I mostly am not that keen on XR, but this is entirely legit.
we’re 50 years past the Exxon paper where they admitted they knew about climate change and were willing to do nothing – all of these environmental activist groups (especially the ones being led by millennials and zoomers – Extinction Rebellion, Ta Tillbaka Framtiden, Climate Defiance, et al) are solidly in the territory of “Self defense is not violence.” …
Honestly from what I am seeing, they seem to be about the most effective climate group in the world right now. They seem to hit the right targets where it hurts.
Do I understand this correctly, if you say that you do not agree that what you do is illegal, you can just continue doing it in the UK and the police is not going to do anything about that? Seems like XR just found their legal loophole.
That only really works for the wealthy and the powerful. It doesn’t work for the rest of us.
