🧵Tens of thousands of people have been out on the streets of London since Friday, calling for #ClimateAction.
@morss_alex has been monitoring media coverage.
If you get your news from TV, broadsheets or tabloids, chances are you won't have heard anything about #TheBigOne.

But although you didn't hear about the tens of thousands of people protesting in London, chances are that you did hear about that one guy who jumped on a #snooker table in Sheffield.
None of this remotely surprising. It's yet another example of the #ActivistsDilemma in action.

When non-activists criticise groups like JSO for engaging in disruptive protest it's common for them to say they don't mind protest if it's done in a way that doesn't affect people going about their business. That's what activists have been doing this weekend. It doesn't work.

💬 Hannah Smith, 20, a student from London said:
“Why is the government refusing to listen? The people of this country have had enough, and we deserve better from our leaders. Don’t let them convince you that we can’t make change. When we move as a collective, we have power.”

A week after the #TomatoToss and there's a new (just accepted) paper that looks at this sort of confrontational #protest by @ExtinctionR and its effects on the general public! Some thoughts after the past week's discussions @RobbWiller @Revkin @MichaelEMann @Revkin @amywestervelt
The authors use data from a longitudinal study in the UK (so of the population) to assess the effects of the #protest on attitudes, sense of efficacy, support for policy, and "views about the severity and imminence of environmental crises" iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…
The results show proximity to the #protest made respondents more supportive of pro-environmental behaviors and policies, but reduced respondents' willingness to pay the price. The authors note they are consistent with the philosophy of @ExtinctionR, which sponsored the actions

These actions take place as the UK launches its first oil and gas licensing round since 2019 on Friday, aiming to award more than 100 licenses to ramp up domestic oil and gas production and destroy the lives of every future generation.

⬆️ Give they what they need. Instead, share out the information in masses. If they don’t get the kinetic response they are hoping for, then they look stupid “AGAIN” and it will wake up more people. The goal right now is the court of public opinion and we are winning that war ⤵️
⬆️Wether you believe in Conspiracies, Q, etc the one FACT is undeniable is “WE THE PEOPLE” have to defend & fix this country. Wether the “White Hats” Trump or any good guy comes to help is extra. The future your children grow up in is your responsibility. Win Local Offices⤵️
What was Mohandas #Gandhi doing carrying wounded #British soldiers off the battlefield in #SouthAfrica in 1899? Gandhi was merely leading by example, in the ambulance corps he set up to support the British against the Boers in the Second Boer War (1899-1902). 1/12
#war

But why would Gandhi support the British, especially since he had experienced the humiliation of racial discrimination in South Africa soon after he got there? It was #OnThisDay in 1893 that Gandhi was thrown off a train for refusing to comply with racial segregation laws. 2/12
This was more than a decade before Gandhi evolved his concept of #civildisobedience. He spent 21 years (1893 - 1914) in South Africa and went on to organize the #CivilRights movement, to raise the status of the indentured #Indian population there. 3/12

We're in a Climate & Ecological Crisis, Sixth Mass Extinction, a threat to us all. Fossil fuels, though they account for over 80% of carbon emissions produced by humans, continue to be widely used. That's massively destabilising our biosphere, yet our Parliament says/does nothing

When the 68 uprising graffitied Paris with “Be Realistic, Demand the Impossible!” who thought this call to action would meet its alter ego years later in the UK?

In the face of the #climate emergency happening now, XR recognises the need for disruptive actions that highlight the severity of the crisis. Insulate Britain is playing a vital role in shifting the Overton Window around public awareness and urgent government action. #ActNow
The recent attempt to ban a form of protest from happening anywhere in the UK is a warning to all of us who dare to stand up for truth; the UK government is coming for us all. It is also a complete vindication of our resistance.

Our reponse to the IPCC AR6: Scientific establishments are starting to say what climate activists have been saying for decades: we are beyond the precipice, our only hope is a political revolution.
Climate tipping points are already breached, our weather violently disturbed, our food supplies at risk, our water endangered, our homes threatened, and our prospects for survival under siege.
Terrifyingly - this is the conservative view, the inescapable reality wrapped in a soft and agreeable tone. The truth is we have been murdered in our sleep, our futures stripped and sold like assets, gambling chips in the games of billionaires.

If you use #violence, well the one with the biggest #ego or the biggest ego-extension (guns, tanks, war) will win.
