Like the 3 private jets that were vandalized with orange paint in London. That's the kind of thing I can support, it makes headlines, it grounds the planes reducing emissions, and it specifically targets those who are causing the most harm.

It hasn't made headlines though. Juststopoil goes after oil terminals, car manufacturers etc pretty often but it's never reported on. The only protest that gets attention is souping painting or spraying cornflour on rocks.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago

Hmm. I wonder why the media is more heavily reporting one type of vandalism over another?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Fwiw I saw news articles about the planes being vandalized before I saw this one about Stonehenge, so the headlines do exist. Everyone's news feeds are different though.

The headlines exist, but Stonehenge is what is generating the lasting discussion and will be the instance that most people in the world know about.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago

Yup, in another thread about the planes there's nothing but assholes griping about stonehenge.

Almost like defacing art is actually the more effective type of protest.

I didn't hear about that.

I am hearing about this.

They won we're talking about it.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 5 months ago

Because of what happened at Stonehenge.

juststopoil.org

The organization itself posting it on their site doesn't mean people are hearing about it. Pretty sure the intent is to get the message to people who don't visit their site regularly.

There are news articles about this recent juststopoil protest from almost all of the major news outlets. Here's one from the associated press.

People are hearing about it.
