    If you’ve got better ideas, we need them, get out there and get on it. As it is, we’re sleepwalking into catastrophe.

      They did say what works and what doesn’t. Attack private jets and block oil refineries, don’t spray paint Stonehenge or paintings. It’s not hard to figure out what’s going to be popular and what isn’t.

        NOBODY SPRAYPAINTED STONEHENGE

        they threw corn starch on it. Corn starch.

        actually loads of people do spraypaint stone henge, but JSO didn’t.

          Yeah, people don’t care that it washes off easily, they don’t hear about that part, the point is that those actions aren’t popular, painting/blocking private jets is, so just do more of that instead?

              There’s that one time they did it, also the time they breached the private jetway in Schiphol and cycled around. Not sure if it happened more times.

                Did you know about this before searching it out? Their other activities?

                How many articles did it get in major papers approx? How many days reporting?

                  I didn’t search it out, that’s what I remember from it being reported on at the time, ie. the thing you asked me about.

            Hardly anyone supports painting/blocking private jets. Remember, nearly everyone believes they’re just temporarily embarassed millionaires.

        Nobody hears about them shutting down oil factories, attention getting stuff is why those are talked about.

        They never do any actual harm either, like Stonehenge was cornstarch, it’ll all be gone the next time it rains. They paint the glass in front of paintings, not the paintings themselves.

      My better idea is to not do dumb shit that actively turns people (voters) against the cause. Egg some politicians, paint some private jets, people love that shit.

      Besides just saying “AwArEnEsS”, what does JSO actually achieve?

      Every single person on the planet is aware of climate change, what we actually need to do is convince people to take action. JSO actively convinces people to vote against action on climate change.

          The point I’m trying to make is that despite the good stuff they may do, it’s overshadowed by the dumb shit that’s turning people against the cause.

          Those actions didn’t achieve much, and I’d say anything they did achieve has been undone by their other antics.

          Do you know anyone who has been convinced by JSO to take more action against climate change? It’s only people who are already onboard cheering them on.

          I know a few people who have become more anti green because of JSO, and general consensus among anyone I know is that JSO is doing more harm than good.

        I’m still trying to get my husband’s uncle to get off his easy out of “well I guess it’s happening, but humans didn’t cause it.” He, along with a lot of other people, are in an echo chamber. Obviously plopping pigment on monuments isn’t going to do shit to convince them, but I don’t know what will.
