They threw balloons over the fence to weaken concrete with Salt, Acetic Acid, Peroxide, and acrylic paint at some bare concrete and steel where a facility is going to be built.
I feel like the guy with the paint didn't understand the memo.

Might not be the best way to do it, but hey, they're doing something. I'm proud of them.
This organization is so insanely dumb.
So what now, if they didn't clean it up they might have to replace small patches of concrete in 5 to 10 years. But if they cleaned it up the next day, there's barely any harm done.
Previous action of them was blocking trains to protest climate change. You know, the big metal tubes running on electricity. The highly efficient alternative to combustion engine cars.
Whats next, chaining themselves onto solar panels? On windmill turbines? Like I said before, they are so fucking dumb.
Just wait for the data center to be finished and throw some molotovs. FFS.

They used vinegar. And the peroxide is probably 3% max. Okay plan, poor execution. This will do nothing.
replies:
Sugar is great for concrete sabotage as well
Well done!
Holy shit, did they finally get the message that stopping regular people from going about their day just makes everyone hate them?
What a spectacularly useless organisation.

dousing them with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, acetic acid, salt, and acrylic paint
Is there a civil engineer here who would know what degree of damage will this cause?
replies:
Cool. Fuck Microsoft
Would it have made more sense for them to claim it was a secret mixture of stuff that destroys concrete? If the engineers were obligated to check the structure because they didn’t know what was sprayed on it, that would have delayed construction, even if the liquid was pretty benign.

It's insane we can't stop them from being built, but the next best thing is treating it like full on mob style international crime when we start getting sane governments back.
Charge everyone who voted for this anywhere, and pressure them to plea out to snitch on who bribed them.
At every level of the ring, you only need a small.percent to flip. Everyone else gets max sentences.
A steady unending march up the chain and it won't take long before people are trying to get a deal before investigators even know their name. They'll go full on crabs in abu ket and desperate to turn state witness.
Just because Biden sat on his hands doesn't mean the strategy doesn't work if someone actually tries
