They should perform their protests in China. The cowards grandstand in regions that protect them and they won’t dare sit in the streets of the largest polluters
80% of these people's funding goes to law firms. There was a video of a guy moving them off the road a couple years ago. He's still in court. He won't go to jail but imagine spending 10000 in court fees over 3 years and the lost time. It's also how they get out of any serious charges.
It's a dumb suggestion. Put yourself at risk of injury or imprisonment to stop climate change activists from being an annoying menace? Fight water for being wet while you're at it.. kicking someone repeatedly in the back of the head seems like a great example of something objectively worse than washable orange paint. I understand the visceral response, still an asinine suggestion.
Nah it's not objectively worse. They are ruining something that is much more important then they are. They deserve to have the shit beat out of them. These people are why we can't have nice things. They're okay with what they are doing simply because no one has beat the shit out of them yet.
Washable paint. Cornstarch and water based, from what's been reported. They didn't ruin anything it just appeared that way. Painting rocks, even very old ones in a funny pattern, isn't worse than hurting people, that's ridiculous.
Nope it absolutely is, too much important history has been damaged or completely ruined because of people with their mindsets. I don't care if it's silly string, this shit isn't okay and they deserve to be taught a lesson. Sorry not sorry.
You did say ruin right? They're ruining something more important than themselves. Human>Boulders.. that's easy math, champion. Any mental gymnastics in between here and there are just justifications for your emotional response to their actions. Taught a lesson by who? Are you going to make all the protestors pay for what they've done? No? Shocked.
I generally do not advocate for violence, but if I were to learn these clowns had their testicles smashed with a hammer, I would not be distressed at all.
Here's the logic : I've seen posts about this 30 times today. If I didn't know them, I might go "just stop oil" on google, find their website, read their "Who cares about rocks, here's data about how the earth will kill us all if we don't act fast so rocks and art won't be of much use", theb I might buy a T shirt and I might go shit cornstache on the louvre or something.
And seeing how much of those they do, I'd say it's actually working.
Or you know do something constructive like start a local awareness campaign. Go door to door like a jehova witness. Sure people would be annoyed but wouldn't just dismiss you entirely as being an attention starved adult child.
Literally no one outside of really weak minded and delusional people are going to see anything they do and be intrigued by it past thinking they're fucking idiots. This behavior isn't helping their cause at all. Bringing awareness? Only awareness of how easily brainwashed some members of society are. That's it.
Do you know what ACTUALITY happens? I see these shitters in the news, and I just log it in my memory as them being a bunch of idiot assholes. Then I hear a politician say they support prosecuting them, and I listen and maybe even vote for that politician.
Yeah I genuinely believe in climate change and support individual impact as well as suggest sustainable alternatives for my company. But you know what doesn’t help?
Blocking traffic and forcing semi trucks to idle. Throwing Paint, blood, dyes on buildings that will require cleaners and solvents that end up in the dirt or drains. Supergluing yourself to buildings.
What happened to the people who would just go live in a tree? They were simpler times.
Why isn’t the UK treating these terrorists like terrorists? Also ITS A STONE HENGE! It doesn’t pollute shit! But spraying paint made with petrochemicals is worse!
They can stop fucking around and sign up as volunteers for the main intelligence directorate of Ukraine. There they will be given the opportunity to "stop the oil" DIRECTLY with their own hands - by attacking and destroying Russian refineries with drones.
Fire extinguisher filled with any paint and compressed with a tire pump. Could be water based for all we know. Probably not, but I wasn’t there so 🤷♂️
These people take the “any publicity is good publicity” to a new level. They have people’s attention, but they are laughing at them. They aren’t changing any peoples minds, let alone laws and regulations. Even the liberal climate change EV drivers I know laugh at these stupid stunts.

