    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.

      My thoughts are to consider greenpeace a media production company. Coordinate a b-roll shoot under a pseudonym to access the property, stage your shots and leave. There’s no footage of the activists getting arrested on the story this post links to, and the fabric clearly isn’t oil drenched, it’s just “oil-black” (I. E. The name of the color, not the state of the fabric)

      Greenpeace gets their marketing materials and the estate gets some cash.
