I didn't hear about the vandalizing of private jets until people were complaining about stone henge. Considering they did not damage stone henge in any way this does seem like a much more effective way of bringing attention to the issue.

It'd be a bit odd if you had heard about the jets before the Stonehenge stunt since they vandalized the jets one day after Stonehenge. I heard about each of them on the day they happened as I was listening to the news.

this does seem like a much more effective way of bringing attention to the issue.

Even most leftists didn't support the Stonehenge stunt while the majority of comments and posts I've seen on the vandalism of the jets was positive. The majority of the public has grievances towards private jets, their pollution and who's using them, and how they should be taxed. You'll be hard-pressed to find anyone who thinks Stonehenge is bad or that vandalizing it is good.

This only serves to make them and other climate activists look like petty fools, besides creating infighting on the left. Nearly everyone already knows about climate change and has an opinion on it, and the Stonehenge stunt does nothing to move the public to our side or make Just Stop Oil look good.
