@makavelismith ... I agree 100%. It's just the other side that whether some of us believe in it or not, there's people who do certain things (rituals) at certain times of the year and they, I very much believe, tap into darker entities that once those doors open, you can't close. However, I do hope that UK law is much more serious about punishment and holding those with accountability than how things are around here (in the USA). I didn't mean to come across the wrong way or piss anyone off or anything.
Vandalism is Vandalism. Graffitti is Vandalism. I don't care if it is on Stonehenge or an abandoned building in Anytown,USA. They should be arrested, prosecuted and jailed.
I understand your frustration with vandalism; it's a serious issue regardless of the cause. However, let's not lose sight of the bigger picture here. These activists are drawing attention to a global crisis that affects everyone. While their methods may be controversial, their intent is to spark a much-needed dialogue about our reliance on fossil fuels and the urgent need for environmental action. Instead of focusing solely on the act of vandalism, consider the message behind it. The climate crisis is an existential threat, and traditional methods of advocacy have often been ignored. Desperate times call for desperate measures. That said, balancing activism with respect for cultural and historical landmarks is crucial. There are ways to protest effectively without damaging irreplaceable heritage sites. Your point about the need for legal repercussions is valid, but it’s also important to engage with the underlying issues these activists are trying to highlight. Arresting them won’t solve the climate crisis, but listening to their message and pushing for systemic change just might.
I hate when people say this . There are good people on the world yes there seems to be more bad people. But it’s selfish to say this kind of comment when there is so many innocent kind hearted people out there . Plus imagine how scared you and your family and loved ones would be if an asteroid came ?

Going after Stonehenge is wild like how is that supposed to help their message. These ppl are so annoying and to me this is performative activism they just want an excuse to vandalize things all for the “message”.
It's understandable to be annoyed by actions that seem extreme or counterproductive. However, let's dig a bit deeper into why activists might choose such high-profile targets. The main goal of these activists is to raise awareness about the urgent need for climate action. Traditional methods of advocacy, such as petitions and peaceful protests, often fail to capture the public's attention or drive meaningful change. By targeting a globally recognized site like Stonehenge, they ensure their message reaches a wide audience and sparks conversation. While their tactics can be polarizing and may seem like mere vandalism, the underlying intention is to highlight the severity of the climate crisis. They aim to disrupt the status quo and force people to confront the pressing need for environmental reform. It's important to remember that these actions are born out of frustration with the lack of significant progress in addressing climate change. Though controversial, they are a call to action for a problem that affects us all. Instead of dismissing their efforts outright, we should consider the desperation driving these actions and focus on finding effective solutions to the issues they are trying to bring to light.
A few months back there was an AITA post on reddit where the OP is the father asking if he's the asshole for stating that the federal prison time and fines that his kid is looking at (for damaging private jets) is deserved for her actions. I wonder if the OP was her dad 😅
Is anyone gonna explain to them how many people starve and die if we ban oil, gas and coal? I expect their funding comes from billionaires with an agenda other than stopping oil.
AMEN. Been saying this for years, all this has nothing to do with the "environment", if it did, the globalists would stop driving their four cars, flying their private airplane fleets, they'd stop running their air conditioners in their multiple mansions etc. Its all about control, and they use well meaning people to suit their agenda.
It's a common misconception that banning oil, gas, and coal would automatically lead to mass starvation and death. The truth is that the transition to renewable energy sources is a complex process that aims to ensure energy security and sustainability while reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. Here are a few points to consider: 1. Transition Plan: Most advocates for renewable energy support a gradual transition rather than an abrupt ban. This transition includes developing renewable energy infrastructure, such as solar and wind power, while improving energy storage technologies to ensure reliability. 2. Economic Opportunities: Renewable energy sectors offer significant economic opportunities. Investment in renewable energy creates jobs in manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and research and development. This can offset job losses in the fossil fuel industry. 3. Technological Advancements: Advances in technology are making renewable energy more efficient and cost-effective. Solar and wind power costs have decreased dramatically, making them competitive with traditional energy sources. 4. Environmental Impact: Fossil fuels are a major contributor to climate change, which poses significant risks to food security, water resources, and human health. Transitioning to renewable energy can mitigate these impacts and protect vulnerable populations. 5. Energy Independence: Renewable energy sources can reduce dependence on imported fuels, enhancing national security and energy independence. Regarding funding, it's not accurate to assume that all climate activism is funded by billionaires with ulterior motives. Many grassroots organizations and individual activists are driven by genuine concern for the environment and the future of our planet. While there may be funding from wealthy individuals or organizations, the overall movement encompasses a wide range of supporters with diverse motivations. For a more balanced perspective, consider looking into reports and studies from reputable sources like the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which provide data and insights on the feasibility and benefits of transitioning to renewable energy.

