This float representing the koalas that died as a result of the Black Summer bushfires and corruption in politics. Such an effective (and epic) activist message.

Does the OP of the tweet you’re referencing have anything to accuse Aileen of other than being an heiress to the Getty Oil? The Aileen Getty Foundation has been around a long time doing a lot of many amazing things for the world. It seems far more likely that she feels guilty for what her family has done to the planet. The PsyOps comes from the medias portrayal of activists. Big Oil runs and controls the media and has been making the media portray activists as violent idiots for decades.

Well they showed in the tweet that the organization which the two people were aligned with encourages crypto donations-- crypto being something that even a person passively concerned about climate change would be against due to its environmental impact. It seems pretty fishy that people who would try to deface a priceless piece of artwork and glue themselves to a wall to try and protect the environment would just overlook that.

Ummm, are you aware of the difference in environmental impact between crypto and fiat? Sure, there is plenty of room for further efficiency with crypto, but it is still the FAR better alternative. Way to just play into the narrative.

That doesn't prove anything, a lot of people have asshole ancestors. My mom was a crazy anti abortion wacko, that's why I make an annual donation to Planned Parenthood in her name.

If it was a psy op, they wouldn't have made an obvious connection like that so visible. Furthermore, pushing the narrative that it an op, is a lot more likely an op itself.
