   Everybody talks about the tomato soup spilled over the (glas shielded) painting and nobody about climate change. Has that been the goal of "Just Stop Oil"? Or is it the more intricate goal to intentionally force people to talk about tomato soup instead of climate change and create cognitive dissonance?

     I understand that. I've been more interested in why they fail with such a strategy, don't see that they fail or whether that they use cognitive dissonance intentionally as to bring people to "admit" that in defending a painting they rather defend fossil fuel consumption than "the planet".

     @simsa04 Their argument is to point out that people care more about protecting a 10x8 painting rather than protecting the planet (I think).
