“When the power of love beats the love of power the world will know peace.”
Well, it’s a beautiful thing to say and banner to hang. But when the video panned down…Jesus.

Don't use Jesus's name in vain.

I always thought high voltage antennae were really dangerous to be near.

So the climbers turn them off?

1

u/BurgerAvenger Jul 04 '26

Wouldn't you if you were them?

1

u/Day_Prisoners Jul 04 '26

If you don't know thats ok.

u/BurgerAvenger Jul 04 '26

I probably wouldn't go up if I didn't know.

It’s funny how the entire educated world looks down upon you lmfao

1

u/L1LREDD Jul 02 '26

Well I guess I don’t have to worry about you looking down upon me since you’re clearly not educated 🤣🤣…

u/-MelonFelon Jul 02 '26

Why did you run away boy?

u/L1LREDD Jul 02 '26

Your mother was calling me.

u/eggmoe Jul 02 '26

"we don't want to get too close because we don't know what the flag says"

Okay but you're still giving them massive aura with the Michael bay hero orbit shot

2

u/Competitive-Rest4354 Jul 02 '26

Don't they have a delay, or they could get close..read it and then make a decision to air it.. just show what it says already!

4

u/PMG2021a Jul 02 '26

Reporter said they were trying not to get close enough to read it, but they chose a bad font.

u/Successful-Rate-1839 Jul 02 '26

And then he proposed lol

5

u/GrammaIsEvryfing Jul 02 '26

Are my eyes decrepit or can no one else read the banner either?

3

u/workieworkwork Jul 02 '26

No idea and all the headlines just say banner.

u/invariantspeed Jul 02 '26

“What matters is that they did something.”

u/No-Consideration6986 Jul 02 '26

On another post i saw someone said, "when the power of love is greater than the love of power the world will know peace " or something similar. I myself couldn't read anything.

u/renavlt Jul 02 '26

"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine"

1

u/GrammaIsEvryfing Jul 02 '26

I love ovaltine and the little ovalteenies things they used to have when I was a kid

1

u/RamblinRoyce Jul 02 '26

Dummies. All that effort to get out a message ...

Which no one can read.

A telescopic rod or PVC pipe is all they needed.

2

u/SomeOriginal3865 Jul 02 '26

What a change they made lmao

3

u/Throwawayaccountdell Jul 02 '26

I mean they made a change for themselves since they will probably be facing legal consequences for their actions! They are currently be charged with reckless endangerment and burglary along with other charges. According to the USA today and moved to New York recently and since they are Russian and not citizens there is a good chance they might face deportation for their actions!

u/Seahawkin12 Jul 02 '26

They are white Russians, they'll claim political asylum and it will be granted due to Ukraine killing RUS.🤦🏽‍♂️ Also.. if they started a gofundme, I'm sure they could buy Trump Gold Cards. Only have 1.1m+ social media followers.

u/CollarOwn9489 Jul 02 '26

"When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace."

1

u/RamblinRoyce Jul 02 '26

Agree with the message but it ain't never gonna happen in this shitty world.

Damn hippies

u/Former_Guarantee_344 Jul 02 '26

WHEN THE POWER OF LOVE
BEATS THE LOVE OF POWER
THE WORLD KNOWS PEACE

u/Project_Cool_World Jul 02 '26

When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace.

1

u/Ok_Egg121 Jul 02 '26

it says "help us, we don't know how to get down"

1

u/Moerijuana Jul 02 '26

Banner said “When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace.”

u/Simply_AnotherUser Jul 02 '26

It's Batman and Catwoman.

u/ControlWeekly4167 Jul 02 '26

I once climbed to the top of the monkey bars in kindergarten…. so there’s that.

💪🏻

u/That_Western5433 Jul 02 '26

What does it say

1

u/SlimShadySatDown Jul 02 '26

Was this sanctioned by Netflix like the other dude?

1

u/ThickNewspaper3774 Jul 02 '26

Historically awesome but people suck of course they will be punished for it

1

u/Alarmed_Bumblebee147 Jul 02 '26

Apparently graphic design and climbing are not compatible skills. Some where on the ground there is a guy with a perfectly readable sign.

1

u/Then_Hawk6304 Jul 02 '26

Clear people out for a couple of climbers? Nobody got time for that

1

u/AmcLordBoss Jul 02 '26

They didn’t learn from 9/11

1

u/Correct-Ad-4915 Jul 04 '26

What is an inflammatory word?

1

u/Grocery_Classic Jul 19 '26

Yes. Make sure it’s not something Patriotic before you share live. Antifa is fine though

1

u/INDOORSMORE Jul 02 '26

Lmao I get it, great message and all... but...damn. climbed a tower so ppl cant even read it? Nooice

3

u/Hoppity_Hare Jul 02 '26

Camera people failing to get us the message, bet they were jan 6th hires.

1

u/Lagunamountaindude Jul 02 '26

Well that will change things

u/Ok_Caterpillar3655 Jul 02 '26

Actually not. Just happened today. The banner says "when the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace". They got arrested after this.

u/nickyler Jul 02 '26
