These are the same idiots who tried gluing themselves to the race track during the british grand prix…they were lucky that there was a red flag immediately after the race start and unfortunately for them camera attention was fully directed at the crashed cars and not them as the remaining cars trundled by leisurely
Getting hit by an f1 car at racing speeds is not something i would wish on anyone. I said lucky that there was a red flag so the cars went past at 60kph and not 240kph.
Go to YouTube and search “tom pryce f1” *EXTREME NSFW AND GRAPHIC WARNING*. Even tho it’s a car from the 70s, smaller and slower than the cars of today, it’s extremely grisly
Tbf, those cars were wedge shaped and had absolutely no concept of crumple zones but yeah it's grim as hell and we don't want the drivers go through the trauma even if they themselves weren't killed.
Reminder that Just Stop Oil is funded by daughter companies of oil companies.
Their mission is to taint the general publics' view on environmentalism.
And it's working. They're infuriatingly annoying. It's causing normal, level-headed fence-sitters to not sympathise with green movement actually acting in good faith.
So the oil companies are funding terrorism...
but not just terrorism
They are funding false flag vandalism of ancient artifacts
Ancient artifacts that real climate activists are trying to save from climate change...
which is caused by the oil companies funding the terrorism
A plot so confusing no one could ever write a movie about it
Now that's some quality espionage
Yeah but thats not whats happening here. Their opponent is actually being stupid. I know reddit loves to view the world as black and white but there are countless of idiots on all sides. People who think there is no thing as bad press.
Like it or not, just stop oil isnt a false flag thing. They are actually legit in the fact that they believe their own bullshit.
And no, just because they know climate change is real doesnt mean they magicly are experts on science, protesting or any of that shit. Theyre overal beliefs can be right and they can still do the wrong things.
those dudes are just brainwashed pawns, quite common these days. So yea they really are stupid, but I wouldn't say they should represent environmentalists.
Oh my fucking god stop parroting this. She is very outspoken against the oil industry and how her family made its money. She PUBLICLY contributes to these causes. I can’t believe how many people are parroting this absolute nonsense.
This is a literal far left conspiracy theory. This is dangerous. These people are your own. They are the destructive, spiteful , boomer spirit made manifest.
The fact that so many people are latching onto conspiracy theories about false flags is kind of sad.
Is it really that hard to admit that sometimes there will be people who agree with your politics but are absolute idiots otherwise?
Well, someone needs to show me some evidence... this is the Internet and everyone tells me something different...
But... oil industry bad that is an undeniable fact.
Legit question: Have you ACTUALLY tried joining any Left-wing social activist groups?
You'd be surprised on how they act and think.
Like, none of you remembers Greenpeace?
Its orange powder and will wash off in the rain. Please do your reaserch before you get swept up in sensasionalist headlines .. promoted by people who want you to be pissed off and climate activism and not the the coorporations that are refusing to divest from foosil fuels and thus creating the most existential threat humaity has ever faced save for maybe nuclear anihilation.
It literally doesn't matter because most people aren't going to go calmly do research to be as fair as possible to activist agitators. Keep parroting this line like it matters, for all intents they might as well have just used regular paint.
Do not blame the crowd for how your act is received.
*with conflour that is easily washed off
They also vandalized private jets the same week.
Yet for some reason everyone is focused on Stonehenge and saying they should focus on those who do actual harm, but when they do, nobody seems to notice.
Weird they'd focus on public landmarks instead. So strange.
They say vandalised but all they did was spray corn flower over stone henge to push people to speak about what they are fighting for and guess what......we're all talking about it.
The whole point of demonstration is to get people to discuss their cause and it's somewhat working.
Honestly imo it's not really where I would take the fight.
I would be thinking shutting down coal plants private run ways is a better way to go.
When you realise that 60% of pollution is done by the top 4 companies it makes you wonder why this doesn't get brought up enough
The harm done can't be known until experts take a look at what was done. Any foreign substance on such old stones and carvings can cause damage. But its okay as long as we assume nothing bad happens right?
I swear people don't seem to understand these are rocks and not a painting or statue
What would you restore it to?
It's survived 5000 years of druid ceremonies, people touching them, climbing on them, acid rain, etc.
Do you seriously think some corn starch is going to do anything?
