People are saying that Just Stop Oil are a psyops or controlled opposition.

I believe that JSO are, actually, just organisationally incompetent. They just are bad at what they do. No psyops needed. They just suck at optics, planning, and even identifying whether a lorry is carting chemicals or crude oil.

@yassie_j maybe their goal is to cause outrage? like if you stage a protest in front of an oil company, nobody gives a shit? i feel like people do it all the time, and nobody cares? but as soon as you spray stuff on the stoned henge, everyone loses their minds

@yassie_j i hope they're a psyop, but there's a good chance they're just really stupid. either way they do a great job at discrediting climate activism.

@eri this is soooo it!!! Like, I think the simplest answer is that they’re just bad at it. Their activism has no art to it. There’s no coherence.