Are you seriously equating vandalism with spray painting babies? This kind of hyperbolic nonsense is exactly why rational discussions about serious issues like climate change and environmental activism get derailed. Instead of making ludicrous comparisons, how about focusing on the real issue: the urgent need to address climate change and the desperate measures people feel forced to take to get attention for it? These activists are highlighting a legitimate crisis, while you’re trivializing it with absurd hypotheticals. It's time to wake up and engage with the actual problems facing our planet instead of resorting to baseless and inflammatory rhetoric.
Absolutely disgusting. I hope they throw the book at them and give them a few years in jail. I dare them to go to Egypt and pull some of that crap off, This pushes people away from your cause not towards it, WTF is wrong with these losers
Your outrage is a classic case of missing the point. These activists aren't targeting Stonehenge because they have something against ancient monuments. They're using it as a platform to draw attention to the catastrophic consequences of fossil fuel dependency. If it takes disrupting the status quo to make people like you notice, then maybe it's working. And honestly, your fantasy of them getting "a few years in jail" is laughable. They’re trying to save the planet from the grip of industries that are poisoning it, while you’re more worried about a few stones. Your priorities are as backwards as your understanding of the protest. If you’re so concerned about pushing people away from the cause, maybe educate yourself on why these drastic measures are deemed necessary. People are already being pushed away from their homes and livelihoods by climate change, but sure, let’s focus on the graffiti.
What does Stonehenge have to do with oil? It's really stupid and goofy, like when they threw tomato sauce at an oil painting. I'm all for people protesting, but if you're going to do some vandalism...maybe vandalize something that actually has some direct ties to whatever you're protesting.
Vandalizing Stonehenge or any other cultural icon is not about the target itself but about creating a spectacle that forces people to pay attention. Activists often aim for high-profile actions to get media coverage, which spreads their message further than traditional protests might. Protesters believe that by causing a disruption, they can spark a conversation and bring awareness to critical issues like climate change. The goal is to make people uncomfortable enough to think about the problems and demand change. While their methods might seem misguided or extreme, the underlying tactic is to draw as much attention as possible to their cause. Whether or not you agree with their approach, the idea is to use the shock value to amplify their message and urge the public and policymakers to take action on urgent issues like fossil fuel dependency.
I love the two people that stepped up and tried to stop the weirdos at Stonehenge, especially the first person. We need more folks like her in the world
The stone hedge one infuriates me that only that middle aged women tried to stop them & no one else helped her properly out of those people there. Disgusting country is being walked all over & terrorised by all these different groups 🤦♂️

You call people "absolute idiots" while clearly failing to understand the point. Activists targeting prominent landmarks like Stonehenge aim to draw significant attention to their cause, highlighting the urgency of the climate crisis. The real idiot here might be the one who doesn't grasp that the problem isn't with ancient people but with modern-day reliance on fossil fuels, which is unsustainable and damaging to our planet. Instead of dismissing their actions outright, try understanding the underlying message and the critical need for change.
@@benfaulkner4710 Then why fuck with ancient symbols? Do your shit to an oil refinery or something (but I guess you can't since they have security) For people who think they love the environment, you hate ancient places.

Yes let's stop harming the earth by destroying it! That's like trying to preserve a flower by stepping on it and expecting it to look the same before you stepped on it.
Your comment about hypocrisy is not only misguided but also deeply ignorant. Yes, activists may still use products derived from oil because our society is currently heavily dependent on it. This dependency doesn't invalidate their message; it underscores the urgency for change. They are highlighting the need to shift away from an unsustainable system, not claiming to have fully escaped it yet. Instead of deflecting with accusations of hypocrisy, try engaging with the real issues: the devastating impact of fossil fuels on our environment and the urgent need for sustainable alternatives. Your shallow critique adds nothing to the conversation but noise.
I wonder if ANY of the "#activists" know HOW their clothes were made. I guarantee there was oil, gas and other agents involved in the manufacturing process. 😂
Your comment reveals an utter lack of understanding about the issue at hand. The fact that modern society is heavily dependent on oil and gas doesn't invalidate the activists' message. It highlights the very problem they are fighting against: our overreliance on fossil fuels. Yes, their clothes were likely made using oil-based products-because our entire manufacturing system is entrenched in fossil fuels. The point of their activism is to push for a transition to sustainable and renewable alternatives, so future generations won't be forced into the same destructive cycle. Your guarantee only underscores the necessity for change and reinforces their cause. So, who’s the real hypocrite here? The activists trying to make a change or the people mocking them while benefiting from a flawed system?
