Just Stop Oil — the new Occupy Wall Street?

And no, that's not necessarily good.

Agreed that Just Stop Oil is in performance art before politics. (I draw more serious conclusions than that OP, namely about the issue of this possibly being harmful to serious action against climate change. See Adbusters and the Occupy Wall Street movement on ends and means. Then, see it again and first ask who's behind it, and apply that here. Ask about mythmaking, and apply that here.) While not potentially destructive, unlike Stonehenge, the Travelers' antics were more performance theater.

I haven't done a Whois on their website yet, but I also find it interesting that Just Stop Oil has no "about" page.
