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.
Coverage, yes. But the result of that coverage? Making people not want to support climate activism, and maybe even have a negative reaction to anything climate positive. And how effective is that coverage in helping the climate? What changes in climate related policy can be traced back to any of these actions?
Yeah this is totally selfish and just brings attention to them while harming their supposed cause.
It spreads awerness, no other climate protest has even managed that. Some people obviously fall for the news rage bait but if even 1% of people gain any awerness of climate change it will have been the most effective form of climate protests by far purely on what reach it has had.
I would disagree. Like Greta Thunberg , did it right. peaceful protest and didn’t vandalize.
She spoke in front the of UN. These guys are doing it wrong.
And what did that accomplish?
.
Awareness and debate ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ She did inspire the youth
And there are thousands of people that express their hatred for her and the movement she stamds for, even threatening to rape and kill her.
In Germany there are regular street blockades and Airport disruptions and the average response to these things was people wanting to run them over with their cars.
There will always be haters, but I’m not sure what point your bringing up?
I’m just saying there are more peaceful way to do things like this, without vandalizing.
