“The rain didn’t get the tiny flecks of wheat out of the cracks” Yet somehow it’s clean. Why are you continuing to act like this is comparable to actual paint? You’re whining about something that’s literally not a deal in the slightest, you really should stop making free propaganda for oil companies
slight wording edit at the start
Nobody’s first thought when they read “paint” is corn flour that easily washes off. Headlines written like this play these kinds of semantics games with their headlines to drive angry engagement, or even to push a political agenda sometimes. The Guardian seems to run articles critical of the oil industry fairly often so maybe this isn’t sinister like that, I’d have to do more research on The Guardian and the article’s author to get an idea
I am for sure, all the articles I’ve seen on this have called it paint and it’s really disingenuous and frustrating. The way they describe it makes it sound like they took a can of paint and splashed it on the stones. I interpreted it that way at first and got pretty mad, imo there’s no good environmental message that’s sent by destroying the ruins of long dead civilizations. At least defacing classic European art can be seen as a protest against the colonialist attitudes that led to climate change, Idk how actually effective it is at forcing change but part of me gets some morbid satisfaction from it :3
Not misinformation, disinformation. You read the article, yet choose to act like this is comparable to spray paint or something else that won’t immediately wash off. This is like getting indignant bc somebody threw a couple eggs at a great pyramid. It’s stupid and irrelevant to climate change, but sharing articles where the title says they threw acid instead of eggs is just fucking wrong, and serves no purpose besides discrediting climate activism
Edit actually this article says nothing about corn flour, sorry for accusing you of ignoring that. That’s super shady and shitty on the Guardian’s part, a detail that majorly changes how actually harmful this act was
I mostly agree, but imo classic art is a much more valid target than Stonehenge or other historical sites. Some oil squirted onto cloth by an old white guy who’s been dead for 200+ years can be very pretty and can have some historical significance, but their loss isn’t anything close to a tragedy. What happened at Stonehenge would be inexcusable imo if it were coated with real paint that couldn’t be removed without ruining old carvings and stuff on it, as it is it’s just a stupid target. Fuck classic art, if people genuinely care more about preserving doodles made by slave owners than the environment, they should become climate activists to protect their precious art
Not paint, literally orange corn flour that’ll wash off with the first rain. Stop spreading disinformation for big oil pls. Idk why they went for this instead of classical art, but acting like this is some terrible evil crime is exactly what oil companies want you to think, they want you to root against people protesting climate change, no matter how tiny their vandalism is in the grand scheme of things

I wish she’d post on lemmy 196, this was a fun running gag :3
This is clearly irony! Trump’s just making an ironic joke, he’s always being ironic when he tells his voters he hates them! You just don’t get ironic humor smh
/s, ironic humor is a lie

Nah, he just really wants Gaza to burn and for everyone to let it happen, and thinks anyone not pretending nothing is wrong is a trump supporter
The same, but faster and with a lot more direct support. I’m agreeing with you that AOC isn’t a good ally to Palestine, I also don’t know of any liberals that are any better. I’m clearly not advocating to vote for Republicans who wanna “finish the job”, I’ll prob still vote for Biden even, I just hate that almost all Democrat voters and politicians are so desperate to cover up the evil shit being done by the IDF with American weapons, and are convinced acknowledging that will make Biden lose (tbh they might be right, I get the strong feeling most democrats wouldn’t vote for Biden if he did anything meaningful to slow down genocide in Gaza)
OK, I guess you need to work on both the genocide support and the blatant lying, then maybe leftists won’t hate you as much

Maybe if you didn’t support genocide you’d get a little less hate :3
It’s almost like liberals all want palestine wiped off the face of the earth or something🤔🤔🤔
Classic pugjesus, accuse people of being fascists for not ignoring genocide (: fuckers like him make it really hard for me to justify voting liberal, I’m sure plenty of other leftists have been turned away bc of liberals trying to defend genocide for Biden’s sake
