Almost as if when you target the problem it sends a better message than doing some random shit.
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.
So close together? Probably not. Look at the comments. everyone is just talking about Stonehenge.

And that's the kind of protest that people get behind.
They leveled up today.
Finally a great action from those folks!made my day.
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
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
Wait until they find out how much it's going to cost them to repaint the jets that they vandalized.

Yeah, this I can get behind. Fuck those guys painting Stonehenge, but this? Yeah, go ahead.
Controversial opinion: whats the point of stonehenge if there is no humanity? Its not like it fosters some ecosystem or smth for other species, its a historical piece which holds sentimental value to us humans.
If we continue to use oil, we will for sure fuck up humanity. The act was controversial but the message needs to be looked at
Yeah but that is the problem. These people keep on trying to destroy art and historical sites just to get the point across.
I know the point, we all know the point and there is NOTHING we can do about it. It's ll in the hands of politicians and wealthy assholes. Destroying beautiful things or historical artifacts isn't doing anything to further the cause, it's not doing a single shit to teach humanity (or better, those politicians that actually can stop climate change). It's the same as those protests that stop traffic. You only piss people off and cause ambulances to not arrive in time at hospitals.
You're doing it wrong.
With that attitude we can just about go ahead and kill ourselves, what's the point, right?
My point is that trying to destroy stonge henge and art just to get attention to your cause is doing the cause a disservice. If anything it gives oil producers ammonto say "see how idiotic they are? They don't know what they're doing, climate change isnt real"
Stop punishing all of humanity for what is caused and controlled by a select few. Destroy rich assholes airplanes, that I can get behind. Leave art and historical sites alone.

The guys doing Stonehenge at least tried. They used a powder they thought would just come off in the rain.