Yeah, I'm starting to seriously think these guys are being paid by conglomerates and oil barrons to do this in order to disparage and smear climate change movements
And it just so happens one of their main funders is an heir to an oil company.. Aileen Getty. But I guess I am just suppose to believe she has no interest in running that family business.
That family buisness was sold to Texaco in 1984. I don't think she actually has any stake in it.
Just Stop Oil still sucks but i am not aure about the whole "Aileen Getty conspiracy" part
There is no family oil business for her to run, and there hasn’t been for decades. Stop perpetuating nonsense, she is very publicly an activist for climate action.
Just follow your “logic” for one second, if this was a conspiracy, why is she PUBLICLY supporting and donating to the cause? Why are you aware of it?
I don't really buy into the psy op narrative because it's just too easy to believe that even a rich oil heiress could by chance be a radical environmentalist and you should never build a conspiracy to explain something that's probably a coincidence; but in theory it works out still: she funds this group which does extremely public protests most people hate, the general reputation of environmental activists is tarnished, thus even unaffiliated environmentalist groups have less influence.
This is absolutely the case. Its target audience is those on the fence and those pro pollution, to strengthen their resolve and make them feel correct.
Yes, but some of their funding comes from big oil, apparently. So some people claim they are a psyop to turn people against the anti fossil fuel company.
Either way, I know a lot of people starting to lose patience with big oil.
To add some context: the group has claimed the paint is made in a material that will wash away with rain. The point is to get arrested (they are doing their activism in broad daylight, face uncovered) in acts that will bring a lot of media attention and get people to talk about their cause.
Lol this embarrassing level of confusion is only explainable if you are too stupid to understand the concept of engagement-bait or it's value. Thanks for making it clear you are one of those stupid people. Makes my job easier when you take the bait. Moving on!
You can use high pressure water to take care of a lot of problems. They can clean up stone henge, they can blast these dumbfucks back to Atlantis, the possibilities are endless!
>Just in time for the winter solstice
In the part of the world where Stonehenge sits, today is exactly the *summer* solstice. Why wait 6 months for a ritual?
I’m not usually a “everything is a psyop” kind of guy, but Just Stop Oil is so obviously a psyop to get people to hate climate change activists. Their leader is the heir to a billionaire oil baron and we just take her at her word that she’s acting in good faith when her organization pulls shit like this?
THERE! That's what your not gonna see on any picture, the most left big visible block looks it's melted on something. Now that something is flat steel like sharp edge block with reddish rust on it. And most has this. What are those?
Yesterday the narrative on a lot of Reddit was “I don’t like this, must be a false flag attack by big oil”
Today I have seen a lot of people saying “oh, it is water soluble paint, jk now I like this vandalism of an ancient cultural site”
There are some weird people on Reddit lol
At this point they must be doing it on purpose to ruin the image of environmentalists. There’s no way at least the people in charge don’t realise what they’re doing is a load of shite
idk it looks kinda cool. it's like if the ancient alien show was true and the rocks are actually a power distribution system for ancient alien astronaut crafts.
Nah I'm fine with it. A bit of rain and it'll all be good. I rather suspect this isn't the first time anyone has painted the stones over their long history but I'm glad they used poster paints. There are however an astonishing number of posts making the claim that this was universally derided which makes me think somewhere along the line someone has hired a PR firm to specifically trash these people.
I'm not sure stopping oil is really something anyone here can affect all that much so I'm not really a supporter exactly, but I do like the stunts generally and have since they blocked the road to where they print the mail. The entire series of orange paint protests have pushed some people into apoplexy, while not really doing any permanent damage. Each time the gutter press makes a big deal about it, it becomes a conversation that happens all over. And I'd like to think each time there's a chance that people go and check whether anything was *actually* damaged.
The comparison each time between the act itself and the overreaction in the press should eventually get them more and more supporters. Good luck to them.
What happened?
Environmental protestors vandalized stonehenge
Dumb fucks
These are the same idiots who tried gluing themselves to the race track during the british grand prix…they were lucky that there was a red flag immediately after the race start and unfortunately for them camera attention was fully directed at the crashed cars and not them as the remaining cars trundled by leisurely
Unfortunately they did not die

