And I still say doing a stunt that even makes it look like you’ve done some real damage to Stonehenge right in the middle of a religious festival does not make you look like the good guys. People in another thread said it spread awareness. Who isn’t aware? I’m fully aware of climate change and there’s fuck all I can do about it.
Not only did they decide to do it in the middle of a religious festival, they did it in the middle of a festival that’s part of a religion that worships nature.
Lots of things but the easiest would be to find local orgs that have already developed political strategies relevant to your local political context and work with them. They can fill you in on the rest.
Climate change won’t be addressed until there is a much larger movement that can flex serious political power. Think civil rights movement—that’s the kind of organizing we need.
There is much work to be done and not all of it is physical. I don’t know the specifics of your condition but you are here posting on social media. At minimum, there is likely a need for similar work to be done in support of your local orgs.
Again, if you find some local folks doing such work, I am sure they would help you find your niche.
So you’re saying don’t look like you’re vandalizing an ancient monument during a religious festival held by nature worshipers? I agree and that was my point.
I don’t know exactly how I would spread awareness, but I know exactly how I wouldn’t: Making people think I damaged a beloved ancient monument during a religious festival… a religious festival, as someone else pointed out, for people who venerate nature.
How about, as an idea, paint bombing Shell Oil headquarters?
That is what I was hoping to hear.

But at least it was not permanent vandalism.
Industrial sabotage is whats needed at this point imo.

Sounds like maybe you are lacking some awareness around this issue.
Okay, you tell me exactly what I’m supposed to do.

Okay, now what can I do when I’m so sick that I have to rest for hours after walking the dogs for 30 minutes?

They answered what you can do and you completely ignored it.
I didn’t ignore it. I read it. What did you want me to say about it specifically?
Like half of the world is in denial.
How would you spread awareness that translates to action?
Denial is not lack of awareness.

If you’d been paying attention, you’d know it wasn’t permanent from the get go.
