I’ve got a fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty baby, and I’ll write your name: Just Stop Oil paint private jets hours after Taylor Swift’s lands

Two Just Stop Oil supporters have painted multiple private jets on the airfield where Taylor Swift’s jet landed mere hours before. They are demanding that the incoming UK government commit to working with other governments to agree an equitable plan to end the extraction and burning of oil, gas and ...

I think this sends a much stronger message than stone henge
- Those idiots destroying paintings and monoliths belong behind bars. That won't convince anyone with even half a brain to think. Just destroys something and makes everyone angry.
  
  destroying paintings and monoliths
  
  But... they didn't do either of those things. They threw soup at glass, and for the Stonehenge thing they used washable powder paint. They were publicity stunts with no damage done.

  If only you were so vitriolic about the fossil fuel execs destroying the entire planet.
  
  Destroyed? Let's talk about that.
  
  As you know, Stonehenge has been standing in the rain for 3,000 years.
  
  Following the industrial revolution, fossil fuel emissions made that acid rain. It attacked every cultural artifact standing outdoors for decades.
  
  I think that the people who did that belong behind bars.
  
  Have you ever seen the pictures of the ocean after the gulf oil spill? They never did fix that - they just sprayed chemicals that sunk the oil to the bottom of the gulf, creating a dead zone (with help from agricultural chemical runoff from the Mississippi River). And the people there never did get treated for all their medical issues, even though most of their food comes out of that ocean. That's also why we need Medicare for all btw - so we can make sure the EPA, CDC, and other government organizations are actually doing their job and people are actually taken care of when something goes wrong.
  
  Hear me out, painting private planes don't effect 98% of humanity not everyone has an interest in the arts.
  
  yep. I can get behind this one
- Almost as if when you target the problem it sends a better message than doing some random shit.
- So close together? Probably not. Look at the comments. everyone is just talking about Stonehenge.
- The fact that most comments here seem to be talking about stone henge says otherwise. If not for what happened to stone henge recently, people might not have paid this much attention to this.
And that's the kind of protest that people get behind.
Big oil gonna subpoena every upvoter

Do your part to make them waste money
Hear me out. Why don't we spray StoneHenge on the private jets ? one stone at a time, with old fashioned trebuchets
- Wait a minute, that doesn't sound like painting at all!
  
  No one ever said you can't paint with a trebuchet. Sounds very artistic
  
  Rock-based paint.
- or just eat the rich...
- rock and stone!
- Who builds a stone hedge?
Finally a great action from those folks!made my day.
See, there you go. Direct impact on people who have an impact, and you made the news.
They leveled up today.
Now that girl is hot!
- Tfw no direct action GF :(
- And that's how you get people to click on the article
Great stuff! Disappointing that the article didn't mention how they managed to get on the tarmac.
- There's usually nothing more than a chain-link fence.
  
  Yeah, but you get instantly get 5 stars
Wait until they find out how much it's going to cost them to repaint the jets that they vandalized.
- Damn, guess it’s better to let the environment collapse and our species to go extinct because capitalism and money is more important.
  
  I didn't say that I disagreed with their goals. I just understand that they did hundreds of thousands of pounds of damage to those jets that will make absolutely zero difference to their carbon footprint and will probably be held financially responsible. A big win for the activists for sure.
- Oh no!
  
  Anyway...
- Who cares about that, the rich can foot the bill.
  
  They will and they won't care. It will do nothing to change anyone's mind but will harden public opinion against the extremists.
- Actually about 0$ because they always use stuff thats removable with water. Otherwise they would be bankrupt.
  
  Plus trespass at the airport plus cleaning and testing all of the external instrumentation plus...they can really stack it on.
  
  It looks like turmeric
- Can't squeeze blood from a stone. The cost to repaint those jets is going to be a lot more than they can ever recoup from the activists.
  
  It's apparently water soluable so the paint should come off easily. The expensive part is going to be cleaning the engines and external instruments if they need to be cleaned and reccalibrated or recertified. The courts have been handing out serious sentences running into the multiple years so they may have that coming as well.
:D
fuck the swifties.

i thought nkotb or beatles fans were dumb...but swifties are a special kind of dumb. maybe we should spray them.
- Why do you have to ruin good things? I dont like taylor swift but if you do what does that have to do with the artist itself. Her music can be good while shes a bad person.
  
  The comment you're replying to make no mention in the quality of her music. It is purely commenting on the fan's obsessions. You can like an artistic without being a fanatic.
  
  think of michael jackson. what is it...21 video testemonies of children saying he licked their buttholes? thats why we do not listen to his shit.you cannot seperate the artist from the art.
Then they're going to just pay some people to clean it off, cost more money, consume more energy. Publicity stunt.
- Yes, that's literally what activism is about.
  
  Like when Ghandi went and made salt, that was the definition of a publicity stunt.
  
  No, activism is about taking part in making a real change. If anyone really wanted to make a real change they'd have to give up their freedom. This doesn't change anything, carbon emissions will still increase.
Didn't they paint the wrong jet?
- No.
  
  Literally couldn't, all private jets are part of the problem.