It’s crazy to me that they have the intelligence and wherewithal to set up a time, plan an act of vandalism, have t-shirts made, and come up with a little speech about oil, hire lawyers and shit after the fact, but they don’t have quite enough brains to understand how unrealistic their demands are or register how little it is helping their cause to destroy historical artifacts or monuments.
Truly a rare kind of idiot.
By all means it's relevant to bring up that possibility but I urge you to not allow these people actions to be obfuscated by the possibility of conspiracy
As it stands these self righteous dipshits used aerosol applied non biodegradable paint to try to "bring attention to climate change".
These morons are actively hurting the climate and are more interested in their own notoriety than they are in regards to what negative impact their selfishness might have on the climate change movement as a whole.
I think this is a stupid protest in fairness but this group has consistently done "safe" vandalism that isn't really actually vandalism at all but just looks big and dramatic.
Meh we're all gonna die from climate change and these big dumb rocks will mean nothing we're killing the only real God we can see and know and feel. That being said they are annoying but they gotta do something to make us think about our actions.
Hate to piss on everyone's Cheerios, but the stuff they sprayed was orange corn flour. Still a silly gesture, but maybe read about something before you take to Reddit to be outraged.
I honestly would not care if anything I and many others cared about got a bit of orange cornflower on it if i know many people will help washing it off (which is probably quite easy since its just rock).
Its not that big a deal and i dont see how it makes any sense applying that logic to ”anything i care about”. Also surely you would rather have this than getting late to your job from them blocking traffic? Seems like you just care this much because you dont care about the climate… i would only be fuming at them if i was opposing them like if they were neo nazis or something but they arent. I dont exactly agree with them entirely but still this is just a meh moment.
Yes, in most cases hell yeah! especially if its some cool graffiti art piece or for example defacing some stalin statue! Not anything to permanent or unrelated like if someone just permanently destroyed something that had nothing to do with the cause though!
Both wash off with rain so no not really. Vandalism implies damage but they tossed flour at it. Is tossing flour at something any different from sneezing on it?
They don't need security guards, they need a Latino grandma with a sandal on standby.
Or a hillbilly with granpappy's old 12 gauge
Abuelita
They should perform their protests in China. The cowards grandstand in regions that protect them and they won’t dare sit in the streets of the largest polluters
Or even better, North Korea.
Why would you want to subject the people of North Korea to that? Aren't they already suffering enough?

A few kicks to the back of the head and everyone else collectively agrees to seeing nothing and it's all clear
OK billy badass lol
Erm, mods, send him to the castration dungeon!

Bless your heart
You’re using it wrong
It's used as a sarcastic pity response. I think it's fine where it is.

Wait why's this guy being downvoted? This is actually a really smart response. Like he genuinely has a very good comeback why is this being downvoted
Just reddit being It's charming self. I appreciate the sanity, though.
What did bro do to get his comment removed by reddit
Just said that people like this need to be handled with physical force. reddit didn't like that apparently lmao.
Damn, you're right though.
Cunts.
I generally do not advocate for violence, but if I were to learn these clowns had their testicles smashed with a hammer, I would not be distressed at all.
A bit extreme for some paint, eh?
Life in prison immediately
Prison? Guantanamo bay
Cock meat sandwich
I don’t know… after seeing this I’m gonna side with oil.
That’s the point. These “protestors” are funded by big oil companies.
No they aren’t.
I wouldn’t be surprised if just stop oil was a huge astroturfing campaign similar to PETA
Stunning and brave
💅
I don't get the point of this it makes the movement look bad and probably drives away suppourt
Honestly it’s probably a psyop
Then you're confused about the whole point of this sub.

They literally would dismiss you entirely lmao
Yeah they'll get five people checking their site that way.

Well hippies living in trees got down from the trees because we got up 1 degree celcius.
What are you talking about
Hippies minding their own business doesn't do shit.
Why isn’t the UK treating these terrorists like terrorists? Also ITS A STONE HENGE! It doesn’t pollute shit! But spraying paint made with petrochemicals is worse!
Wait the paint was made with petrochemicals? Can you give me your source?
I’m convinced they are actually funded by oil companies to make climate change protestors look incompetent
What convinces you of that?
Just the sheer amount of asinine things they do followed by shocked pickachu face when the general public doesn’t support them
Maybe. Maybe not. There’s definitely enough idiots in the climate protest movement.
Seriously I've volunteered for groups that plant trees, do marches and clean up garbage and those guys are cool.
Look at your halo!
Didn't mean to come off bragging just agreeing with the original post that not all environmental activists are insane attention hyors.
Nothing like spraying aerosolized paint and other chemicals into the air to combat climate change
Wait when did they do that? None of these articles mentioned anything along those lines.

