Well, you go tell that to the people who will lose their home because water levels are rising and some places on earth are becoming uninhabitable.
The crisis we’re facing will make all these historical things seem extremely meaningless and all the time and money spent preserving them look extremely irresponsible.
I hope you’ll remember this conversation when millions of people are dying trying to migrate to habitable land and when biodiversity reaches record lows and you’re unable to feed yourself properly because of what we did to this planet, I’m sure at that point you’ll tell yourself “Hey, at least resources were used to make sure the Mona Lisa stays good looking!”
I say that as a person that actually studied history in university.
The last reply I will have here is that by messing with unrelated stuff, you ARE NOT guaranteed to solve the problem or even improve it. This Stonehenge business is totally extraneous. It has nothing to do with anything. If it were permanent, it’s destruction for its own sake. What is more, it’s an implicit green light for more and worse variations of this sort of vandalism or destruction going forward.
If we all make it through, YOU remember you thought it was worth it for the sake of a sound bite and 2 more days in the news for awareness instead of even trying to address the actual problem: airlines, shipping companies, cruise services, coal plants, etc etc etc.
Fucking up history for news hits is stupid, selfish, and ultimately not even particularly effective.
So with all of that, you never understood the point of doing acts like these.
Goodbye.
But how is that action going to stop the water from rising. I am too very much concerned with climate change but I don’t see much point in those actions. They don’t really bring anything to the table nor have any impact on the matter, apart from antagonizing people to the issue perhaps.
The point of their action is to show people’s hypocrisy and to make people angry at the leaders of the world who will call it a scandal while they’re doing nothing about the destruction of the world itself.
