good work
Yeah but blocking traffic is just as valid. Frankly too many regular people just don’t give a shit about climate change. We need to do anything to spread knowledge.
I really disagree with this one. When people can’t get to work and are therefore in trouble with the boss, or lose a client, they become angry with the people or factor that caused it. I have heard easily half a dozen people say they hate climate activists for this reason. It doesn’t work.
No joke, it’s probably even less than that.
This is entirely unacceptable, that is somebody’s hard earned private property and it’s never OK to vandalize what isn’t yours.
That’s right, private property has human rights!!
@[email protected], you silly goose! Why do you have to be so evil? Tsk tsk
Oh there’s lots of times when it’s perfectly ok. Like this one. How many of their employees need government assistance? Fuck this rich lady and her superyacht.
Edit: it’s a SUPERyacht not just a yacht silly me
Hard earned…? There’s several angles you might use to condemn this, but suggesting they worked hard for their inherited fortunes is ridiculous.
Somebody hard earned that money even if it wasn’t this person it was her father or grandfather
Ah crap, just realised it’s a troll account. Shoo troll, shoo
I think it’s more of a parody account. I asked judge Mills Lane. He’ll allow it.
That’s simply untrue, a yacht like that is a terrible waste of humanities limited resources.
Send in the orcas!

So burn that one too.
That gets you game over though, long haul strat best strat
