I applaud the message but this is such a photo OP stunt. Fully geared up with hard hats and greenpeace hivis gear, carrying extendable ladders thst collapse to briefcase size fully extended...
In my mind, photos like this are super sus and feels like this was coordinated and approved to keep up appearances.
That's obvious. Making History: How Greenpeace Visuals Win Campaigns | greenpeace.org They try to get media coverage because they think climate change needs more attention. What else could you possibly think? That they spontaneously made that fabric on site? Not coordinated??? I don't get it.
Look, that's presumably a high security home. They just walked on in set up ladders and climbing gear. Took a bunch of photos along the way, drooped what in-my-opinion is nondestructive black fabric over the house, took more photos and ~~left~~ waited around until they got arrested.
The article keeps emphasizing "oil black fabric" but oil is wet, and that fabric looks dry. Are there aftermath photos?
I'm suggesting this was coordinates by greenpeace and the person they "attacked"
I agree with this take. Imagine if Greenpeace did this to the US Whitehouse. There is no way it would work unless they coordinated with the President/Secret Service etc. But if I saw a picture of that and it was presented in a way that it was a guerrilla attack, then it's obviously bullshit. And if you are greenpeace and coordinating with the targets of your attack then what are you actually doing?
Also greenpeace is still anti-nuclear, so they should be dismissed with prejudice anyway. It's basically a club of rich fucks profiting off of climate destruction so that they can boat around the world on their boats and pretend they are activists.
