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.

It doesn’t help the message

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.

Probably not or there wouldn't be discussion.