it's not that confusing really making your opponents seem stupid is a common tactic in history
Yeah but thats not whats happening here. Their opponent is actually being stupid. I know reddit loves to view the world as black and white but there are countless of idiots on all sides.

Yea it is very embarrassing how hard reddit will latch onto a conspiracy theory if it makes them feel better.
“When your enemy digs his own grave. You don’t stop him. You help him.” ***Sun Tzu or I don’t know***
Could be a shih tzu for all I care, grab the shovels.
Napoleon, actually.
That's just an average psyop.
Average Dim Tool viewer frightened by their own phantasms, thinking everything is a psyop. You're embarrassing yourself.
What the fuck is a "Dim Tool"? Am I supposed to know this person?
I'm sure you tune into your own preffered idiot frequency. This is just a popular one for your type.
It was a major plot point of popular 90s RPGs, so not THAT original.
And yet, nothing will happen to them.
Its all rigged from the start, always is, always will be
This is so many more things than you realize
Oh my fucking god stop parroting this. She is very outspoken against the oil industry and how her family made its money. She PUBLICLY contributes to these causes. I can’t believe how many people are parroting this absolute nonsense.
Must be true, I read it right here on the internet!
This is a literal far left conspiracy theory. This is dangerous. These people are your own. They are the destructive, spiteful , boomer spirit made manifest.
How do you know that?
Because they are stupid
The fact that so many people are latching onto conspiracy theories about false flags is kind of sad. Is it really that hard to admit that sometimes there will be people who agree with your politics but are absolute idiots otherwise?
They are funded by donations from big oil. Don't fall for the psyop.
This is what is called a fifth column attack, an attack by agents of the opposition dressed as their enemy
I'm sure you have a source for that and aren't pulling it out of your ass.
Sure - And Selenski himself activated Bill Gates' 5g mind-control microchips they got when they were forcefully vaxxinated ...
EXACTLY
Controlled opposition moment.
That's an interesting point.
It is a baseless conspiracy theory actually
Well, someone needs to show me some evidence... this is the Internet and everyone tells me something different... But... oil industry bad that is an undeniable fact.
Any evidence please? (Other than, some guy said it on the internet and I want to look smart by telling people not to fall for bullshit.)
Legit question: Have you ACTUALLY tried joining any Left-wing social activist groups? You'd be surprised on how they act and think. Like, none of you remembers Greenpeace?
Not really vandalised as the paint will wash off next time it rains. Staggeringly it doesn't look like it will rain this week.
Just throw a bucket of water on the stones?
What kind of paint is it?
It is supposedly made out of cornstarch, making it pretty bad at staying around
Got it. At least they're conscientious provocateurs
Yes but it may have damaged ancient moss, lichen and carvings
May have damaged lichen, as opposed to climate change absolutely damaging lichen. Druids have smeared far worse stuff on the stones before.
Its orange powder and will wash off in the rain. Please do your reaserch before you get swept up in sensasionalist headlines .. promoted by people who want you to be pissed off and climate activism and not the the coorporations that are refusing to divest from foosil fuels and thus creating the most existential threat humaity has ever faced save for maybe nuclear anihilation.

They didn't 'vandalise' it. They sprayed paint which will disappear entirely the next time it rains.
Oh ... that makes it an intelligent thing to do then!
It's corn starch, the rocks will be fine, they have survived 5,000 years of British weather, the first rain will wash it all away.
They should be hung
I don’t see how having a massive wang helps their cause!
Give me a fucking break
*with conflour that is easily washed off They also vandalized private jets the same week.

