  • Stonehenge sprayed with orange powder paint by Just Stop Oil activists

  • "The rain didn't get the tiny flecks of wheat out of the cracks" Yet somehow it's clean. Why are you continuing to act like this is comparable to actual paint? You're whining about something that's literally not a deal in the slightest, you really should stop making free propaganda for oil companies

    slight wording edit at the start

  • Nobody's first thought when they read "paint" is corn flour that easily washes off. Headlines written like this play these kinds of semantics games with their headlines to drive angry engagement, or even to push a political agenda sometimes. The Guardian seems to run articles critical of the oil industry fairly often so maybe this isn't sinister like that, I'd have to do more research on The Guardian and the article's author to get an idea

  • I am for sure, all the articles I've seen on this have called it paint and it's really disingenuous and frustrating. The way they describe it makes it sound like they took a can of paint and splashed it on the stones. I interpreted it that way at first and got pretty mad, imo there's no good environmental message that's sent by destroying the ruins of long dead civilizations. At least defacing classic European art can be seen as a protest against the colonialist attitudes that led to climate change, Idk how actually effective it is at forcing change but part of me gets some morbid satisfaction from it :3

  • Not misinformation, disinformation. You read the article, yet choose to act like this is comparable to spray paint or something else that won't immediately wash off. This is like getting indignant bc somebody threw a couple eggs at a great pyramid. It's stupid and irrelevant to climate change, but sharing articles where the title says they threw acid instead of eggs is just fucking wrong, and serves no purpose besides discrediting climate activism

    Edit actually this article says nothing about corn flour, sorry for accusing you of ignoring that. That's super shady and shitty on the Guardian's part, a detail that majorly changes how actually harmful this act was

    Double edit you're still acting like they threw actual paint, so nvm my apology. Stop being such a blatant oil shill

  • Stonehenge Sprayed With Orange Paint One Day Before Solstice

    Jump

  • I mostly agree, but imo classic art is a much more valid target than Stonehenge or other historical sites. Some oil squirted onto cloth by an old white guy who's been dead for 200+ years can be very pretty and can have some historical significance, but their loss isn't anything close to a tragedy. What happened at Stonehenge would be inexcusable imo if it were coated with real paint that couldn't be removed without ruining old carvings and stuff on it, as it is it's just a stupid target. Fuck classic art, if people genuinely care more about preserving doodles made by slave owners than the environment, they should become climate activists to protect their precious art

  • Not paint, literally orange corn flour that'll wash off with the first rain. Stop spreading disinformation for big oil pls. Idk why they went for this instead of classical art, but acting like this is some terrible evil crime is exactly what oil companies want you to think, they want you to root against people protesting climate change, no matter how tiny their vandalism is in the grand scheme of things

  • This is clearly irony! Trump's just making an ironic joke, he's always being ironic when he tells his voters he hates them! You just don't get ironic humor smh

    /s, ironic humor is a lie

  • Then what are you doing here? Why act like Russia is doing better than it is other than to try and spread Kremlin propaganda?

  • So you do oppose genocide? I thought you wanted people to shut up about it until after the election? If genocide is so bad you should try protesting it instead of telling people to be quiet about it

  • Very cool and convenient how you ignore me saying we should vote for biden bc otherwise it doesn't fit your narrative of apathetic leftists not voting to own the libs. If you have nothing to say in good faith then fuck off, genocidal cunts like you are a waste of time to talk to

  • I support voting for biden (barely) and I support telling him to stop supporting genocide. All you wanna do is pretend there is no genocide. That makes you a genocidal reactionary, and whatever I am it's a fuck of a lot better than that :3

  • You know what op was saying, them not specifically mentioning Israeli genocide doesn't change that it's clearly a response to that, telling people to shut up and stop complaining. Pretending to be sly about it doesn't make it any less reprehensible
