    All that hand wringing over what kind of protest should be ok, you guys are exhausting. The kind of protest doesn’t make a difference at all. A lot of people will say it’s unacceptable no matter what. I’ll even admit sometimes a protest misses the mark, but I’m still glad they did it.

    The kids are alright

      My only opinion is that if the protest dosen’t hurt the owner class, then it’s not going to do anything anyway.

        Any protest is better than complaining or arguing on the internet. I’ll let the tactics to the actual people doing their actions. Nothing but encouragement from me 👍

        The protest isn’t intended to hurt the owner class. The protest is intended to draw attention to the issue. We’re talking about it therefore it’s an effective form of protest.

        Without protests like this we go about our lives worrying about bills and ignore the literal apocalyptic catastrophe we’re nose-diving into.

        I sure hope no buildings are damaged as society collapses from climate change strain

        Any protest that doesn’t physically damage buildings owned by the fossil fuel industry aren’t going far enough

        This comment is advocating for property damage

        Just Stop Oil said the paint was made of cornstarch and would dissolve in the rain.

        Merriman said experts cleaned the orange powder from the stones because they were concerned about how it might react to water.

        Might.

        So because it could in the future maybe possibly damage it in some unspecified amount, they cleaned it off to be super sure there will be no damage.

        So what fucking damage that really happened in the real world are you talking about?

            Gotcha. Given how the post we’re replying to is about Stonehenge, I guess I assumed that’s what you’re talking about