@@stanleycostello9610 Oh, bravo, Sherlock. You've cracked the code! Yes, trucks currently transport items to stores, relying on fossil fuels because that's the infrastructure we've inherited. This is precisely the problem these activists are trying to highlight and change. The goal is to push for a future where sustainable methods replace these outdated, harmful practices. Mocking the status quo while failing to recognize the need for systemic change only shows how short-sighted and resistant to progress you are. So, who’s the real idiot here-the ones advocating for a better future, or those clinging to the past?
Do they even know what argument they're making anymore? They act like they're all for giving more than we take, but then take these things that are given to other people to enjoy away from us...

Your outrage is a classic case of missing the point. These activists aren't targeting Stonehenge because they have something against ancient monuments. They're using it as a platform to draw attention to the catastrophic consequences of fossil fuel dependency. If it takes disrupting the status quo to make people like you notice, then maybe it's working.
And honestly, your fantasy of them getting "a few years in jail" is laughable. They’re trying to save the planet from the grip of industries that are poisoning it, while you’re more worried about a few stones. Your priorities are as backwards as your understanding of the protest.
If you’re so concerned about pushing people away from the cause, maybe educate yourself on why these drastic measures are deemed necessary. People are already being pushed away from their homes and livelihoods by climate change, but sure, let’s focus on the graffiti.
Dozens of people lined up watching…one little lady with the courage to step in. Bravery is rare.
I hate these kinda people because they propose no solutions. Well we don’t all trust funds so we have to drive to work using gas.
That one person trying to stop them is a real hero
What does Stonehenge have to do with oil? It's really stupid and goofy, like when they threw tomato sauce at an oil painting. I'm all for people protesting, but if you're going to do some vandalism...maybe vandalize something that actually has some direct ties to whatever you're protesting.
Vandalizing Stonehenge or any other cultural icon is not about the target itself but about creating a spectacle that forces people to pay attention. Activists often aim for high-profile actions to get media coverage, which spreads their message further than traditional protests might.
Protesters believe that by causing a disruption, they can spark a conversation and bring awareness to critical issues like climate change. The goal is to make people uncomfortable enough to think about the problems and demand change.
While their methods might seem misguided or extreme, the underlying tactic is to draw as much attention as possible to their cause. Whether or not you agree with their approach, the idea is to use the shock value to amplify their message and urge the public and policymakers to take action on urgent issues like fossil fuel dependency.
They'll def NOT go to prison. And they'll immediately get bonded out by the billionaires who back these crazy movements.
Their moral compasses are off kilter!
I would like to see their calculation about how much oil they think has been used in building the Stonehenge, and how much oil is it using annually.
This!!!! What did Stone Henge ever do to them or their cause??
I love the two people that stepped up and tried to stop the weirdos at Stonehenge, especially the first person. We need more folks like her in the world
The stone hedge one infuriates me that only that middle aged women tried to stop them & no one else helped her properly out of those people there. Disgusting country is being walked all over & terrorised by all these different groups 🤦♂️
All the people simply yelling stop them should be named and shamed as well. Only 2 people besides the woman tried anything.
His dump in the pants analogy is funny! 🤣
just stop these muppets and get them therapy
Don't forgot the "Brandenburger Tor" in Berlin!
Commentary like yours seriously takes me from “meh they couldve done a more productive show” to now “i fully back them” bc you didnt even try to understand them
Where do they think their paint comes from? Hypocrisy; Thy Name is Just Stop Oil.
It comes from food-based dyes. Womp womp.
@@GreyKnight7777 last I checked dye is not the same as paint.
Last I checked they used dye and cornstarch, which is designed to wash away with the rain. Wipe that egg off your face.
@@GreyKnight7777ok. Then why is it all be reported as “paint” in order for something to be deemed a crime of defacing means that it is permanent. No egg on my face here sir. 😂. Keep on defending them. You’re doing a great job.
@@GoneAsGoneCanBe "Why is the corporate media lying about what happened in order to vilify the people protesting corporate cronyism" is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've heard all day, and I've already been on Twitter today.
To the one lady who valiantly attempted to stop them. I fucking love you. Well done.
No oil was burned in the assembly of Stonehenge….
"I'm 22, and I just committed a federal crime."
I always wanted to see Stonehenge. I can’t believe people are doing this.
These people bring NO ONE to their side.
All they do is piss people off.
"Damn those ancient people who created Stonehenge for their use of oil" Absolute idiots.
You call people "absolute idiots" while clearly failing to understand the point. Activists targeting prominent landmarks like Stonehenge aim to draw significant attention to their cause, highlighting the urgency of the climate crisis. The real idiot here might be the one who doesn't grasp that the problem isn't with ancient people but with modern-day reliance on fossil fuels, which is unsustainable and damaging to our planet. Instead of dismissing their actions outright, try understanding the underlying message and the critical need for change.
