You should hang more in anarchist circles. Squatting as a protest and as an art piece has been alive and well for far, far longer than I've been alive. (40-50 years)

Go read about the Paris Commune, Villa Road, Pieds Plats, Frances Street, or that group who squatted in NYC until the city capitulated and turned the buildings into low income housing.

What evidence do you have that they aren't genuine about their reasons, given it's not at all uncommon for squats to exist as a form of protest?

Well, I watched it. The archival footage makes it pretty clear they did it for the lulz and only in the present day interviews do they bolt a social action to it. I prefer if they kept it purely for the lulz because then it was art.

Art can exist for the purpose of protest. Art can exist for the purpose of profit. Art can exist "for the lulz".

Who made you the arbiter of art?

Jeez, you'd look at Guernica today and complain Picasso was an SJW with an attitude like that.

All actions have social consequences.
