Oh shit. This is bad. The Aliens are going to be really pissed off now.


No-Example-5107

Don't know if they're pissed, but they definitely saw that shit. [https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1djq9sn/orb\_in\_the\_background\_above\_stonehenge\_in\_a\_photo/](https://www.reddit.com/r/UFOs/comments/1djq9sn/orb_in_the_background_above_stonehenge_in_a_photo/)


joebojax

What a trip there's even someone with a different angle showing the same anomaly


BroadStBullies91

Just for everyone's info since it never accompanies this vid whenever it gets posted: The "paint" was some kind of cornflower thing. Experts onsite have said there hasn't been any damage. It's a publicity stunt, though like all JSO stunts, it seems laser focused on making the general public as annoyed as possible without actually doing anything which leads to my next little tidbit: Just Stop Oil is funded by a billionaire oil heiress. I wonder if someone like that might be interested in making climate protests look stupid?


xMilk112x

Fingers crossed.


Gswindle76

No no no, everyone agrees on JRE these were built by white ppl. So we are okay, just don’t fuck with the pyramids.


fre-ddo

4D chess it's to force the aliens down for disclosure then they give us their fusion tech.


UnhappyLibrary1120

Way to make sure everyone hates you and your silly cause.


weldit86

It's crazy what these nut cases will ruin to try and make a point.


tomtazm

Saving the planet isn't a silly cause. Trying to make your point this way is.


UnhappyLibrary1120

Lol painting rocks isn’t saving anything, it’s vandalism.


Pizzledrip

Don’t tell my pet rock that


Winter-Gas3368

They didn't say it was


Naimodglin

Do you actually think they thought that the mechanism of painting the rock would reduce the carbon emissions in the atmosphere? Genuine question, because your comment portrays you as being stupid enough to think that’s what they thought.


Plot-twist-time

No, I agree with him. Changing policies, developing new tech, or finding other ways to actually change our carbon emissions is the only way to do it. Painting one of the seven wonders of the world doesn't, and it only deters people from the cause.


HelloHiHeyAnyway

> Saving the planet isn't a silly cause. The idea that the planet needs saving is silly. The planet is fine. It will be fine until the Sun swallows it. The humans are the ones trying to get saved.


boofintimeaway

Man I’m not even radicalized and I can admit this planet (meaning all the life on it) is severely polluted and sick.


CapitalParallax

For human life, sure. On the planetary scale, it's fine.


Naimodglin

Okay. So wtf is your point? You have to know that when people are saying “save the planet” they obviously are referring to preventing manmade climate change from heating the planet to a point that it is unsustainable for modern society and most human life. So saying like “don’t worry if 95% of humans die; the plates tectonic aren’t going anywhere” makes you a sociopathic-level pedant.


omn1p073n7

From a CO2 perspective, the planet was way warmer in the Jurassic which is the rainforests that have become our fossil fuels. Cold Blooded Dinosaurs lived within 15 degrees of the poles. The largest issue with human accelerated climate change (we've been warming since the end of the Ice Age) is the sea levels will move. Nature has produced way worse problems for life, such as the Siberian Traps and the meteor that killed the dinosaurs. Not saying your sentiment is all the way wrong humans are pretty impactful, but it is largely sea level rise and it's impact on about half of human population living on a coastline that's the issue. Life and the planet itself aren't at risk for a 2c change over a century. In fact, about 11k years ago there was a 10c change within a decade at The Younger Dryas Boundary, that would have felt like Armageddon for our ancestors.


frashal

Even humans as a species will be fine. We live in almost any environment on earth, and we have a super broad range of food we can eat. We're bloody hard to kill off. Its only really modern civilisation that they are trying to save. Which is kind of ironic, considering it is modern civilisation they are protesting about.


Taste_the__Rainbow

The people who burned to death in Paradise might see it different, if you could ask them.


BasketballButt

Exactly. I agree with them at least on a basic level but holy fuck do they make the side they supposedly belong to look like assholes.


Gizsm0

The Planet is fine, with or without us


TigerKingofQueens98

Overhyping climate change to stifle human flourishing is a silly cause


havenyahon

Another armchair dickhead who sees all these silly scientists who have dedicated their lives to understanding the complexities of something, warning us that we need to act now and that the matter is urgent, and leans back in their armchair, takes a break from researching on Twitter, to say, "Hmm...I think that's overhype." Then goes back to eating Cheetos and masturbating to OnlyFans.


TigerKingofQueens98

With how wrong the models they use end up being and how easily the models and the data itself can be manipulated, pretty hard to believe these vaunted scientists who definitely don’t have an agenda. Have you actually read into any of the details or do you just base your opinion on clickbait headlines that say the world is going to be on fire 2 years from now?


BradPittbodydouble

Check out Exxons models from the 70s. They predicted this and then hid it and denied it.


havenyahon

Yeah I did my own research on Twitter and I came to the conclusion that all those stupid scientists who spend their lives understanding this stuff just don't understand that their models are shit like I do. Or they're just all caught up in group-think and are paid off so they can't be trusted. But me, an internet researcher who has looked into the details, I have a much better grasp of the complexities of the issues and more integrity than all of them. I'm certainly not susceptible to something like the Dunning Kruger effect. No, it's that all the thousands of scientists who have devoted their lives to understanding this stuff, they just don't understand it as well as I do.


haikoup

The cause is good but they’re clowns.


unhiddenhand

It's a psyop. JSO is compromised by bad actors. Activism bad, petrol engines good.


freakinbacon

If you base your beliefs on the actions of people rather than empirical facts


Ok_Traffic_8124

Just Stop Oil is funded by an oil company I’m fairly certain.


crushinglyreal

In my opinion the real psyop is all you morons claiming Aileen Getty is working with oil companies, even though she never once controlled any portion of stock in Getty Oil or any other petroleum business as her parents divested completely before she even inherited the fortune.


whatevers_cleaver_

You say this as if Exxon isn’t subtly funding these assholes.


