Hey everyone, it's a new month and, since there are 5 Tuesdays in November, it's a 5-Bonus-Video month! So we're starting right here on the first (when a Tuesday lands on the 1st, I usually push it back to Wednesday because Patreon's site used to be really slow on the 1st, but they seem to have fixed that... yay Patreon), and for the super-observant, you'll notice this is NOT the video I advertised on the weekend. I decided to put this one together on Sunday, and have it out this week since it's pretty topical. Enjoy, and also... Dose #400 is this Saturday!

Buckley looks at the recent "Just Stop Oil" activists who have been going around throwing soup on paintings, gluing themselves to paintings, throwing cake at wax figures, and spraying paint on luxury car dealerships. Is activism effective just because people are talking about it? And what is the media's role in this when they endlessly cover stories like this, while ignoring more serious forms of activism from the same group?
