    What’s the point of destroying Stonehenge if humanity survives as a cascading result of stopping air travel? Defacing or destroying Stonehenge is not the lynch pin that solves or even moves the needle on climate change.

    Worse, if it WORKS it means the next cause that is perhaps not existential is going to come and destroy something else that belongs to humanity. Weirdly, when nation states destroy heritage sites it’s considered a type of war crime, but when it comes up for raising awareness for climate change fuck yeah everyone’s in!

      No one destroyed Stonehenge. They covered it in wheat-based cornstarch-based dye that washes off in the rain (something England gets a lot of). Calm your tits.

        Last time it was cornstarch.

        And the stones are covered in lichen that protect the stone

        While you are correct (and while I said destroy OR deface), the two different posts about this both contain people advocating for actual destruction for the same reasons.

        Please read the other posts and alarm your tits to the reality / tenor of the discussion.

          Okay “alarm your tits” is a genuinely funny turn of phrase.