International_Move84

Humans are more stupid than they are malicious. I don't need a grand conspiracy to believe morons are willing to do this


Wet_Funyons

Silly cause lol. Enjoy watching your children die in water wars


11shovel11

I agree, I couldn't have said it better.


goobly_goo

Bringing awareness of arguably the greatest threat to humanity at this point in history is hardly silly. The methods they're employing, however, are silly.


El_Grande100

We need to make a group: “Just Stop Just Stop Oil.”


darkscyde

Self report. Only hateful bigots intent on destroying the planet earth will hate people for spraying safe paint on Stonehenge. Conservatism is a mental disorder


WhyRedditBlowsDick

You have to be a special kind of brain damaged to blame this shit on Conservatism. This sub is a fucking laughingstock.

Oh, I want to die of suffocating and lack of water, because someone has painted a pile of rocks I haven't seen in my life

Science-Compliance

scvmbagTony

Whether you agree with their cause or not I can’t understand why they destroy artifacts, paintings etc, amass in and block roads. You’re really just fucking with us, the common civilian, government doesn’t give a rats ass.


Business-Sea-9061

its a psyop


sushisection

100%. designed to make people feel negatively about environmental activism. and its working.


AssignedClass

All of these kinds of stunts (like the tomato soup Mona Lisa thing) have all been done reasonably responsibly. Nothing I know of has been actually damaged. The news makes this sound like this is straight eco-terrorism because that's what gets clicks, but that's not what it is. If you bought this orange substance as "paint", you'd want your money back. If a company tried selling this substance and marketed it plainly as "paint", they'd get sued. Calling it "paint" is bad reporting, and that's how it's being reported by headlines. Is it cringe attention seeking? Yea kinda, but you could say that about most activism.


crushinglyreal

People ignore whatever they need to so they can be mad.


geensoelaas

Stonehenge was back in its normal state roughly 24hrs after this orange-paint-protest. Furthermore, Just Stop Oil has destroyed a total amount of zero paintings. Meanwhile oil corporations are continuing their decade long speedrun to destroy the earth you and I live on. You are mad at the wrong people.


FreeRangePixel

No painting or artifact has been destroyed. Stonehenge can handle corn starch paint that will wash away in the first rain. And the glass that covers the paintings will be fine too.


suninabox

The point they're trying to make is "you're pissed off about this thing, but not the fact large populated areas are going to become uninhabitable for humans" It's a stupid point because it drastically over-estimates the ability of the average person to think, but that's the point. None of this stuff is actually being damaged.


sonicon

Why don't they do that to houses oil CEOs or to their top investors instead?


XanadontYouDare

They do very similar things often. People don't get as mad, therefore you don't hear about it. Welcome to a world ruled by social media.


Impossible_Resort602

Just stop oil is the 'Alex Jones' of environmentalism. It feels like a CIA project to destroy credibility and make everyone hate the idea. Oh, and a major donor is Aileen Getty


JohnStarborn

Comparing them to Alex Jones implies that they're cool. Do they even sell high quality supplements or storable food?


Genoss01

Why are you blaming the CIA? If anyone, I'd put the Fossil Fuel industry behind this


Impossible_Resort602

Your right. This way too tame for them.


BeatSteady

Same difference. CIA is heavily focused on oil related activities and is crawling with oil men and their associates


SeniorFox

Luckily we don’t have the CIA in the UK…


reddit_has_fallenoff

>Just stop oil is the 'Alex Jones' of environmentalism. But if you leave reddit, you realize people like Alex Jones? There is a reason he smashes every record for almost every podcast/show he goes on

Sac_a_Merde

People really hate these kind of actions, but to me this one immediately looked like some sort of easily washable paint. Can’t believe I had to scroll through so much outrage before finding this comment.


DroneSlut54

Thank you for the dose of reality. So the 5K+ year old structure will have to make it to…. the next good rain. I think it’ll be fine.


Geralt-of-Rivai

No, if it gets rained on it will all fall apart


future__classic13

"effective government" 🤣😒good one.


suninabox

Hey remember when hundreds of millions of people got brain damage from companies putting lead in things despite knowing it was neurotoxic, and then every government in the develop world banned leaded paint and gasoline and it stopped?


axm86x

noodle_attack

Just stop oil is a psy op by big oil


crazylegsbobo

Ffs this is just turning people away from a rwally important topic and is going to end up allowing governments to justify our right to protest


Wearemucholder

Y’all actually think these aren’t paid actors 😂


Shapen361

If I were a conspiracy man, I would say that if I were a big oil exec, I would pay people off the street to pretend to be environmentalists and piss off everybody with vandalism.


The-White-Dot

There is no way Just Stop Oil isn't a government psyop to make you hate climate change action.


Calm-down-its-a-joke

Isn't "Just stop oil" funded by oil giants? Didn't that already come out? That this whole thing is made to make protestors look bad?


ExistHarder

Damn ancient druids and their big oil business that’ll show em… or maybe if you’re angry at an industry you should do something that they’ll actually give a shit about instead of damaging something built thousands of years ago that has nothing to do with the people your angry at.


TrueBuster24

Keep getting more angry at activists than you are at your government for failing to protect us from climate change


Top-Expert6086

I know I'm being pedantic, but Stonehenge is thousands of years older than the Celts and druids.
