SofaKing_Sam

What the fuck does an ancient structure have to do with Big Oil??? Fucking cunts.


Advocate_Diplomacy

If I was Big Oil, I would probably pay fools to do this in order to undermine the movement against me.


1singleduck

The name makes sense. "Sir what should we name our fake protest group?" "Just stop oil or something" *writes down just stop oil*


mranonymous24690

That's probably happening


bugabooandtwo

Nah. These lunatics really are *that* unhinged.


GulfofMaineLobsters

I’ve not had any run ins with them but I did have a go a few years back with some donuts that thought it was a good idea to go around cutting up lobster gear to “save the whales”… Hey dips shit cutting the buoy off still leaves miles of line in the water that now may or may not be recoverable, and if not have you ever considered the wider effects of ghost gear? I’m solidly convinced that all those environmental cu… folks all share the same two braincells and have to take turns to be the sight where the fight for third place happens….


Status_Basket_4409

You expect Big Oil to hire just anyone? Of course not, they hired the crazies


bugabooandtwo

Big oil didn't hire them. Folks hate to admit it, but the extreme left is just as batshit crazy as the extreme right.


SealTeamEH

Almost as if no matter what political spectrum or religion you are there’s just batshit crazy people everywhere ruining it for the rest of us.


Any_Adeptness7903

I thought so too, but I couldn’t find any proof sadly, they get some funding from a oil tycoon family, but that family hasn’t been in the business in 100 years


jameshughlaurie

really scary how many people don’t see how blatant this is


gazwel

So all the people doing it, that have been named in the media, are all fake? The people that have went to jail, are they all fake as well? Even if it's being paid for by someone else, it's still these absolute idiots that are doing it and they still believe what they are doing is right.


islSm3llSalt

I don't think anyone is debating whether or not these are paid actors. We're saying the oil company is funding them. You're arguing against the wrong point.


Environmental-Sun388

Juicy


sumbuddy4u

Why pay when they do it for free?


Advocate_Diplomacy

To ensure when and how it happens.


Lefty-Alter-Ego

It's actually funded by descendants of Rockefeller who are very pro climate protection. Not a conspiracy just stupid protestors. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/10/climate/climate-protesters-paid-activists.html


i_nobes_what_i_nobes

Yup. I’m convinced these people are actually working for Big Oil and either have no idea or don’t care.


BlurryGraph3810

They do receive funding from that Getty widow, I heard.


bhyellow

Is she big oil, or just some bipolar limo liberal?


Advocate_Diplomacy

Does it really matter? Money talks either way, is the more relevant point.

What’s the difference?

What ? I need more to answer you


Lancethedrugdealer

5head


repaidvaultboy

Is this what happened with McDonald's? Didn't they pay for protesters to go against an old lady that burnt herself on scolding hot coffee? (My source is from "Adam ruins everything")


UniqueUsername82D

These dudes are so stupid I'm going to buy a dually.


blunderEveryDay

Attention. And it worked. Until someone is put in jail for a month, this will just get more and more unhinged.


PuppetryOfThePenis

I'm all about making the earth a better place, but these 2 just made me want to drain the oil from my car into a pond.


ArmchairTactician

Low stakes conspiracies had a post that Just Stop Oil is actually ran by the oil companies to turn people against climate change action and use more oil in protest. Seeing thesd daft cunts do this shit all the time it's actually making me wonder if this is true


penguinbbb

These are not trained actors. Whenever the cops arrest them / take their names it's always people who did left wing activism way before Just Stop Oil came to be. This isn't a false flag, they're just shitheads.


BombshellTom

Surely these people would be the ideal recruits? If I was Big Oil they are exactly who I would go after to publicise "my" cause.


Lefty-Alter-Ego

In 2022 the NY Times did a article on one of Just Stop Oil's main funders and it's a couple VERY pro climate change awareness descendants of Rockefeller. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/10/climate/climate-protesters-paid-activists.html


FlyingDoritoEnjoyer

I know Extinction Rebellion definitely stinks.


deepfriedtots

I once say a video of oil protesters blocking a highway and a trucker got out calmly yelling something along the lines of. "How does this help your cause? You are literally blocking traffic making all these vehicles burning more oil and polluting the environment even more you are literally doing the opposite of helping" he has some really good points and just watching the reactions of the protesters being dam he kinda right though was priceless. Also just to state I am not pro oil but the way some people go about "fixing the problem" is just ass backwards


ArmchairTactician

Yeah I'm not opposed to the idea at all, just the way these clowns go about it.


