I hear what you’re saying, however the actions of a small number of people doesn’t mean everyone else should stop caring about making good choices about their own environmental impact on things. I get that throwing soup on a painting isn’t the way forward (donate the soup to a food bank and complain to your MP instead for example).
Nobody is saying everyone must become a hermit living off grid. Just take little steps like reducing meat consumption slightly, seek out products with no or minimal plastic packaging, that kind of thing.
But not everyone who feels it’s important does what the more unorthodox/shock tactic activists do. Strangely though, what they do is the only thing widely reported in the media as it’s designed to support confirmation bias for others to like to roll their eyes, and call anyone with a genuine concern to reduce plastic consumption (for example) some radical with an appetite for wanton destruction.
