Just Stop Oil’s first protests were directly shutting down oil terminals, then oil companies bought private laws to stop that so they moved on to other, at the time legal, methods such as “slow marching”. These were then also made illegal. Also the sunflowers painting was covered in glass.

    I remember when people were angry at Greenpeace for attempting to scale oil drilling platforms in the Arctic. So yeah.

  • I’m still on the fence about Just Stop Oil. They “shut down” oil terminals for the span of a single Friday morning, but the blow back led to laws that are still on the book today. Their operations seemed purposely created to create as much outrage as possible without actually effectively damaging the oil industry in any measurable way. It doesn’t help that they were funded by a fucking Getty oil heiress. So it’s hard for me to determine if it was actually a false flag operation or just the good intentions of a incompetent billionaire.

    The meme seems to be ironic than actually saying that Doland is like that. Should I mention that in meme title or description?