@@benfaulkner4710 Then why fuck with ancient symbols? Do your shit to an oil refinery or something (but I guess you can't since they have security) For people who think they love the environment, you hate ancient places.
Well the Federal Officer in charged with investigating this case come early Christmas the confession wrapped as a bow
I hope that can be cleaned up
They are founded by Aileen Getty, heir of the Getty oil family. She is billionaire, her grandfather made all the money. She gave around 4 million to this activist groups, so yes, they are founded by big oil 🤷♂️
Love your channel😊😂😂
They're children. 10 year old brains in 22 year old bodies.
5:06 okay this one single thing I actually approve of 😂😂
Yes let's stop harming the earth by destroying it! That's like trying to preserve a flower by stepping on it and expecting it to look the same before you stepped on it.
They said, the world will end LAST year, but the world still exists. Maybe they should just stop their madness?! 😡
For the "getting your crush's attention" part, could have compared it to *burning family photos* or *destroying their family Heirloom*
Just stop oil 4Head
They're about to learn how real spirits are.
The British Public need to bring back birching
but they have no problem wearing clothes and backpacks made of oil..
the hypocrisy
Your comment about hypocrisy is not only misguided but also deeply ignorant. Yes, activists may still use products derived from oil because our society is currently heavily dependent on it. This dependency doesn't invalidate their message; it underscores the urgency for change. They are highlighting the need to shift away from an unsustainable system, not claiming to have fully escaped it yet. Instead of deflecting with accusations of hypocrisy, try engaging with the real issues: the devastating impact of fossil fuels on our environment and the urgent need for sustainable alternatives. Your shallow critique adds nothing to the conversation but noise.
I'm fuming with rage, this monumental act of stupidity has rocked me to my core.
They're hurting their cause.
I wonder why do people film their crimes and another thing i don't understand is that destroying private property is not activism its just not
somehow this guy sounds like an even more chill penguinz0
I wonder if ANY of the "#activists" know HOW their clothes were made. I guarantee there was oil, gas and other agents involved in the manufacturing process. 😂
And how do the clothes (and other items) get to the stores? Trucks, I expect.
Your comment reveals an utter lack of understanding about the issue at hand. The fact that modern society is heavily dependent on oil and gas doesn't invalidate the activists' message. It highlights the very problem they are fighting against: our overreliance on fossil fuels. Yes, their clothes were likely made using oil-based products-because our entire manufacturing system is entrenched in fossil fuels. The point of their activism is to push for a transition to sustainable and renewable alternatives, so future generations won't be forced into the same destructive cycle. Your guarantee only underscores the necessity for change and reinforces their cause. So, who’s the real hypocrite here? The activists trying to make a change or the people mocking them while benefiting from a flawed system?
@@stanleycostello9610 Oh, bravo, Sherlock. You've cracked the code! Yes, trucks currently transport items to stores, relying on fossil fuels because that's the infrastructure we've inherited. This is precisely the problem these activists are trying to highlight and change. The goal is to push for a future where sustainable methods replace these outdated, harmful practices. Mocking the status quo while failing to recognize the need for systemic change only shows how short-sighted and resistant to progress you are. So, who’s the real idiot here-the ones advocating for a better future, or those clinging to the past?
Just stop oil...
Nevermind the toxic paint we spray on everything.
Do they even know what argument they're making anymore? They act like they're all for giving more than we take, but then take these things that are given to other people to enjoy away from us...
Bless that sweet old woman for being the first and one of the only ones to do something!
At this point I believe they deserve 20 years behind bars, if not life imprisonment
I honestly dont get their logic. You dont see me running around smacking windchimes to the ground screaming "stop putting bugs in candy suckers"
I wonder what those paints are made of and propelled with
These activists, and the way they’re going about these protests?… they’re gonna end up like that cult on the tv show *The Leftovers.* At the end of Season 1. Many are reaching a breaking point of patience.
Setting activism back years. Again.
They’re going to make a bigger impact from jail.
But aren't aerosols bad for the Ozone layer?
There is no excuse for vandalism. EVER.
We already know there is oil.
Lol, but isn't that smoke bad for the earth, too? The math is not mathing.
5 years prison,at least.
What is that orange goo they like to spray everywhere? It actually looks like it contains a fair bit of oil itself.
Many have said, and I thought it was BS, but am starting to believe that they are plants by big oil.
They can’t be this stupid. That’s the only thing that makes sense
Just for clarity, they didn’t use paint as has been erroneously reported in many places, it was cornflour and was washed off by the end of the day.
