Recently, two climate activists glued their hands on to the frames of the Spanish painter, Francisco Goya, at the Prado Museum. Although the paintings were not damaged, the frames received some discoloration. Surprisingly, this wasn’t the first attempt at vandalizing such masterpieces.

Recently, in ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, the beloved commentator with Bridget Phetasy, talked about the climate activists vandalizing famous paintings. They touched on the topic of ‘kids’ gluing themselves and throwing soup on to famous paintings. Rogan was indeed not happy about it.

“They should start hacking arms off,” said Rogan, “That would stop that. It’s so f**king dumb.” Furthermore, he opined, “It’s a symbol of this TikTok generation. It’s a symptom of all this nonsense you are seeing constantly online. These people, they are trying to get attention with the least amount of work possible.”

He said that they were happy to get the attention because they were thinking that they’re fixing the world by gluing themselves.
