The prehistoric megalithic structure in England has been targeted by activists spraying orange powder paint, social media footage showed.
Environmental protesters sprayed paint on Stonehenge on Wednesday, with footage showing an orange powder covering some of the stones.
Two protesters dressed in white were seen running towards two of the megaliths, spraying paint, as another person attempted to stop them, in footage released by Just Stop Oil, an environmental activist group focused on the issue of human-caused climate change.
“Man, these people are dipshits”, “climate change is a problem though”
That’s an overall positive discussion that wouldn’t have happened otherwise.
So these people are sacrificing their image for discourse about climate change.
Well you’re missing the other half of the sentence that’s implied…
“These people are dipshits… I don’t want to be associated with them. How the fuck can I help the planet without being associated with these morons.”… It’s actually quite limiting.
There are so many other people preventing climate change that are not trowing stuff at art. You can join them. If a little group of people doing non violent/non destructive behavior is already preventing you from acting to protect our planet. Then you where never interested in protecting it to begin with.
I’d call that a net-positive.
Also, disagree that they’re morons. Their methods are rather clever and well-thought out. Unlike some or the mouth-breathers here.
Climate discussion was everywhere, last week. Every major news outlet and chat forum.
I think they’re also sacrificing the image of climate change activism.
Climate-change activism shouldn’t be a thing. Let’s not get comfortable with it existing, otherwise it will become constant background noise.
