The Spin
Narrative A
Stunts like this are ill-advised, as attacking American history and culture isn't likely to convince anyone to support a greener future. These acts of civil disobedience are pointless and should be punished for the inconvenience they cause.
Narrative B
The harm caused by these acts of civil disobedience pale in comparison to the horrors of climate change. Instead of punishing the perpetrators, governments should take the activists' message to heart and do more to preserve the Earth for future generations.
