  • Are they attempting that? Because if thousands upon thousands of scientific papers and our best and brightest describing what climate chabge is going to do, hundreds of peaceful protests, hundreds of protests at oil rigs and depots and FF company HQs and politicians houses and banks financing FF companies, and experiencing first hand the actual effects of climate change don’t stir people to action, what will?

    These protests are to keep climate change permanently is the public consciousness, so people and the media can’t just bury their heads in the sand and pretend it’s not happening while they get us to chase whatever culture war bullshit is going on.

    The people who actually give a damn about this and take action aren’t going to be put off because someone sprayed starch on a rock, or put paint on a piece of glass in front of an art work. And the people getting their knickers in a twist over that are the people that were never, ever going to do literally anything to help the problem.





  • No, but I, nor anyone else claimed they were going to.

    The other commentor said the jet protests were effective whereas stonehenge was not. So I’m just asking what effect it had? Because at least the Stonehenge protest was big news, which was the whole point of the protest.


  • What makes the jets effective but stone henge not?

    Seriously what effects have the jetshave vs stone henge? Did it rally a bunch of people to the cause? Did it make the fossil field companies rethink their ways? Convince the MPs to stop oil investment? Make the owners of those jets not want to fly them?

    Hey I’ve actually done that before kept snoozing my alarm for a few more minutes, got written up a few times, got a final warning and one day I was like “eh I can probably find a new job easily” and rolled over and had one of the best sleeps of my life and was in a new job by Monday of the next week.


  • I wouldn’t do the same to your fucking country, but here I am, defending mine from smug ignoramuses.

    This whole fucking post is you doing this.

    The Chinese don’t play that card, the Egyptians don’t play that card, and the Japanese don’t play that card

    What the fuck are you on about? Have you ever actually met someone from another country? Or have you lived your entire life in like rural Oklahoma or something? All of those people are very proud of their long histories and absolutely do “play that card.”

    You call it American Exceptionalism, I call it the country everybody moves to and makes cool shit, choking the poor on their way, and bombing people on occasion.

    Okay so you’re just a troll. I’m kind of ashamed it took Mr this long to realise when this is basically a “ShitAmerkcansSay” highlight reel.

    I’m not going to be an arrogant, self-righteous, know-it-all, ignorant, condescending, annoying fucking asshole to those people about their dramas and politics when I talk to them.

    Way way way too late for that one mate, lol.
