Imagine they spray painted your car and then somebody said why are you mad about your car when the environment is fucked.

I don't have a car.
And took a job that pays less than other offers, cause it's within bicycle distance from my home, which I chose cause it's in a bike-friendly area.
I know the impact is low, but at least I'm not part of the problem. I don't think I could cut down on my CO2 any more while still living in society.

Okay imagine somebody vandalized your bike and then said you shouldn't be complaining when the environment is fucked.

I really don't understand what point you're trying to make here.
They don't vandalize the property of private citizens.
Their critics say they should (spray paint private jets instead of rocks).

This is more like "what if someone vandalized the scenic rock formation I can see from my bedroom window".
And if they spray painted a message about fightng the climate catastrophy on it, I'd love it.