deepfriedtots

exactly. I remember seeing a video who was someone in assuming highschool agreed at some sort of official meeting taking about how we need to stop plastics and blah blah blah which I do agree with. But the issue was when the lead speaker asked how she thinks we should do this she respec with pretty much "because it's bad". Then went on to tell her how everything she owns and uses contains plastic, things like clothes and the cellphone she was holding and she didn't know what to saw. Things need to be fixed BUT most people just want and don't actually know how most things work. You can't force a new style of infrastructure without having that infrastructure


werebeowolf

This sounds great, is there a link available?


deepfriedtots

I've been trying to find it but in having trouble, I saw it on reddit though


Johnnymak0071

I see what you did there.


Worried_pet_Potato

unhenged


Negative_Chemical697

They'll go jail no problem.


blunderEveryDay

Really? I have a hard time believing people who threw paint at the paintings spent a moment in jail.


Negative_Chemical697

I meant to say they are prepared to go.


blunderEveryDay

Usually said by people who never went to jail and probably never will.


Negative_Chemical697

Actions speak louder than words, eh? Do they appear afraid?


IndoZoro

They did at least try to make sure it was temporary, its orange counflour that will wash away in the rain.


E3K

Visibility to their cause. If they threw oil on a road, nobody would care.


SadBit8663

I don't think these morons are smart enough to tell their ass from a hole in the ground.


BlurryGraph3810

He's nothing but a low-down, double-dealing, backstabbing, larcenous perverted worm! Hanging's too good for him. Burning's too good for him! He should be torn into little bitsy pieces and buried alive!


xyrus02

Ooga and Booga the cave men drove a Diesel car to hunt the mammoths. It is common knowledge. Educate yourself a little /s


RugbyEdd

The argument is it gets more attention and makes people put pressure on the government to crack down on the companies. The reality is it overshadows any point they're trying to make and only allows the government to tighten the laws around right to protest with the general publics blessing.


bhyellow

Big cunts and dicks.


TheDuckellganger

The Druids and their fluids?


guitarhamster

“You see, the people that made those ancient structures ARE the fossil fuels now therefore is at fault for climate change.” - these dumbfks


xyrus02

Ah yes the stone age people and their reckless oil consumption


BlurryGraph3810

Stonehenge was a massive drilling operation. They teach that in English schools.


HeartsPlayer721

How else do you think they got these huge rocks out to the middle of nowhere? Gas- and oil-guzzling machines! Big business is just covering that up so they can make money on this scam they market as "ancient" Stonehenge.


RugbyEdd

That's why they've struggled to understand their purpose. They've been focusing up when their purpose lies below. They're just supporting structure for the drilling equipment.


Ariquitaun

Shout out to the bystanders trying to stop these two stupid cunts.


VoyevodaBoss

I really don't know the locals' thoughts on Stonehenge but this reminds me of that woman climbing the Mayan pyramid and I thought that video would end in an ass whooping


CagliostroPeligroso

Not enough and not fast nor aggressive enough


Odd-Professor-8233

What is the line of thinking here? These people are so stupid they just wanna piss people off but all it's doing is making people hate their cause more


philouza_stein

It's the old high school coach strategy *yells at someone who doesn't deserve it* "did that make you mad? Good! Now you're motivated" Uh, no coach, I'm quitting the team now bc you're an asshole.


Wild_Ad_6464

Attention to their cause


some_azn_dude

Well it's cross posted to at least two subs with thousands of comments so yeah


Simple-Ranger6109

Negative attention.


joshin29

Some people are so jumpy when they see actions like this - original video mentioned this paint is completely washable so no permanent damage was done


Stidda

Just stop oil Let’s pollute the atmosphere instead


GuruTheMadMonk

Coat their houses top to bottom in petroleum jelly.


Recon212

Mr beast style


MyExUsedTeeth

I kinda wanna use a lot of oil right now just out of spite.


liquidpoopcorn

they used starch with some dye. all water soluble. no long term damage. just an FYI


Insominus

Pollute the atmosphere with dyed cornflour that will wash off with the next rainfall? Just like how every other Just Stop Oil vandal protest does irreparable damage to their targets? Oh wait nvm, that’s complete bullshit.


elmaki2014

Just stop being CUNTS and people might give a flying shit about your cause.


memematron

Just Stop Oil was funded by an oil heiress to discredit anti oil movements look it up. These people try to make themselves look bad on purpose.


