    There’s zero chance that protesting Stonehenge will improve the future, they’re just rocks.

    Protesting an oil refinery might have better odds tho.

      Zero change is pretty damn impressive confidence intervals, and oil refineries are much easier to cover things up/rewrite the story at

        Even easier to rewrite history when someone is attacking something like Stonehenge. “Just a bunch of idiots that don’t really care about the problem, they’re just trying to get attention for themselves.” And is that all that far from the truth? IT is 100% about getting attention the only thing that’s debatable is whether it’s attention for the cause or attention for themselves.

        The problem isn’t that people don’t know global warming exists, the problem is they don’t care. Sure, being an asshole gets you attention, but it doesn’t influence anyone to help with a cause. So whatever their intent, these kinds of actions are just selfish attention seeking.

          So you want them to break into a secure facility and probably get federal charges instead of some rocks?

          Cause these rocks are special rocks to you?