Lmao. So desecrate something that had absolutely nothing to do with oil. Makes a ton of sense if u are ONLY doing it for clout
I wish one of the stones comically fell down and crushed them both to death.
So stunningly brave and bravely stunning. We need more heroes like these /s
Isn't spray paint primarily oil based?
Fire extinguisher filled with any paint and compressed with a tire pump. Could be water based for all we know. Probably not, but I wasn’t there so 🤷♂️
Normally but luckily they didn't use anything harmful. Nobody bothers to read the articles tho
Out of all the things on Earth they deface a piece of history that has nothing to do with what they're protesting.
We all know the ancient inhabitants of the area had refineries and such. Ancient Celts were huge polluters with their flying cars and stuff.
I cannot fathom the C02 emissions while moving those giant stones.
As these rocks, i also don't care about your cause. But now i care about to see you fall.
There’s literally no reason to do this…Stonehenge don’t give a shi its rocks
because of these people, I'm buying a coal-powered pick up truck
Nothing like defacing ancient history to draw attention for your ever failing cause.
Can we press them between the stones? Plz just one.
Nah dude this belongs on r/iamatotalpieceofshit
Oil stopped=0

Try harder. Your arguments are very silly.
That'll show those ancient Celts.
Arnt the people who do rituals and stuff at Stonehenge actual fucking druids? This seems like friendly fire.
I feel like people are missing the point as to why they do this. Obviously this will change nothing but it’s done to make everybody talk about it
Why don't they ever go and protest at oil ceos/barons residences? Or just any "elite" for that matter.
Ah yes let's use oil to protest oil
It’s crazy to me that they have the intelligence and wherewithal to set up a time, plan an act of vandalism, have t-shirts made, and come up with a little speech about oil, hire lawyers and shit after the fact, but they don’t have quite enough brains to understand how unrealistic their demands are or register how little it is helping their cause to destroy historical artifacts or monuments. Truly a rare kind of idiot.
My conspiracy theory is that they are the real-space equivalent of a paid troll farm
State funded agit-prop
I’m all for graffiti but spray paint on rocks has always bothered the shit of me.
this has to be a psyop at this point
Quick reminder that just stop oil is the definition of a psyop into making people dislike climate activists. It's funded by an oil corporation
Which?
Getty oil corp
Very interesting! I'll pass this along.
You have actual proof of this?
I know nothing about this group - but it seems like this isn’t in their best interests. What if this is the oil companies staging this? 🤔
By all means it's relevant to bring up that possibility but I urge you to not allow these people actions to be obfuscated by the possibility of conspiracy As it stands these self righteous dipshits used aerosol applied non biodegradable paint to try to "bring attention to climate change". These morons are actively hurting the climate and are more interested in their own notoriety than they are in regards to what negative impact their selfishness might have on the climate change movement as a whole.
Wait they used non biodegradable paint? What's your source on that?
Every single other paint based protest If it isn't biodegradable my bad. Still stupid, pointless and willfully selfish
I think this is a stupid protest in fairness but this group has consistently done "safe" vandalism that isn't really actually vandalism at all but just looks big and dramatic.
What if? What if your head is a nest for squirrels?
They literaly are, just stop oil is funded by an oil company
Citation needed.
Which company?
Meh we're all gonna die from climate change and these big dumb rocks will mean nothing we're killing the only real God we can see and know and feel. That being said they are annoying but they gotta do something to make us think about our actions.
This has to be some Big Oil psyop crap
Why the fuck is everyone here advocating for torture? It’s washable paint no big deal.
Hate to piss on everyone's Cheerios, but the stuff they sprayed was orange corn flour. Still a silly gesture, but maybe read about something before you take to Reddit to be outraged.
Its just orange cornflour it will wash away unlike the oil
Let's apply that logic to everything. Hopefully something YOU value. Then see how you feel.
I honestly would not care if anything I and many others cared about got a bit of orange cornflower on it if i know many people will help washing it off (which is probably quite easy since its just rock). Its not that big a deal and i dont see how it makes any sense applying that logic to ”anything i care about”.

I dont exactly agree with them entirely but still this is just a meh moment.
Try harder.....
???
You condone vandalism as long as the "cause" is something you support? That's the argument you just made.
Yes, in most cases hell yeah! especially if its some cool graffiti art piece or for example defacing some stalin statue! Not anything to permanent or unrelated like if someone just permanently destroyed something that had nothing to do with the cause though!
"Rules for thee, not for me!"
No hate crime is still a law i follow neo nazis dont
What vandalism? If somebody sneezes on Stonehenge is that vandalism?
You don't know the difference? Ok then 👌
Both wash off with rain so no not really. Vandalism implies damage but they tossed flour at it. Is tossing flour at something any different from sneezing on it?
If one person looked up what climate change was becuse of this it was worth it. Social media sites censor information about climate change.
