So the meme is in agreement that defacing Stonehenge as a protest was pointless?

The meme is saying you're getting angry about the wrong thing.

    I’m not angry. I’m disappointed by performative radicalism of an important cause. It doesn’t help the message as much as it strokes the egos of those involved, and will likely be discrediting to those we need to reach.

    Really? Because I'm seeing it being talked about a lot.

    Debating the method of the performance is not the same as compelling people to learn about climate change and join protests. If anything, it has the opposite effect. It’s only compelling to those already in the fold, and therefore counterproductive to the cause.

    It is though. We're talking about it now, but responding your disproving your own theory.

    Everyone having this particular exact discussion is already convinced, though.

    Conversations on a public platform aren’t just for those who speak; they’re also for those who listen. Many people are simply reading these exchanges without engaging in them. I think this discourse is most valuable for them, far more valuable than for someone whose opinion is so ingrained that they’re the one arguing about it.

    You can be angry about both things, the world isn't black and white. Leave the fucking stones alone and blow up corporate headquarters for all I care.

    And yet here you are being angry about the stones. How far back in your comment history would I have to look to find you being angry about climate change?
