Just Stop Oil protesters vandalise Chelsea Flower Show garden

[blacksax]

WTF do these people stand for?

Just fuck off you utter, utter cunts.

Actually, people got us into this, then society understood the environment better then tech will save us,

There are none so blind as those who will not see.

Not my creation

Ironically, you don't seem bothered by the damage they do to property.

Anyway, I'll ask you again, is this all they've done?

Well at least you recognise that in yourself.

A small amount of powdered paint on some flagstones is nothing compared the constant fires raging through England in a few years time when climate change gets properly to work.

Watch the video - they sprinkled some paint and spoke a few words. it all seems to be over in less that 3 minutes.

For the third time, is this all they've done?

Damaging other people property is a dickhead move, yes. I don't think it's me that's led the sheltered life here. Clearly you weren't provided with the necessary skills required to function properly in society.

The irony of this thread, is that if we lived in the early 1900’s and had mumsnet, you’d be spilling similar vitriol about the suffragette movement - which I imagine many of you admire now.
Women turned against women, societies decried them as terrorises and hypocrites, evil, small-minded, troublemakers. And I bet the word cunt was used to describe them a lot too.

Whilst you may not like their methods, many of you need to think about the level of anger you feel, is it proportional to how you are individually effected?

And yes, they have achieved their aim. You are in a state of cognitive dissonance. You have an alternative argument, you have to decide if you agree or disagree with what they are saying, and to what extent. You may not agree, that’s not what they are aiming to do, they want to make you think!

Are you incapable of watching the video to see for yourself?

😂😆😄

Yes they made me think. About how there's so many over privileged posh scum, bankrolled by their parents, doing their best to destroy the lives of ordinary working people, whilst practicing hypocrisy to very high standards.

Nah. I'd be asking 'Was the horse alright? Stupid twat could have killed it'.

Which is amply displayed by us... doing absolutely nothing to change course.

But by all means, I'm sure any day now, we'll magic bullet our way out of runaway climate change, biodiversity collapse, declining freshwater aquifers, exergy limits... just got to get Meta or Intel or TSMC to pull their finger out and solve deeply ingrained biological imperatives and thermodynamics, then it's all good.

Thank you for making my point @AnarchoTyrannosaurus and @NeverDropYourMooncup 🙄😁

I'm asking you (now for the fourth time) is today's stunt all JSO have done? Are you incapable of answering a simple question?

Last year the floods in Pakistan killed 1,739 people, injured 12,800 and made 33 million people homeless. That’s the equivalent of about half of the population of the UK.

The floods were directly due to climate change causing a severe heat wave that lead to heavier than usual rains and melting glaciers. Malawi’s population have suffered terrible climate change related losses of life and destitution this year.

One person missing a funeral is sad, of course it is, but how can you compare it to human misery on such a large scale?

But have you considered...

They should have had a TikToker do this paper too, because it got zero attention in the press. Still scratching my head trying to figure out why. 🤔

Go and research what they do. It's not very hard. I'm sure you're capable of that. 🙄

Hopefully the UK will pull out of this insanity trying to reach the impossible target of net zero so quickly / no clear pathway to achieve it, which will inevitably destroy people's lives and bankrupt the country.

Some people with orange paint are hardly going to change the world ?, where's their scientific contribution ?

I don't have the scientific qualifications to analyse that information.

But how is causing more deaths by protesting the way they do, going to save more people overall ?

If anything the laws will tighten to stop those protesters and to be honest, rightly so.

What was @Itdoesnthavetobejusrol reply?
