Yesterday there is a news about two oil protesters threw tomato soup at Van Gogh's Sunflower painting. I agree that we have to do more to protect our earth. But it doesn't make a sense to damage an art when you protest something....

What's Wrong? Anti-Maskers?!?

Shavkat @Shavkat (141906) • Philippines 27 Jun 20

I am checking this video and it made me insane. Some people are still against using face masks. They claimed that their freedoms were violated. Is this how we perceive to be safe against COVID-19?