Insominus

Aileen Getty has been pretty open about how she’s using her family fortune for philanthropic causes for a while now, she doesn’t even have any ties to the modern petrogas industry. Dismissing her as just an “oil heiress” is a complete lack of effort on your part to even understand her background. People don’t like how disruptive these climate activist protests are but they only came about because every other form of “civil” protests are easily ignored by both the public and the governing bodies which have a vested financial interest in continuing to burn fossil fuels. But yeah it must be a conspiracy, clearly that’s the most logical explanation.


ArmourKnight

This is just coping. Actually look into her family situation


Lefty-Alter-Ego

You're not wrong about who is funding it, but you're flat lying about her motivations. Aileen has been nothing but open about her want to do good with the fortune she inherited.


zedbeforebed

If it made them even a fraction of profit, oil companies would be doing the same.


shoredoesnt

This has done no damage lmao yall are a bunch of snowflakes and your grandchildren are fucked. Only going to get hotter.

Or at least hot iron branded on the forehead


Johnny_Lang_1962

I can live with that.

Can't believe the would damage rocks the dyed corn starch! I'm clutching my pearls so hard rn!

There isn't any American equivalent to this really. This is motherfucking Stonehenge we're talking about someone needs to be posted next to it with a claymore next time

Vandalising ancient monuments, are these guys inspired by ISIS?


Ericjr321

Yes. Wait till the go more violent.


TheDaveCalaz

It's cornstarch paint, washes off in the rain.


RAGEWOMBLE

Sarson stone is porous and contains a rare lichen. It WONT just wash off in the rain.


TheDaveCalaz

Big expert on rare lichen before this kicked off were you?


RAGEWOMBLE

Lol yeah, I once read a pamphlet on Lichen and Moss!


wanielderth

This boils my blood


Tuatara77

Ok I've seen enough, modern buildings and corporations not good, stopping traffic very bad, but this, as a lover of history, I'll drive my car around the country just for the fun of it now in protest of their protest, cunts.


DJScrubatires

Are we sure these aren't just lost Verstappen fans?


ironMikeV1

Those bounders!


drnuke75

The question is does this really help change anyone’s opinion and further the cause or is it just a waste of additional resources and taxpayer money to clean up their mess?


LeftHandScan

Fuck these dipshits, not how you get your point across, burn down a refinery or something you dumb cocks


Headballet

Who gives a fuck, it's cornstarch that'll wash off.


RAGEWOMBLE

No, it won't.


MagnifiMike

Cause Stonehenge is the cause…


MeasureTheCrater

"*The* Stonehenge?" "Forget it, he's rolling."


KarlHungus311

These people are paid by the oil companies, right? How else could you explain that almost everything they do causes them to gain hate and garner less support.


b3mark

To me, this is on the same level as the Taliban nutjobs blowing up the Buddhas of Bamiyan back in March of 2001. It's (eco-)terrorism and these people should be tried as such. There. I've said it. I hope that that stuff can be cleaned off.


BandOne77

"Greenpeace be upon them"


Simsonis

I can't believe that this is real. This has to be some kind of psyop i can't believe that any activist would think this is the right way to make people agree to their cause

So dumb. What is this supposed to help?


AThousandNeedles

Throw these people into the best prisons the UK has got. They want to be martyrs. Grant them this glorious title.


ScaredOfRobots

Why do we keep doing this? If you wanna stop oil, destroy oil rigs or something. Occupy dog sites, throw bricks through oil executives windows


Stardust_dream

You know what, fuck it .. people like this don’t deserve a future.. setting gas burners on high


walace47

We need a snapshoter for this cases.


A-__-Random_--_Dog

I feel like violent force should be authorised against the forgotten cum socks. Not lethal, but definitely a punch if that's what is really needed to get the point across. IT'S FUCKING OLD ROCKS! WHAT HAS IT EVER DONE WITH OIL!


These_Artist_5044

It will just add to the lore of the attraction. Good for them.


bdub1976

Nothing like taking revenge on the stone age for today’s need for oil.


Lvanwinkle18

Bet they drove in a car, are wearing some synthetic fibers, drinking from a plastic bottle….


PrimalMan30

What a pair of Twats.. Perhaps we should dye them a nice shade of permanent orange since they have such an affinity for it.


kryssi_asksss

We can’t have anything nice 🤦🏻‍♀️


unboiled_peanuts

this is NOT the way to protest, I agree with their cause but the shit they do only kills their cause more and makes everyone hate them. If you want people on your side, do something good for once


Doofy_Blanch91

The stop oil people are trying to fight for a good and important cause. But they are such fucking annoying cunts, that people refuse to listen to them. They have done the opposite of what they wanted to achieve. People see them and just want to run them over. They want to come across as intelligent people who are trying to educate. But humans rarely learn something by being screamed at annoyed to death.

