From a thread about hatred of climate activists:

"They don't want the protesters to win. (...) No one wants to contemplate the harsh reality of climate. They especially don't want to contemplate how they personally fit into the situation, in terms of both morality and mortality."

That's right. Everyone wants to carry on with their lives with minimal disruption.

Climate activists have deflated the tyres of "gas guzzling" SUVs in the affluent Melbourne suburb of Toorak overnight.

Tyre Extinguishers, a global environmentalist group, targeted 10 vehicles and left behind notes on windshields instructing drivers to take public transport, cycle or walk instead.

“ATTENTION: Your gas guzzler kills," the note reads. "We have deflated one or more of your tyres."

What a great advise from @ingridrobeyns:

'At the very minimum, those who are not joining the activists but who agree with their goals ... should voice their appreciation to the activists. And of course, it’s even better to join them.'

If a majority of people in the #UK stopped eating meat & dairy, this would just about end the UK's meat industry (demand & supply)

To mitigate #ClimateChange & species extinctions, the grazing of farm animals needs to be vastly reduced & the landscape has to be ecologically restored. AKA #rewilding

Quite a few people have accused me of being condescending because of the way "l say it" to people that choose to light fires (e.g., relatively wealthy folk that own wood burners & light BBQs) However, if they weren't so friggin ignorant & arrogant I wouldn't talk to them "that way" (after they'd spoken complete nonsense about that which they typically understand very little about. E.g., the chemistry of air pollution)

The lights are on, but?

Going back a bit, but a good overview on who to target and how to in climate politics There are lots of good ideas on how to tackle climate change. A key issue is on strategy. In the absence of the ideas being implemented, how to get from here to there.

There was previously no term for the feeling of desolation in the face of ongoing environmental destruction. Now in German there's #Solastalgie (from "solace", English, and -algie, Greek "pain").
You can also listen how to cope psychologically with #Klimaangst/ #Climateanxiety in this interview/podcast. (In German)

A horrible story (from the Telegraph)... but what the heck is the point of putting Extinction Rebellion and climate activism in the headline?!

Awful, loaded, framing.

2022: #WorldParty’s ‘#PrivateRevolution’ Tackled #Environmental Concerns 35 Years Ago

Seeds planted in the Reagan years continue to bear poison fruit. On Private Revolution, World Party presaged today’s “There is no planet B” slogan 35 years ago.

By Cheryl Graham / 1 March 2022

"By the mid-1980s, the modern environmental movement had fractured into a cornucopia of causes, including #antinukes and #RacialJustice. The music of the day, by and large, did not champion those concerns.

"Enter World Party, the solo project of Welsh musician and producer Karl Wallinger. After a stint playing keyboards in the #Waterboys, Wallinger released Private Revolution, World Party’s debut album, in March 1987. Recorded and produced by Wallinger, its ten original songs center on environmental themes, emphasizing personal responsibility. It’s all set to a sound incorporating groovy psychedelic synths with earthy piano and percussion. Wallinger sings and plays all of the instruments, except for saxophone on one track by Anthony Thistlethwaite (Waterboys) and violin by Steve Wickham (Waterboys and In Tua Nua) on another. Backing vocals are provided by an unknown Irish singer named #Sinead O’Connor."

As an excellent example, the convergence of an XR chapter with a local squatters movement. The climate activists recognizing the synergy of place-based "generative refusal" (Leanne Simpson) with the squatters, and getting involved in place-based resistance and a strategic material intervention to change the system in that city. Same story with Atlanta and #StopCopCity ...

... whose work has resulted in hundreds of people — including the middle class people and workers, who seem so elusive to other climate movements — getting involved in mass protest and advocating abolitionist and ecological perspectives to local government. Example here, from a firefighter in Atlanta talking abolition perspectives to the government:

https://twitter.com/MarxistUnityDSA/status/1665861210598785027?s=20

"If you listen to any of the #StopCopCity public comment, you can hear how deeply abolitionist frameworks have taken root––so many people, whether identifying as abolitionists or not, articulated a vision of safety dependent on resources and relationships, rather than policing." — @micahinatl

A lot of #climatescientists I know either sympathize with peaceful disruptive #climateactivism
or take direct action themselves for good reasons:
- Climate activists hear the science.
- Their peaceful protests appeal to the democratic structures of power in our society.
- They essentially call for very concrete actions that are achievable now.

One should actually see an opportunity for a change in these protests instead of repressing them.
