The libs love it, they're screaming yes queen and slay over a can of soup being thrown at a painting thats behind protective glass. But everyone who isn't a lib sees this is some kind of manufactured campaign. So what's the deal?

Is there a point where being in the public eye starts to get diminishing returns? This is the first time I've heard about the Hambach forest occupation -- and yet with they were able to achieve concrete victories against mining and energy interests in the country. If it had broken into the news sphere on this side of the Atlantic, how much would that have moved the needle? My gut says, not much. Geographically concentrated support is just more useful than diffuse awareness. Local coverage lead to local support. The soup story has reached international audiences, but can it accomplish as much?
I think all movements are more powerful when the public isn't able to tune out. I also would have liked it to be more immediately impactful, but I guess we'll have to see if they channel this energy towards anything more useful.
