Cannot stress enough that a new paint job is not the kind of action that’s going to fix jack shit. More than likely, it’s barely an annoyance. Few people on the planet have not heard the message already. If you don’t want them joyriding a massive yacht everywhere, remove the yacht.
Are you volunteering?
Uh. Lemme check. Yes. We’re well past the “please stop killing me, it’s really mean :(” stage. They know. They are choosing to jetset anyway.
If the disgustingly rich haven’t shifted their focus by now, they’ve basically made their stance known already and stuff like this strikes me as just toying around. It makes activists feel like they accomplished something, and then it’s rectified quite literally the same day and everyone continues about their business.
Wanna join in or would your parents worry?
So what have you done yourself? Stolen any boats?
It’s too easy to sit and criticise other peoples protests from the comforting you gaming chair.
Its self masturbatory. It makes themselves feel like they did something but grosses out most other people. These types of activist whose strategy is to do something shocking just to get press are always counter productive. As if they can’t reason how they’re speaking to the choir
I feel like I know your opinion on climate protests blocking roads etc now…
Not just my opinion. You would know what the majority and growing opinion on it is. Which is why most of those protest are backed by fossil industries. They stopped trying to fight these groups and started funding the most annoying of them.
Team Orca!
