The move comes the day before celebrations for the Summer Solstice.
You're viewing a single thread.
In the words of not the mandalorian, this is not the way.
Using water-soluble paint is not the way.
Using soup is not the way.
Using powder that will wash itself away is not the way.
Blocking a street for a couple hours is not the way.
Glueing yourself to a pole is not the way.
What is the way then? Sitting quietly in the corner? Signing a petition on Change.org? Waiting for the politician that takes oil money to have a change of heart?
I don't claim to have the answer, but this is not the answer. Ruining a unique unsolvable mystery of human past is dumb. Who's feathers does it ruffle anyway?
But all those actions are exactly same as signing petition. Just louder and in many cases made more about the protesters then the protest. It's more like doing something so that you feel you tried and media writes about it which males you feel like you did the change. But nature doesn't give two shits about the protests neither is the current economy of consumption which leads us to the disaster. Being on the internet, discussing this matter right now is contributing to the problem and only shows that our life style, which we are happy with is the problem.
And yeah blocking the street causes much more pollution plus losses off everyone, so not sure what's the goal there either
