Stonehenge monuments that have stood for thousands of years appear unscathed after climate protesters were arrested for spraying orange paint on them.

    I think it’s a bit unfair they call it just “paint” when it was merely cornstarch that would wash off by itself.
    There’s a huge difference in the degree of vandalism if it’s something that wash off by itself.

          First of all, you have no proof that it was I who stole the moon.

          Second of all, after I did steal the moon, I put it back.

        I’m sorry, I think you mean “blasting the pyramids with photons.”

          Disgusting. What monsters! Mountains need darkness, are they trying to make them sleep deprived and angry? That’s how volcanos are made…

      This is by design and most people fell for it entirely. Even the second highest content in this thread is carrying water for big oil.

      It’s possible. And I think it’s likely. That the activists wanted this exact news cycle, where they falsely report that there is damage, gaining widespread coverage, and drawing attention their way, only for people to later learn that it was temporary and grow to respect the act.

        Possibly. I’d imagine the vast majority of people don’t see the followup that there wasn’t damage, here, or the Mona Lisa, or the other events. The goal was outrage coverage for sure, and without causing damage so anyone who actually cares is fine with it. The media will just call it paint, and now that the potential for damage is clear they’ll stop talking about it.

      Paint washes off also given enough time.
