In 1000 years scientists will find the paint residue and people will appreciate it as an interesting historical fact that Stonehenge was once vandalized by a psyop meant to hurt climate change organizing

“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.”

first article i saw, but a quick look at their website shows they have no criticism of capital, its just another one of those little bougie groups that funnel people away from any sort of real analysis for a showy little minute of ‘direct action’

this sounds stereotypically lib instead of a straight up psyop

unless you consider libness to be a psyop, i’d have to agree then

As mentioned above, Aileen Getty is one of several heirs to the $5.4 billion Getty fortune, which the family acquired through their oil company, founded in 1942. While the company no longer exists today, having been sold in the early 2000s, the money certainly still does, and so people have started questioning if, in reality, Aileen Getty still has active links to the oil industry.

However, unless Getty is investing in oil ventures so secretive that there are no records of them available to the public, the opposite appears to be true. In 2012, she founded the Aileen Getty Foundation, which, according to the foundation’s objectives, “supports a wide range of local and global organizations and initiatives that enhance the environment, our communities and the lives of individuals through innovation, preservation, connection and kindness.”

I’m an outsider to this debate, but even a bourgeoisie publication is saying that a child of an oil family used her inheritance. We can critique the group without repeating lies from the Western press. (unless you have more damning information or a leftist source)

even if Just Stop Oil isn’t a “psy op” loaded to the gills with agents provocateurs taking money from an oil heiress and is completely sincere activism, it’s fundamentally a reformist organization engaged in theatrics. You aren’t going to mitigate the damage of climate change, let alone end it, within the confines of ongoing capitalism.

My question is why wouldn’t you vandalize or destroy something related to climate change instead choosing one of the few standing structures disconnected to it?

tbh if you tried to destroy a pipeline the government would probably kill you

I get that, but I just mean why wouldn’t you pick a symbol of modern society rather than an archeological site? Like I get Stonehenge will get attention, but so will a lot of other places
