In 1000 years scientists will find the paint residue and people will appreciate it as an interesting historical fact that Stonehenge was once vandalized by a psyop meant to hurt climate change organizing

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

"Despite our image of Stonehenge as a grey, austere structure, during the late Tupperware/Wrapper Culture at the LTBIIIb-c boundary, local religious cults donned black masks and dyed it a brilliant orange while conducting their rites."

MY TREATS MY TREATS THERE’S ORANGE PAINT ON MY TREATS THEY’RE RUINED
That's just my jice wich i spil
But the fucking rocks are still there just look at them mission accomplished
Fr just look at them from a different angle
I mean shit, if I was touristing and needed a treat selfie, how much cooler is getting one when Something (minor) Happened, rather than the old boring rocks that everybody has?

even if Just Stop Oil isn't a "psy op" loaded to the gills with agents provocateurs taking money from an oil heiress and is completely sincere activism, it's fundamentally a reformist organization engaged in theatrics. You aren't going to mitigate the damage of climate change, let alone end it, within the confines of ongoing capitalism.

The waiting for two years or the spontaneous decision to visit, the principal contradiction of our time
If memory serves they used something water soluble, didn’t they?
I feel like Just Stop Oil's whole thing is doing something completely harmless that still gets idiots mad so yeah.
People are too focused on the washable paint, not focused enough on climate change, and even less focused on the underground base beneath Stone Henge where Dr. Andonuts and Apple Kid are being held hostage.
this person only found out about Stonehenge two years ago?
Maybe, but you can't conclude that from the sentence at all? It simply says it's a place they've wanted to go to for 2 years. I know about Stonehenge, but haven't really thought "Y'know, I want to go visit that," but maybe that'll change.
just stop oil is 100% a psyop wtf
The most hilarious part of this whole thing is the Daily Mail having to reluctantly pretend to be on the side of the neo-pagans they usually consider hippy parasites because they were mad it interfered with summer solstice.
now i want to pressure wash it
What's with people saying this is a psyop?
As far as I know from my memory, it is organized by a bunch of rich kids and also the org gets its money from oil excs, shady stuff in general from their organizing
it isn't funded by oil execs 🤦♂️ don't just say random shit from memory
It's funded by Aileen Getty, whose dad owned Getty Oil (which was bought by Pennzoil who was bought by Shell).

"Saying random shit from memory" seems to be a recurring problem with Hexbear.
It came to me in a dream

stupud
The people calling it a psyop are?
every form of lib activism can be called a psyop since they can all be ridiculed by the media. and some actual based forms of activism can be shown to randoms and they will :chud-rage: anyway
Can you go into this in more detail?

Misdirected anger is one hell of a opiate
For one of the parasite in chief with idiot hat's many useless celebrations they projected a whole bunch of royal worshipping propaganda onto Stonehenge, so as far as I'm concerned this is far less offensive than that.
