It depends on which "them" is being referred to in OP's comment. Assuming "them" are the protesters, then the answer provides what the protesters said, or at least what the organisation they represented said.

they're playing a silly game for attention without caring about the consequences

They're playing a silly but very serious game for attention, the same silly game that politicians and corporate PR departments play. And the protesters seem to care a very great deal about the consequences.

The west later admitted that they wanted the war though.

The West did not admit that they wanted the war.

In the past, the common response to the idea was, "So, rocks are conscious?" This argument was meant to illustrate the absurdity of panpsychism.

To me, this response does not illustrate any absurdity in panpsychism.

The main argument coming against it is not following the “Unix philosophy” which I’m a proponent for

Gosh, don't use a "GNU's Not Unix" system then!

I think you're confused about what "Not Unix" means in the name "GNU's Not Unix". It's nothing to do with the Unix philosophy. It's to do with overcoming the limitations of proprietary Unices from the 1980's. From the GNU Manifesto:

"GNU will be able to run Unix programs, but will not be identical to Unix. We will make all improvements that are convenient, based on our experience with other operating systems. In particular, we plan to have longer file names, file version numbers, a crashproof file system, file name completion perhaps, terminal-independent display support, and perhaps eventually a Lisp-based window system through which several Lisp programs and ordinary Unix programs can share a screen. Both C and Lisp will be available as system programming languages. We will try to support UUCP, MIT Chaosnet, and Internet protocols for communication."

But in a bizarre twist, the confirmation came only after the EU mission categorically denied the Armenian claim, going as far as to publish a graphic branding the information “false.” The EU mission retracted the message shortly afterward.

Uhhh.. wut?