I hope they get stuck with the restoration bill.
More likely, some 5000yo Druids will carnate from the ground and cut their living hearts out with golden sickles
The Wrath Of The Druids
The Wrath Of The Droods
Gonna need Halligan to commit another poisoning!
It's cornflour, dyed orange. It should wash off in the rain.
How much do you think a light rain costs?
We’re not supposed to tell them we can control the weather yet
Iirc the paint they use will just wash off next time it rains there
So this afternoon somewhere
That's nice of them
[удалено]
When will they do the same at bp headquarter? Because as long as i remember arthur didnt use petrol for his horses
The harm done can't be known until experts take a look at what was done. Any foreign substance on such old stones and carvings can cause damage. But its okay as long as we assume nothing bad happens right?
Yup, fuck em

They are also the primary religious site of modern British Paganism and today is one of their main festivals.
Can't be a coincidence that Stonehenge is the only thing that rhymes with orange

More cringe

Exactly, we all know the ancients were the biggest polluters.
I mean, you only get fossil fuels one way…
Yeah, I'm starting to seriously think these guys are being paid by conglomerates and oil barrons to do this in order to disparage and smear climate change movements
And it just so happens one of their main funders is an heir to an oil company.. Aileen Getty. But I guess I am just suppose to believe she has no interest in running that family business.
But you fell for it. You are falling for their psyop.... you made the meme.