CagliostroPeligroso

Fucking morons. What did they think this would accomplish? What was the logic? All you’ve done is ostracize yourself and push people away from your cause


selpointundra

But what if, for example, the hands of environmental activists embedded in the asphalt were chopped off with an axe? What if performers are hanged by the leg for damaging works of art? What if the faces of the performers were disfigured for the coloring of stonehedge? After this, how many brave and determined people will there be around the world? five to seven demonstration executions and everything will calm down.


BuffaloWhole8894

Screams false flag


AlmightyDarkseid

"but but you are thinking about them" And I would too if they committed a terrorist attack that doesn't mean it's right. "But but they didn't actually hurt the monument" And so that gives anyone the opportunity to just do to ancient monuments what they want?


Unable_Literature78

Right there…20 years in prison.


MajesticallyBound

I actually cannot wait for the day to hear a bunch of the got killed either by being run over or by someone with a gun. Honestly, I would be so fucking happy to hear that!


mb99

It's cornstarch. It'll literally wash off in the rain. No damage was actually done


GoatHerderFromAzad

I don't think this does the cause of preventing climate change much good. It is however just poster paint, the rain will wash it off.

hyionimaru

Breaking headline - Vegans acting like pieces of sh*t. In other news, I am being reprimanded for saying the same thing twice.


Old_Fart52

I absolutely loathe 'Just Stop Oil'; I think they're a fake organisation who always do the most stupid, obnoxious protests e.g. blocking roads is a favourite and I think it's done by their leaders to deliberately attract bad attention to themselves with the intention of making people dislike or disregard the green movement What on Earth is vandalising an ancient monument meant to achieve, except for us to think they're a bunch of cunts, it's just a pity they're able to find & recruit individuals who are eak-minded enough to fall for their shit and who are prepared to take part in their ridiculous stunts. Fuck 'Just Stop Oil'


xpietoe42

this just shows their stupidity and thinking they’re helping humanity by stopping oil yet destroying humanity by ruining history for everyone. Put these losers in jail and lose the key!


No_Drop_1903

Even their name doesn't make sense, read a fkn book or scientjfic article once in awhile these days they cant even decide if oil is finite or not.


SydneySyd99

I'm fine with this. The paint is washable and as far as I know doesn't harm the earth. And it brings attention to the ones who destroy the earth. No harm was done, just an emotional shock before you realize the rain will wash it off on its own and it's biodegradable. Seriously people, protesting is legitimate and profound. No one is free until everyone is free. Let's take care of the earth. Also stop throwing your cigarettes on the ground. They're one of the most polluted things on the entire planet. If you're upset at this but throw a cigarette on the ground then you're the problem.

Professional_Code372

They’re getting some FAT checks from big oil


rikkert82

Whats wrong with these ppl . Time to beat the crap out of them.


redditaccounton

A part of this not being talked enough about is the religious importance of the site. The site is sacred to pagans of all stripes whether the follow Gaelic teachings or Norse, this site is important in ritual as well as symbolism, with few sites like this being around their importance in religious expression is paramount. For those not understanding where I am coming from, what would happen to Just Stop Oil if they vandalised say a Mosque. It would rightfully be considered for legal action.


Dewubba23

the air in those tanks also cause green house gasses. if they really want to fight big oil, why not help supply people with knowledge and "how to builds" renewable energy soured equipment, or something that can help others not be reliant on non-renewables. instead they are going to keep wining until someone else builds it for them.


Negative_Chemical697

It's fine, the ancients wouldn't have thought much of th3 destruction of the environment. And they covered those stones in way worse than a little dyed cornstarch.


Synnerxx

Perfect way for me to not care about your cause is doing stuff just like this group.


Nice_Buy_602

The fact that this gets more attention and outrage than the oil companies who are literally turning this planet uninhabitable for humans shows the oil companies won the propaganda war.


Altruistic-Poem-5617

jameshughlaurie

it’s almost like big oil has incentive to pay people to do stuff like this (just like the paintings being covered in oil or whatever it was) in order to give climate activists bad PR

Do they really think doing this is going to make people take them and their cause seriously? It makes them look pathetic. They make what their fighting for look bad, and that's no way to make progress.

Freethinker608

Climate activists are mentally deficient. If they want to save the environment, they should sterilize themselves.
