The defacement of treasured art is what ruined it for me. Throwing paint on a centuries-old work of art tells me more about how you see your relative worth in the world than it tells me about some cause I just stopped ever wanting to support.

It's as gauche as scratching your initials into the colosseum, and worse when one drags an organization down too.
