Activists from the environmental group Futuro Vegetal posted a video showing them standing in front of the superyacht named Kaos, holding a banner that says: “You Consume Others Suffer.” The activists then sprayed the vessel with red and black paint.

“The richest 1% of the world population pollutes more than the poorest 50%,” the activists said in the video.”They are condemning us to a future of pain, misery and desolation.”

    To me, this is far more effective than pouring paint on priceless works of art. At least this is a direct message to a billionaire.

      AFAIK nobody poured paint directly on art works, they’ve been protected by plastic covers etc. so the works haven’t been harmed.