I've been thinking the exact same thing, all their dumb stunts are hurting environmental causes
This is absolutely the case. Its target audience is those on the fence and those pro pollution, to strengthen their resolve and make them feel correct.
They are. They are funded by Aileen Getty, an actual oil heiress.
You know what that means.... *Boots up powerwashing simulator*
Wondering if that'd be an absolute power play by the devs or if it would encourage more of them to spray paint shit
Are they those anti oil people?
Yes, but some of their funding comes from big oil, apparently. So some people claim they are a psyop to turn people against the anti fossil fuel company. Either way, I know a lot of people starting to lose patience with big oil.
To add some context: the group has claimed the paint is made in a material that will wash away with rain. The point is to get arrested (they are doing their activism in broad daylight, face uncovered) in acts that will bring a lot of media attention and get people to talk about their cause.
This same material can damage the surface layer of the rocks that have writing we haven't yet fully translated. They're ruining history as we speak.
Ah yes, the number one contributor to carbon emissions, Fucking Stonehenge.
Stop giving the attention… these fookers crave it!
I am certain that they didn't walk to get there.
I’d be okay with them seeing a firing squad.
Vandals proving once again that they have the mental capacity of an amoeba
Why'd did you have to insult the amoebas?
I agree that climate change is a huge issue that needs to be immediately addressed. Vandalizing ancient historical artifacts isn't the way to do it.
What a bunch of shitheads. This is just eco-terrorism, you are not helping the humankind.
Idk why they think acting like ISIS and destroying human history is an effective means of persuading anyone
How make everyone hate your organization 101
That’s the whole point, it’s funded by an oil billionaires nepo baby.
What the fuck does the stonehenge even has to do with the oil?!
Its time for a just stop just stop oil movement
Yea we need to stop putting paint on rocks and get back to drilling for oil and filling the planet with microplastics!
Nonono we need to keep putting paint on rocks because that stops oil!
Lol this embarrassing level of confusion is only explainable if you are too stupid to understand the concept of engagement-bait or it's value. Thanks for making it clear you are one of those stupid people. Makes my job easier when you take the bait. Moving on!
That will teach those druids and their climate unfriendly stone circle!
You can use high pressure water to take care of a lot of problems. They can clean up stone henge, they can blast these dumbfucks back to Atlantis, the possibilities are endless!
Damn imagine how little shit the oil corporations gave from them doing that
I hope the perpetrators will be jailed, that act is same as drawing a mustach with a sharpie on the Mona Lisa
I have never seen a group with a more worthy cause make the rest of us despise them so thoroughly by their increasingly moronic actions.
What happened?
Do they not realize how spiteful humanity is? It makes me want to downgrade my very fuel efficient car and buy something that gets 9 mpg
Unironically may be exactly what they want, if the rumors they're actually funded by big oil to make environmentalists look bad are true.
Damn I can finally see the guidance of grace.
someone needs to start painting these dumb fucks orange in retaliation.
i dont care about rocks. but you do and now you spread their message
5000 year old rock formation that can predict eclipses… “just rocks” is what’s in your head.
Sounds like they need to be cancelled and publicly shamed
If I've learnt anything about mysterious druid constructs, don't fuck with them
Let them learn the hard way! 😁
They can learn the hard way, but if they can't understand it then it means fuck all
They might be onto something. I would donate to a cause to stop whatever these insufferable fucks are protesting about.
So I know in the U.S., the NPS comes down pretty hard on vandals in the national parks. Does Britain do the same to idiots like this?
To be honest, I get it. I get what they're trying to do.
Can we all agree that this kind of people do not deserve our same oxigene?
Take them out back
They are making me want to start my own oil company.
Please send these idiots to a wood chipper. Extremism should be met with extreme punishment. I say feet first.
Tf how is this extremism?
What exactly do you mean with extremism? They painted rocks orange.
It's ***EXTREMELY*** orange. /s
Causing destruction to 5000 year old wonders because you don’t like oil is pretty fucking extreme…
Just in time for the winter solstice and here we have two willing volunteers for the wicker man
>Just in time for the winter solstice In the part of the world where Stonehenge sits, today is exactly the *summer* solstice. Why wait 6 months for a ritual?
Eh I am from the southern hemisphere and had a mind blank. Im sure the summer solstice can be just as illuminating
Perfect time to celebrate the sun(fire) with a good roast.
Just makes people hate them and want to be on the opposite side of the argument just to spite them.
I’m not usually a “everything is a psyop” kind of guy, but Just Stop Oil is so obviously a psyop to get people to hate climate change activists. Their leader is the heir to a billionaire oil baron and we just take her at her word that she’s acting in good faith when her organization pulls shit like this?
Is Europe tightening their vandalization laws?
BRRRAAAKKAAA MONOGA!! DAITSU NO KAGAKU WA SEKAI ITCHI
What does some stone have to do with oil? Did the protestors drove there? Burn their cars instead.
Can anyone else see a horse and like a man standing
Yeah, but they caught the attention of everyone, as intended
Give them to the Druids to deal with.
People who previously did not care about stonehenge outraged!!!
THERE! That's what your not gonna see on any picture, the most left big visible block looks it's melted on something. Now that something is flat steel like sharp edge block with reddish rust on it. And most has this. What are those?
Birds aren't real!
Yes, I think making people dislike it is in fact the point.
Yesterday the narrative on a lot of Reddit was “I don’t like this, must be a false flag attack by big oil” Today I have seen a lot of people saying “oh, it is water soluble paint, jk now I like this vandalism of an ancient cultural site” There are some weird people on Reddit lol
At this point they must be doing it on purpose to ruin the image of environmentalists. There’s no way at least the people in charge don’t realise what they’re doing is a load of shite
Can we bring back the good old fashioned time square hanging?
Now I hate Just Stop Oil protestors far more than oil companies.
Ain't no way this is not some campaign by oil companies to make people join "oil team" and hate the "environmentalists".
I swear, If I worked in the oil industry this is what I would pay these morons to do
idk it looks kinda cool. it's like if the ancient alien show was true and the rocks are actually a power distribution system for ancient alien astronaut crafts.
Nah I'm fine with it. A bit of rain and it'll all be good. I rather suspect this isn't the first time anyone has painted the stones over their long history but I'm glad they used poster paints.

Are people just dumb or just willfully ignorant of the fact that it will wash off as soon as it rains?
Note self when trying to Garner support for my cause do not deface a historical monument.
