The short-term survival and domination of the shittiest species … the sequel he never published.
Not graffiti on smooth stonework! Winston, fetch my clutching pearls!
And again they are getting attention.
I strongly suspect a funding channel originating from fossil-fuel producers.
Okay, assume that’s the case.
So the fuck what?
I keep seeing counterpoints that assume that intent informs effectiveness, when that’s demonstrably just not the case. If your statement is relevant, that means you must be able to draw a causal link between that hypothesis being true and the campaign being ineffective.
This was very brave. I applaud these activists. We should all do the same until politics listen and act accordingly.
Every time I see something like this my brain always assumes it’s people that actually have the opposite goal and are just trying to make actual activism look bad. Like how all of the “stop smoking” ads are made by tobacco companies. But in all honesty it’s probably just me overthinking it and these guys are just dumb.
What “stop smoking” ads are made by tobacco companies? When googling, I found a “Philip Morris-funded Foundation for a Smoke-free World”, but nothing about ads.
TRUTH was funded by tobacco giants—because the government made them. It was a settlement agreement, if I’m remembering correctly.
Vandalizing graves and museums - what a great way to get supporters and make people sympathetic to your cause…
I have further ideas - how about beating some pre-schoolers or burning a homeless shelter to protest global warming? Or perhaps throwing mud at the elderly? Drowning some puppies? Since clearly these people believe all publicity is good publicity, think how much buzz that would generate!
There’s a fair bit of evidence that it works. That’s why people keep on doing it.
Yeah, since they’ve solely done completely harmless shit up until now, why don’t they just murder some dogs? That’s the same thing!
What should they do?
Protest in the designated area so that we ignore them more easily? But not somewhere where it blocks cars? Maybe stop chanting to keep the noise down?
The normal protests don’t seem to work.How about actually protesting something that’s related to their cause? Blocking a highway is absolutely one of those. Or, if you want to throw paint at something, how about throwing it at an office of an oil company or a car/private jet of a CEO and not on a fucking grave?
I never said they should not protest at all or not inconvenience anyone, but vandalism of random property or cultural heritage? No, I will not support that.
They have and people whined about it. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/taylor-swift-private-jet-climate-activists-orange-paint-british-airfield/

No worries! Even native speakers make similar mistakes.
