@Freedom_Press Justified and harmless - it's cornstarch, it'll wash off - but unconvinced that these performance pieces are having much impact.

I don't think it's dissuading people as some detractors claim - if these stunts are enough to shake your commitment to preventing climate change then let's be honest you weren't actually committed to the ideal at all - but it's difficult to see them as anything more than a lobbying exercise targeted at a largely disinterested establishment.

I think protest more disruptive of capital processes responsible for climate change (esp. oil production, the military-industrial complex, industrialised animal agriculture) probably more effective, but also higher risk for the activists.
