"Despite our image of Stonehenge as a grey, austere structure, during the late Tupperware/Wrapper Culture at the LTBIIIb-c boundary, local religious cults donned black masks and dyed it a brilliant orange while conducting their rites."

That's just my jice wich i spil

Fr just look at them from a different angle

I mean shit, if I was touristing and needed a treat selfie, how much cooler is getting one when Something (minor) Happened, rather than the old boring rocks that everybody has?

These protests do work. And is suspected to be largely behind why a fair fraction of the population care about climate change. And working class people will be pressed into cleaning up the mess of direct action too, so I don't understand the argument there.

Fucking up rich people's pretty shit is a perfectly valid, if somewhat toothless, response. Yes, direct action is better, but is also more heavily violently cracked down on, the mass movement needed to make it viable isn't there.

It’s not going to change big oil’s mind. Nothing short of torturing executives and hanging their bodies off a bridge will change their minds. But at least this makes people mad which is the next best thing.

These rich kids just put an unnecessary burden on the working class people who now have to clean up their mess

So you're saying these protests create jobs?

I feel like Just Stop Oil's whole thing is doing something completely harmless that still gets idiots mad so yeah.

Maybe, but you can't conclude that from the sentence at all? It simply says it's a place they've wanted to go to for 2 years. I know about Stonehenge, but haven't really thought "Y'know, I want to go visit that," but maybe that'll change.

As far as I know from my memory, it is organized by a bunch of rich kids and also the org gets its money from oil excs, shady stuff in general from their organizing

stupud

It's simply not possible that random people who are genuinely afraid of climate changes are doing irrational things out of fear of climate change. (sarcasm) "There must be some evil rational actor forcing them to do this so that they make ME look bad."

Declaring this to be a psyop recenters the narrative around yourself. It makes the narrative not about climate change or people reacting to climate change in irrational ways but instead about themselves. Yesterday it was not even called a "psyop", people were just calling them feds. Adding "psychological" to the narrative inserts the self into the narrative. It's twitter brain.
